සල්ලි දීලා ගත්තේ ආසාවට. . . ඒත් එයා දැන් විඳවනවා. . . ගෙදරිනුත් බැනුම් අහලා මම මානසිකව වැටිලා ඉන්නේ. . . 🙏😭

රුපියල් 20,000ක් දීලා මම මේ ලැබ්‍රඩෝ (Labrador) ගැහැණු සතාව මිලදී ගත්තේ ගොඩක් ආසාවෙන්. විකුණපු කෙනා කිව්වේ පෞද්ගලික ප්‍රශ්නයක් නිසා දෙනවා කියලා. ඒත් ඇත්තටම එයා කරලා තියෙන්නේ ලෙඩ වුණ සතෙක්ව මගේ ඇඟේ ගහපු එකයි. 🐕🥀

ගෙනත් දවස් දෙකක් හොඳට හිටියා. ඊට පස්සේ ඉඳන් මේ සතා පුදුම විඳවීමක් විඳින්නේ. කන කෑම කිසි දෙයක් දිරවන්නේ නෑ. කන බත් බත් පිටින්ම මලපහ එක්ක පිටවෙනවා. දවසට 12-13 වතාවක් මලපහ කරනවා. 🩸

මේ සතාට දැනෙන බඩගින්න කොච්චරද කියනවා නම්, බඩ පැලෙන්න කන්න දුන්නත් මදි. ඒ බඩගින්න දරාගන්න බැරුව පාරේ ඉන්න සත්තුන්ගේ මලපහ වගේම, එයා දාන මලපහ පවා ආපහු කන්න පුරුදු වෙලා. ඒ විතරක් නෙවෙයි වැසිකිළි වලට (Toilets) ඔළුව දාලා වතුර බොන්නත් පෙළඹිලා. 🥺🦠

ගැස්ට්‍රයිටිස් වලට බෙහෙත් ගත්තත් කිසිම සුවයක් නෑ. මේ සතා විඳින දුක බලන් ඉන්න බෑ වගේම, මේ දේවල් නිසා ගෙදර අයගෙනුත් මට ලොකු බලපෑමක් සහ දෝෂාරෝපණ එල්ල වෙනවා. මම දැන් ඉන්නේ ලොකු මානසික පීඩනයක.

මේ ලෙඩේ මොකක්ද කියලා හරි හොයාගෙන, මේ සතාව සනීප කරගන්න මට උදව් කරන්න පුළුවන් කෙනෙක් නැද්ද? මට මේ සතාව අතාරින්න ඕන නෑ, ඒත් තනියම මේක ගොඩදාගන්න මට ශක්තියක් නෑ. 🙏

රවට්ටලා විකුණපු මේ අහිංසකීව සනීප කරගන්න මට පාරක් පෙන්නන්න.

උදව් කරන්න අපහසු නම් මෙය share කරලා හරි මේ ලෙඩේ දන්න වෛද්‍යවරයෙක්ට/කෙනෙක්ට මේ පණිවිඩය දකින්න සලස්වන්න.

New D ceylon branded ' TEA KOLA'

25/10/2025

*First Tea Plant in Sri Lanka

- *Year Introduced:* 1824
- *Brought From:* China
- *Brought By:* The British, to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya
- *Purpose:* Initially planted as an experiment and for botanical interest
- *Significance:* This marked the beginning of tea cultivation in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon)

Later, in the 1860s, tea became a major commercial crop after the collapse of the coffee industry. James Taylor, a Scottish planter, established the first commercial tea plantation in *Loolecondera Estate* in *1867*, near Kandy.

This laid the foundation for Sri Lanka’s world-renowned tea industry.

*The Role of Women in Tea Cultivation*

In Sri Lanka and many tea-producing regions, women play a vital role in the success of tea plantations. From planting and nurturing young tea bushes to hand-plucking tender leaves with precision, women are at the heart of this age-old industry.

Their skilled hands ensure only the finest leaves are selected, which directly impacts the quality of Ceylon Tea—renowned worldwide for its flavor and aroma. Despite the physically demanding nature of their work, these women perform their duties with dedication and grace, often in challenging weather and terrain.

In recent years, there has been a growing appreciation for empowering women in agriculture, providing them with better working conditions, fair wages, and leadership opportunities in the tea sector.

*Key Points:*
- Women make up a large portion of the tea estate workforce.
- Their role is crucial in maintaining quality standards.
- Empowering them strengthens families and local economies.
- Sustainable tea production benefits from gender-inclusive practices.
