This photo was taken for a post-tsunami recovery project based in Madampagama on the south west coast of Sri Lanka. The project is a joint effort between The Sustainable Trust in the UK and The Centre for Environment and Development in Sri Lanka. For more details on this project click here.

While I was in the village, the community was busy setting up a community centre with the support of the CED. While some were sanding down then painting the interior, others were working on installing a new water tank. The kids were particularly keen to get involved and here two young helpers dig the trench for the water pipe whilst grandmother looks on from behind.
