Water & People - A Book of Questions
Water shapes people, and people shape water. By exploring Sri Lanka’s coasts and waterways, we’ve gained fresh perspectives on its ecology, culture, and society. Agreeing on five themes—Senses, Risk, Care, Creations, and Time—was both challenging and exciting, as they reveal the interconnectedness of everything. This book, designed for curious travelers and their children, isn’t about providing facts but sparking wonder. It invites you to explore, reflect, and discover more—whether in Sri Lanka, on your journey home, or in quiet moments later. Enjoy the journey and share the experience!
