Over coming Obstacles through Travel

 It is a matter of “pulling out all the stops”, as much as possible, so that people with #disabilities can achieve their own goals, reach their own conclusions and get to places that would otherwise be difficult for them to reach.

In short, the goal is to use all the different tools we can find (especially our human resources) to train the brain of people with disabilities in order to overcome any obstacles we encounter along the way. #Travel helps persons with disabilities to achieve their goals.

#Manique Gunaratne gave the opportunity to a group of persons with #Diverse disabilities to visit the #Iranamadu Tank in Kilinochchi in April 2022.

Iranamadu Tank is located in #Northern #Province, Sri Lanka. Iranamadu tank is one of the man-made largest #reservoirs of Sri Lanka. Iranamadu village and tank is belonging to Killinochi District. Iranamadu tank has been a traditional #fishing ground for generations. It is located 8km from the city of Kilinochi. Water reservoir capacity is 131.4mcm. Sri Lanka is a popular #tourist country, Iranamadu tank is a place to be visited on your way to #Jaffna peninsula. #Killinochi district people are facilitated with irrigation services, fishing industry and sanitation services. This is one of the deepest tanks in Sri Lanka.

 #King #dhatusena build Iranamadu tank. another. In 1920 the tank was repaired and reconstructed. People in Killinochi mostly do farming so they are very useful by Iranamadu tank. Iranamadu Irrigation Development Project is a basic part of the arrangement to Jaffna for the passing of water on the one hand and the treatment of the downstream canal system as ordered by the target group population on the other. The choice of the project area is determined by the nature of the Project and it includes Iranamadu irrigation scheme. The tank now allowed for fishing and a project is proposed to extract drinking water from the tank.

 

A group of nine people standing outdoors, posing for a photo. They are standing on a textured pavement with the sea and a cloudy sky in the background. The group includes both men and women, all standing closely together and smiling or looking towards the camera. The clothing styles are a mix of casual and semi-formal, with one woman wearing a patterned sari and another in a red dress with white designs. Some of the men are wearing collared shirts and trousers, while others are in more casual attire. The atmosphere appears cheerful and friendly.

A paved pathway by a body of water at sunset, with a group of people scattered along the path. Some are standing and talking, while others are taking photos. One woman in a red dress with a white design is posing for a photo. The sky is partly cloudy with the sun low, casting a golden glow over everything. There is a small building to the left, and yellow tape lines the path. The area is surrounded by trees and a bridge can be seen in the background. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed.

A woman in a white sari with maroon patterns, standing on a paved road in front of an arched gate. The gate has the text "IRRIGATION DEPARTMENT, NORTHERN PROVINCE" on it. In the background, there's a canal or waterway with a series of barriers or gates, some greenery, and a cow grazing near the water. The sky is partly cloudy with the sun setting, creating a dramatic light effect. The woman is looking slightly off-camera.

Woman in a sari standing outdoors near a riverbank during sunset. She is facing to the right, looking towards the horizon where the sun is partially hidden behind a bank of clouds, casting a warm glow and reflecting on the water. A bridge extends to the left, with railings and lamp posts along its length. The atmosphere feels peaceful, with a mix of clouds and soft, golden light filling the sky. The surroundings are natural with patches of grass and water, giving a serene feel to the overall scene.
