“It takes a whole village to raise a child”~Anonymous

Kokkuvil is a small village in Jaffna Peninsula.It is situated 3 miles away from Jaffna town. It has many Hindu temples and thick traditional values are still being followed here.

My recent visits bring back many unforgettable pleasant memories such as Kokkuvilites recognising me first, inviting me for meals, cooking and bringing meals, and taking me to enjoy the festivals.
