Three people who have spent time working in Sri Lanka spend the evening telling of their experiences and tackling your questions.
Tom Gillhespy spent several years working in Sri Lanka for Norwegian People's Aid (NPA), assessing the impact of landmines on conflict affected communities. After four years with NPA, which took him to Mozambique, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Jordan and Cambodia, he returned to the UK to study a Master's in 'Anthropology of Conflict, Violence and Conciliation' at Sussex University. He returned to Sri Lanka in 2007, to manage community led projects on behalf of the UNHCR.
There will also be a Sinhalese and a Tamil speaker; more information as it becomes available.
The speakers will be presenting their experiences with photos.
