"Nobody told me how to climb up the walls. On the programme 'Meka puduma lokaya' I saw a person minus the hands showing a particular skill. I felt like keeping my legs little by little and climb up along the wall. That's how I climbed up the wall. I can climb along grills and windows. The sport that I like best is gymnastics. Our school doesn't have the sport of gymnastics. Because of that I ask the Education Minister uncle to find me a school which has this sport", she says.
