Program Details

Hi guys, l'm Thushan from Bentota, Sri Lanka. My hometown is a coastal town which is well known as a tourist attraction with a beautiful beach.

Until January 15th 2024, the volunteer work was about helping to cut fabric and sewing on the sewing machine for our small scale family business, so the reviews before that date were about this kind of help.

As of January 15th, the help needed changes to the following:
- Manage cabana stays: when I’m away, help welcome the guests of the cabanas and show them around. After the guests check out, help tidy the cabanas, change the bedsheets and pillow cases.

Other help is also needed based on your skills:
- Digital marketing: help to promote my business online (cabana stays and motorbike tours), social media, and any creative ideas are welcome
- Gardening: help take care of the garden and keep it nice and tidy

Activities & Shift

In exchange for your help, I can provide you accommodation, you will have your own room in my home. You will also be provided food:
- Breakfast
You can use my kitchen to cook your own food for lunch and dinner.

Other than that, whenever I'm free, l’m more than happy to take you on my motorbike to show you the most attractive places around the town. If you are interested, I can help you to learn our language. Thanks and have a nice day 🙏
