Following Anuradhapura, we arrived at Vavuniya where we spent three days, out of which two days were
completely dedicated to resting and reviving ourselves and also completing the
tasks each of us were assigned. For the first time in the whole tour, we stayed
at our residence - the house of Christin Rajah, our Vice President, without any
sightseeing. We enjoyed the time we spent there, playing cricket, watching
movies and also learning more about Conflict Transformation. We were also able
to listen to the views of Christin, which complemented what we were already
learning.
And we also had an opportunity to cook our own dinner, which
was truly a relief after some bad experiences we had eating outside. We also had an opportunity to do more laundry
and to prepare ourselves for the last stretch of our journey.
On the second day we went to Kanaganayagam Maha Vidyalam, in
Vavuniya where we conducted an assembly. And later a few of us met with student
leaders from schools in Vavuniya and spoke about Sri Lanka Unites with them.
Overall, the time we spent at Vavuniya was really effective
in getting us prepared for the rest of the tour and also in expanding our roots
in Vavuniya.
