Volunteering with Sujeewa's family at the farm Estate has been a truly wonderful experience. From the very first day, Sujeewa welcomed us with incredible warmth and kindness, making us feel at home right away. We shared unique moments that allowed us to discover and appreciate the richness of the local culture. The estate is a peaceful and quiet place, ideal for disconnecting from the city and enjoying the beauty of nature. During our stay, we helped by taking care of the dogs and supporting the family with whatever they needed. I would highly recommend the experience!

Volunteering with Sujeewa and her family at the farm Estate was an amazing experience. From the start, Sujeewa welcomed us with warmth, making us feel at home. The estate, surrounded by nature, is peaceful and perfect for disconnecting. We helped care for the dogs, who were playful and affectionate, and supported the family in their daily activities. The family was lovely and welcoming. It was a fulfilling experience, and I left with beautiful memories. I highly recommend this program and look forward to coming back someday. Thank you for everything! 💕🫶🏼

I spent two wonderful weeks at Suweeja's home, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience!!. From the very first moment , they made me feel at home, always kind and welcoming. The family and the dogs are truly lovely and generous, sharing not only their home but also their culture and way of life in such as a special way. It has been an unforgettable time, full of unique moments that I will carry with me forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to truly experience the hospitality and heart of Sri Lanka🇱🇰. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️❤️❤️

The farm estate is perfect for escaping the bustle of touristic spots and is perfect if you're a long term traveller needing a bit of peace. Sujeewa was an awesome host he showed us how to make local food and can give recommendations about what to do in all of Sri Lanka. The work mainly consists of taking care of the dogs.
