David and Shalomi Kanakaratnam, both 28 years old and recently married, live in Manipay.He works in a hardware shop while she has taught at a Montessori school and gives English language tuition for Grade 5 students.Together they produce wood burning art (pyrography). David’s most amazing skill, in my opinion, is his ability to carve figurines in a single pencil lead.
They would like to open a shop to sell their art, but are worried at taking on the commitment of renting a premises, paying the electricity and water bills, and still making enough to live on.
