Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Here is the caption for this week's featured photograph, located on the group's splash page, just below the current Khadgamala Devi: / ***** A Sri Lankan orphan Tamil girl waits for her teacher to arrive at a school run by the Tamil Tiger rebels for children whose parents were killed in the war against the Sri Lankan government, in Kilinochchi, Sri Lanka, Thursday, June 22, 2006. Discrimination against Sri Lanka's 3.2 million largely Hindu Tamils led the Tigers to take up arms in 1983. The spark was anti-Tamil riots, and the resulting war on this tropical island of 19 million people, nearly three-quarters of them Sinhalese, left more than 65,000 people dead before a 2002 cease-fire.
