It has something to do with an “A”, and with children like little Ravindran, who is trying so hard to make that sound, “A”. A as in Amma, that means “mother”. It will take weeks before Ravindran can say “Amma”, but each new word is a step along the path that leads him out of the world of silence with its hermetic seal. Ravindran attends a school for the Deaf, whose teachers are paid by SEED, the organization founded by Singham after his return. The acronym stands for “Social, Economic, and Ecological Developers”. In Vavuniya, a small city 250 kilometers north of the capital city Colombo, there are already 40 employees and 20 volunteers at work.
