Mrs. Leelawathie, a sixty year old woman from Manajjawa, Sri Lanka explains how she got involved in health promotion activities and the changes in her life after that.“I had only been educated up to 4th grade.

Laurence Gilliot commented on Kalana's blog post Children and Communities transfer their experiences to “experts” on Health at the International Symposium held in Colombo"Dear Kalana,

Sri Lanka is a low prevalence country inspite of having a high prevalence of risk behaviour.
