Renuka’s Team


Help for house hold is easily found in this part of the country. When tea plantations near urban areas were closed many years ago most worker families decided to remain in Sri Lanka where they were born rather than to leave for South India from where their ancestors were brought by the British. These families are getting integrated to native population gradually and very successfully. Many of them find work in local households.

Renuka has a team of helpers. Selva is live-in help. He does some cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and gardening. He goes home once a month. Achchi comes to help with cleaning a few times a month. Kanthi is a very good cook and has spent many years abroad. She comes a few days a week for a few hours a visit.
