A compilation of different experiences

The volunteering in Sri-Lanka gave me the chance to have different experiences in a relatively short time. Everything was negotiable, in that sence that you could put together your own program beside the fixed hours of the volunteering program. The staff was always ready to help with that. Thus during the programme you get to see Sri-Lanka in many ways. I loved working with the turtles and the elephants. You can get quite close to them and that makes the work more meaningful. Sometimes I felt like there was not enough work for all the volunteers, which resulted in moments of hanging around. But overall the vibe was good.
Regard to housing, for me it was more difficult to adapt to the setting. The house was sometimes to full in my experience (must be different if you are a student ;)). And this could be an age thing but why is there a TV in the middle of the space? Doesn't volunteering in such a beautiful country is an opportunity to have a time off from television? A cozy space outdoor, to sit in the evening is more binding for a group, in my opinion.
Anyway, I loved the way everything else was organised and I want to thank Ash and the staff for
the good care and the great food!
