Just few years ago I met a little angel Priya in the Batticolo refugee camp hospital; she is a one and only child for the family, now she lost her dearest loving parents in the air ride. Now she is orphan. That little one, only 1 ½ year old, didn’t know about it and was playing happily.
With out missing a day I visit her, play with her for a little while and go home after my work
Little angel Priya was a little weaker in her health often getting sick when they found her, Doctor’s big challenge was to make her healthy. Now she is very healthy and lively, and pet for all the people who are in the Refuge Camp Hospital workers and Patients.
Finally NGO decide to find parents for her to give some loving care & protection. So they started searching for parents who wanted to adopt the orphan little girl. They took really 4 months to find a good couple for her. Finally they found a nice young couple from New Zealand , they don’t have any children and they can’t have any one in the future. NGO Management Decided to give the child to them.
Finally Little Priya got nice Parents, All are happy but little worried she would leave us. Finally the day came for her to bid farewell. The young Couple came to Sri Lanka and they weren’t allowed to get to the War Zone by the Embassy, so they stayed in the City. The NGO Person has to take Little Priya with her to the head office – Colombo and they will hand over to her new parents with all the documentation.
At last the day came, it’s 8am. Priya and lady staff were to leave for Colombo in our vehicle, All staff and patients came to bid farewell to her. She is really like a little angel she wearing a pink frilly frock. So every one hugged her and said bye to her and we waved our hands until the vehicle got faded from our eye sight. Finally all went to do their job with a memory of Priya.
At about 10am we heard about the Blast on the surround area and our NGO team went to see the incident place, I am the Photographer of the team. When we got close to the incident place I got the knots in my stomach . . . and I started to pray it’s not happen what I’m see front of me. . . That is our NGO Vehicle and one army Vehicle got Blasted and army person trying to stop fire. All died on the spot I don’t like to go near . . . but I have to do my duty. . . I couldn’t find a sign of priya or others our staff all got burned. With a heavy heart we finished our duty and came back to our office informed the incident to the Head Office.
I hope little angel Priya Happily Living with her Mom & Dad in heaven with out any worries.
