The 16-year-old student, Lashan Nisansala, works as a hired hand or takes care of his family.
Lashan lives in Velkotuwa Road, Pattiwela, Galewela, Ratmalagala.
Today, Lashan's family has to quench their hunger once instead of three.
Lashan, who has restricted his schooling to Grade 10, now has a dream to build a home for his family.
But the biggest challenge Lashan is facing is his three-year-old little sister suffering from kidney disease.
Their economic situation has further deteriorated as they have to take her for treatment once a week.
His mother is very worried about Lashan having to shoulder the burden of his family.
"I cook twice a day. I'll eat heel rice in the morning. I cook at noon and at night. I have to make ends meet bringing my son. These days I'm not working.
The front of Lashan's house has completely collapsed due to the recent torrential rains.
By cultivating a little in the garden, Lashan has managed to feed his brothers.
Lashan, who is not a father but has retained the courage and commitment of a father, commented on his life.
I went to work looking after my two brothers, my sister and my mother. I hope to build a house.
