Housemaid mum flown back from Kuwait after children abandoned by father View(s):Pix and text by Kanchana Kumara AriyadasaTwo girls who were left alone to live in a ramshackle clay house at Melsiripura in Kurunegala were reunited with their mother on Friday. The two girls were left to fend for themselves after their father left them following their mother’s departure to Kuwait to make some earnings to repair the house in which the children were living in. The mother was identified as Nimali Nilushika who had flown to Kuwait 11 months ago to earn money for her family. However her husband, instead of taking care of the children, had begun drinking and had mistreated and assaulted the children before finally leaving them. In spite of the odds, the two girls stayed at their house without their father.
