'The Gardens' was once a smart quarter of the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
Today it is a decaying slum. This issue of the New Internationalist is
a personal impression of life in this community. It looks at the daily
struggles and frustrations of the people who live there and also at their
efforts - with the help of UNICEF and the Sri Lankan government - to improve
their way of life. Originally this was a report commissioned by UNICEF
from one of the editors of the New Internationalist Peter Adamson. We
publish it here in a format that is unusual for this magazine and we hope
that readers will enjoy this different approach.  |

New Internationalist (NI) workers' co-operative exists to report on issues of world poverty and inequality; to focus attention on the unjust relationship between the powerful and the powerless worldwide; to debate and campaign for the radical changes necessary to meet the basic needs of all; and to bring to life the people, the ideas and the action in the fight for global justice.
