Sri Lanka’s Independence

2008 marks Sri Lanka’s 60th anniversary of independence, but many worry this will be a year of war. After the official end of the 2002 Norway brokered ceasefire, the country has born witness to escalated military attacks as well as numerous bombings, including attacks on a bus, railway station, and zoo. A series of bombs coincided with today’s independence celebrations.

What if we change 2008 from being the year of continued violence to the year of the Sri Lankan Child?
