My experience with Thushan and his family was amazing! They are very welcoming and kind, I felt like I was part of the family. I had a lovely time helping with their business, the tasks are not too hard and they guided me well. The food is very good and the house is lovely, with a nice garden and location close to the beach:) Thushan is proposing tours around town and is always happy to share about the country. Would absolutely recommend this volunteering to anyone!
