How the project came about
An artist named Timothy Senaviratne who experienced the boxing day Tsunami first hand in Unawatuna (Look at www.trfstories.blogspot.com to see his story) has done many projects individually and as a part of other organizations in Unawatuna was taking a walk along the Unawatuna road and saw this wall being rebuilt and thought of doing a Underwater mural on it. After he spoke to the villagers and owners of this wall, together with Timothy and his friends came up with this project with the hope that it will put a ‘smile’ on many faces. So come join us and paint this wall!
