a complete experience

I stayed in the project for two weeks, and was amazing, is really a very complete experience because you are helping, knowing the culture and also having fun. When you stay here, you stay at the family house which everyone is going to do the best for you to feel like home, they were very worry about me when I was planning my next place to visit since I was traveling alone and I felt that they were my sri lankan family, and the food is sooo good! the best curry I try in all sri lanka.
My favorite part of the day was to go to the river to wash manika and in my finals days also seetha (the elephants), every day I saw a different type of animal specially beautiful birds! I was always prepare to take pictures to them with my camera. And What I really love to do after finishing the daily program was to sit outside and just relax, the nature environment really disconnect you and made me felt very peaceful, also share with the family.
Another thing is that since I was staying for longer, I had the chance to go to kandy for the day and also do a lovely trip to visit sri lankan robin hood village.
Every day you met people from different countries so you can have the chance to meet people and also travel with them! thats was al least my experience that after the volunteer I had the chance to travel with some people I met. Also the staff is very welcoming and nice! I really have a great experience meeting them and knowing them, I can say that now I have also friends in sri lanka :).
Other thing that made this two weeks great, was to go to the english class, you feel great after doing it because you can really tell that for those students is very important to have you there, you are helping them not only in improving their english skills, also they have the chance to know your culture.
So totally I recommend visiting the elephant freedom project, even if it is just for a day, I feel that if I hadn't go there, and I just had travel, I wouldn't had known better real sri lankan culture.
