Pilgrimages, faith and the ignored
In the latest cross production conducted by Internews, journalists from East and South met up in the city of Kataragama, in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. They covered a range of stories including the long pilgrimage that people make on foot to to Kovil, and the annual festivities at the Kovil itself, including the processions.
Journalists also paid a visit to the local villages surrounding Lunugamwehera, and explored the stories of those who have been forgotten and ignored by the central administrative structures, to be retold on Perambara, Local Voices, and Vidivai Nokki.
