Kanchana Weerakoon is the driving force behind Eco-Volunteers Sri Lanka and Journeys for Climate Change, Australia. So when she wants something to happen, it does! Eco-Volunteers are young Sri Lankans who want to raise awareness of climate change and get people thinking green. Trudy, another dynamo, suggested to Kanchana that the MY STORY photo project might help by teaching some of the volunteers how to make clear, readable images to promote protecting the planet.

So we found ourselves hurtling through the warm January Colombo night in a mini-van at 2 am, going from the airport to Kanchana's house in Boralesgamua, a village 13 km outside the city. Most international flights to Colombo arrive at this early morning hour due to the unbelievable traffic into town, something which we were soon to experience. At 2 am all we wanted was a bed, and we got a very comfortable one along with a warm welcome from our host at her large, airy house surrounded by trees and plants at the end of a narrow dirt lane.
Tuktuk. Close your eyes and hang on!
They are like bumper cars for grown ups. And a great way to get around.
