2026年、朝は田んぼ、昼は伝統医、夜は子どもたちの先生をする村人がいる2026 — Mornings in the rice field, afternoons as the village doctor, evenings teaching the kids

Weerakkody Rajage Sajith Mahendra Vijithasiri lives in Alabodagama village in Horawadunna, Pannala, in western Sri Lanka. He holds a doctorate in traditional medicine from the Thalagapatha Saradharma Keerthi Traditional Medicine School and works as a traditional physician specializing in arthritis and spinal conditions. In the mornings, he works his own rice paddy; in the evenings, he oversees the village children's studies as a teacher. His home has been converted into a village community center called the Sama Mukthi Freedom Gallery, which since 2015 has also housed the Samamukthi learning center he founded. He is also a published poet, a karate instructor, and takes on carpentry work around the village — known locally as a man who wears many hats at once.
