We already are living halfway 2019 and there is plenty to report. Most striking last half year were the cruel bomb blasts on Easter Sunday. It happened just at the moment Sieni was visiting the country. Fortunately, our Sri Lankan friends were not affected, however this event has a serious impact on the whole country.
