Mr. Peter Bennett is a Canadian photographer and a writer who does photo and video documenting for IDRC, in some of their projects. He has been photographing in several Asian countries during the past few months. Ending his tour in Sri Lanka, on 4th April Peter visited the Pathegama village of the Galle district to capture the inside story of the Strengthening Resilience in Tsunami Affected Communities project of Sri Lanka. The main purpose of his photographing tour was to document the different components of the IDRC funded projects in Sri Lanka. He preferred photographing the village in its day to day natural environment, and its cultural habitat. Through his lense he captured incidental photographs of, the Village Information Center, Children’s computer course, village school, village livelihoods, Bio shield plantations, and local village life and culture. The village truely enjoyed Peter’s presence; it was not only a boost of encouragement for the villagers but also a productive day for Peter. Next week Peter will visit SRTAC project sites in Hambantota- and capture few more vital pieces- before he flies back to his long awaiting home.
