"My husband passed away in 1986. I have eight children. I sell fish on the shore, and earn Sri Lankan Rupees 15/= as an average income per day. I live on my own. I mange to live with what I earn. But I am getting older, and I am unable to be in the blazing sun for longer and earn more" says sixty eight years old Paththamani Kailasapillai of Erinthamman Kovilady in Viyaparimoolai in Point Pedro-Jaffna.
