Siriyavatta Kochchikade lives on the beach with her 25 years old disabled son and her youngest son of six years. When Peter and Netty Dobbelsteen met her, they had a hut built of waste materials. In May 2006 we provided for a stone house for them.
She earns a living by pushing her son to the fish market every morning and by looking out for the bikes of the visitors. 14 km every day. She requested us to help her to work at home. We have made her happy with a used sewing machine
