Diary

After a long trip from Germany, we arrived safely in Sri Lanka. We were picked up at the airport and drove for about four hours until we finally made it to the Volunteers Village. The place exceeded all our expectations. Not only the house was great, but also the lovely people we were warmly welcomed by. Our room was on the top floor. It was a pretty, simple and clean room, with a big en suite bathroom. The finishing touch was definitely the view from our room.

Since then we have worked and lived here for one week and we are still very fond of this organisation!!!

We have already worked in the Karapitiya Hospital, playing with the children, and also painting one of the units for the premature baby's, which took us three days. Also we helped renovating and reconstructing the English classroom.  We had one cooking-day, where we helped cooking Sri Lankan food for the St. Thomas School and today we went to the Neth Savan Sarana School (adjacent to the Hostel). They had their sports festival where we provided the children with juice, biscuits and fish-bread....
