Mother reunites with three children stranded in Kurunegala
A mother of three who had been stranded in Kuwait after her prospective employer had refused to provide her employment, returned to the country today much to the relief of her children who had been left to the mercy of the jungle without any protection.
The Daily Mirror highlighted the predicament of the three children who requested the authorities to facilitate the return of their mother from Kuwait.
The Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau had taken immediate steps within 24 hours to make arrangements for her to reunite with her children.
The disappointed expatriate worker, Wasana Fernando said she had been left in a room of the employment agency for more than a month when the prospective employer had refused to provide her employment. She said she went abroad leaving her three children in the care of her mother but she had died of cancer.
Her 15-year-old son is the eldest in the family and her daughter seven years old. The youngest was a five-year-old boy. They had been living in a dilapidated wattle and daub hut amidst the thick jungle.
Minister Manusha Nanayakkara who paid prompt attention to their request had made arrangements through the Sri Lankan Embassy and the Foreign Employment Bureau for her to return to the country.
Wasana expressed her gratitude to the media that highlighted her predicament and for drawing the attention of the authorities. (Kanchana Kumara)
