In response to our
story titled "Tears for my baby" by Ranee Mohamed last week,
Kamalawathie who was helpless and had handed over little Nipuni to the
police because she was unable to feed the child; not only got back
little Nipuni from the orphanage in keeping with an order made by the
Magistrate’s Court, Wattala, but also received the comfort and care of
a philanthropist at Dickman’s Road, Colombo 4. Maheswary Velautham of
the Forum for Human Dignity will not only give the duo shelter and food,
but also schooling for the child and care for Kamalawathie and Nipuni
for life. Other well wishers too have provided assistance to
Kamalawathie through The Sunday Leader. See story in Review
section.

The
trouble with bus travel
Ask any commuter, if given a
choice whether he or she would choose to undertake bus travel and
the reply would be the predictable firm 'No.' It is those who lack
the luxury of a privately owned vehicle who would undertake a bus
journey. Or else, who would want the package deal of delays,
hassles, and pickpockets to deal with while commuting to a
destination.
