This young man of 27 is the brother of Geethika, of the Weraduwage family. He did not live with his sister's family, but had a modest herbal massage centre employing two other people.

Prasanna, Ayurvedic Massage Therapist

The establishment consisted of three cabanas, one of which Geeth used as his home - the others were used to offer ayurvedic massage and herbal treatments to tourists.

Before the tsunami his business was doing well - now it has been totally destroyed and all his possessions and business stock were lost.

Remains of the massage shop

He is currently staying with a friend, but faces an uncertain future with no job, no possessions and no business.
