Project Sri Lanka ... Sinhala ... part 3 of 14

Preparation for the 2008 trip of volunteers going to Gandarawatte - here you see a Sinhala lesson provided by the Durham University Sri Lankan society. Sinhala is the language most widely spoken in Sri Lanka (Tamil is also quite widely spoken in Sri Lanka, although not so much in the south where Gandarawatte is located).

For more information see below, the Project Sri Lanka webpage (link below) and other parts of this documentary.

Project Sri Lanka is an all-inclusive' project. It brings together Durham University students and staff with community and regional partners in activities which aim to assist with both the reconstruction and regeneration of tsunami devastated communities in Southern Sri Lanka and also with the long term sustainable development of both coastal and inland villages. It is grounded in humanitarian objectives. It has students and young people at the heart of it. It is underpinned by academic research and teaching in a wide range of disciplines which have relevance to understanding natural disasters and dealing with the effects of human tragedy.
