Chamod enjoys riding his bicycle with his friends. Although his village is green and lush but it is also poverty-stricken and Chamod’s household is no exception. The annual income of Chamod’s household is USD300/-. This income is generated by Chamod’s father who is a farmer of seasonal crops. Chamod’s mother is a housewife and attends to the house work and looks after her children. Chamod accompanies her to the woods to gather firewood for cooking and to the public well in the village to draw water for the family’s needs.They live in a partly completed house.They enjoy electricity and a water sealed toilet. He walks to school and back with his father every day. His favorite subject in school is Sinhala. In his spare time, he likes to play with his sister and friends from the neighborhood. This little boy could really use the support of a kind hearted person right now. The poverty he and his family experiences is crippling but an intervention to overcome poverty will really make such a difference for Chamod.
