And another conversation with the kids I overheard: When one of them said something like “The moslems are trying to destroy Sri Lanka” she was immediately corrected by her parents. “It is not the moslems” they said. “It is some extremist. You know that we have moslems as friends, they don’t want to hurt anybody”.
If kids are raised like this, maybe there is hope?

Hi, Anja – yes, the parents play the most important role in teaching a child. Bravo to your friends! I don’t have time to read the article now, but will do it later. So many last minute things to do! Filakia! Joanne Stournara
