Civil War in Sri Lanka

Hi folks,

It is crazy to think that on this tropical island there is a civil war. The people I am with and the locals that I have gotten to know are all kind beautiful people but not too far away people are killing one another. The violence has sparked in the last month or so and we will definitely keep a watch on things. I am very happy that I am living at this yoga center and not just wondering around the country. Life here for the local people is difficult too. Inflation has gone up a lot because of the war......the price of goods has risen more than 30% in the past couple weeks. There is tremendous poverty and most families are living on less than $2 a day I was told. Very sobering. This is the exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in time. May you and all the Sri Lanka people have a peaceful day. Much Love, Jacob
