Sarwar Alam, Youth Coordinator for WCPA, myself, and Nalin Jayasuriya, at one of the fine restaurants that Nalin took us to as our generous host in Sri Lanka. (Photos outdoors in downtown Colombo are discouraged because the military is everywhere, ostensibly to guard against possible terrorist attacks. Hence, there are no photos here of the beach, the outside of these fine hotels, or the area of our seminar.)
