Hidden Hope: A Visit to a Sri Lankan Tea Estate

by Cindy-Lou Dale

Television news bombards us daily with images of global destruction, famine, disease, and wars.

No wonder we despair at the future mankind is forging foritself, one filled with hopelessness and religious fanatics hiding behind guns.

However, what the news doesnot show is a modified trend amongst the citizens of the world – a transfer from salvation to liberation; a change in mindset and taking responsibility, teaching other like-minded individuals by example.

Quote of the month

The Cultural Triangle [in Sri Lanka] is like the Bermuda Triangle except in reverse. Here, nothing disappears; it is just temporarily lost from sight for a millennium or so, always waiting to be rediscovered. The roads are full of Morris Minors, you see more in a day that you would see in a year in England. They aren’t wrecks; it is as though they were still being made.
