Rangit Liyanage is 31 yrs old and from Kunaragala in the centre of Sri Lanka. He is not yet married and came to Matara 6 months ago to assist in rebuilding following the Tsunami. He started as an assistant mason but with his months of experience he is now considered an experienced mason in the ITDG team. 'We have completed 15 houses so far and our target is 100 by end of December but it is slow because getting the land is difficult'. The three houses on this plot are all about 200 meters from the sea shore which means each family is still near to, or in some cases, on the same site as their original home.
