ABOUT ME

I'm a writer, storyteller and a literature translator from English to Sinhala, my native language. I like to learn languages. I have been teaching Sinhala to Tamil children in the far North (Jaffna) for 8 years as under a program called "Link Language Program". It's goal to make mutual understanding among two ethnic groups through language. My FB profile is: https://www.facebook.com/dms.ariyrathne
