My Father

My father is a very innecent farmer who lives in rural Mahavilachchiya village. He cultivated paddy in our paddy field and there are many attacks from elephant to our paddy. Since my father went to keep the paddy at night. Also he works hard at Day and night. My fathers faced a greater danger in last year by an elephant attack and yet he is getting medicine.   At last August Tuesday night (2007.08.14) my father went to protect the paddy as his daily activity. Everyday my father leaves home about 8.30PM. There was a very shocked incident had to my father at that day. A team of LTTE has kidnapped my father while he is in our paddy field. My father has noisy and ask other farmers to help him. That incident happened at 10.30PM.
