Informationen

We're giving English classes in Karapityia, Galle.
*️️️️️We're close to the beaches and easy to travel from & to.

The volunteering has two options:
One is taking care of the house, together with our staff being the mother of our home and our doggies:)
The other is helping teaching which requires teaching skills as well as a huge dose of English language knowledge.
You will assist on fixed days & hours in class and help the office girl if/when needed.
Our house is located at the edge of town.
We're looking for some one who's willing to help me taking care of our loving pets * 2 small doggies and keeping the home clean where/when needed.
We are looking for somebody who is willing to stay for a minimum of 3 weeks or more.
When interested in our school & classes there's always the possibility to join the lessons.

There's no work schedule on forehand as we want you & our doggies to be happy whilst staying with us.

Vom Workawayer (Sara) für Host

I had a wonderful month at Marga's place. It's a pity that my visa didn't allow me to stay longer, but I'm sure I'll return at the first opportunity. Marga is incredibly friendly and kind, going above and beyond to make volunteers feel welcome. My best and first Workaway experience was thanks to her amazing hospitality. A little warning for pet… read more

Coming into Galle, my partner and I had been travelling for a long time and found Marga to be very hospitable and candid with the work that we were expected to do and house rules. The location is awesome and there are many little beach towns for you to explore on your time off.

The schedule is relaxed in the morning, giving you time to prepare… read more

It was my first experience with Workaway during two weeks and I get any regrets about my choice.
Marga welcomed me with a smile and kindness. I slept in a comfortable and clean room. Like all her house!
The communication with Marga was good. We both lived together with respect for each other's privacy.

This volunteering was just absolutely amazing. I felt very welcome and Galle was my second home for 6 weeks. I stayed at school, it is actually very nice house and I had my own room or for a couple of days I shared it with other volunteer girl. You have your own kitchen, when you can cook but we had a supper together with Marga and her husband… read more

I stayed with Marga and Erande for 2 weeks in the summer of 2018. It was a shame that I didn't have more time, that was the reason why I could only stay 2 weeks ;) This was my first workaway experience and it was a very good one! Marga and Eranda made me feel really welcome and I immediately felt at home. I stayed in the school, which is basically… read more your own little house. I shared the room with another workawayer. So you have your room, a bathroom, a kitchen and the living room/classroom. Off course one of your tasks is to keep the house clean. You don't have to worry about food. Marga and Eranda will always make sure that there will be fresh fruits and everything else you need for you!
The house of Marga and Eranda is closeby, on the other side of the road so you can easily come by with questions or we had dinner together. Or just having a nice chat.
You can even spot some nice wildlife around the house, there are monkeys on the roof, lizards in the street. The real Sri Lankan experience! :)

My tasks were taking care of the guesthouse, taking care of the two dogs and helping a little bit with the English classes. I had a lot of free time. Marga is the sweetest and she is constantly worrying if you will enjoy yourself and if everyone has the time and opportunity to travel around and explore the area. So she will definitely make sure that you enjoy Galle and surroundings! There are bicycles available and you can easily grab a tuktuk from the house into town. The school is 15 min cycling from Galle Fort. Marga and Eranda helped me with renting a scooter for a very good price, so I could easily go around :)
I was a host for the guesthouse, so when the guest arrive show them around and make sure they have everything they need. In the morning I helped preparing breakfast and gave tips about what to do in the area.
The dogs are funny, both have their own personality but you will get to know them and how the handle them. Taking care of them means preparing their food, walking and washing the dogs. And off course chilling on the couch with 2 dogs sleeping on you belly ;)
I'm not a teacher but I loved to help with the classes, especially the little kiddies are incredible cute and really eager to learn. Marga is a good teacher! It is definitely nice to help out with the lessons, or practicing English with the kids and teens.
Marga went on a holiday for the last week but when she called we could easily chat for an hour. Me and the workaway girl made jokes that she was like a mom. And she really was, taking good care of us :)

Thankyou so much Marga and Eranda for letting me stay with you for 2 weeks. I enjoyed it a lot and I felt really comfortable and welcome, if I come back to Sri Lanka, off course I will come by!
For next workawayers, you will have a great time here, I'm sure about it ! :)

Mimi was a brilliant volunteer for us, she knows her strengths and weaknesses well but is not afraid of trying new things and pushing herself, which is really good to be around. She helped out massively throughout her 5 weeks here, and I was always more concerned that if left unsupervised she'd do too much work rather than too little - thanks for… read more

I volunteered in Galle for 5 weeks in August. It was my first work-away experience and I enjoyed it a lot!

This is a really nice place to work. Marga and Eranda are super friendly and helpful.
We didn’t have a fix work schedule and me together with the other volonteer were basically running the guesthouse by our own.
Certain days a week I was helping out in the class, what is a great local experience!
I would definitely recommend this workaway.

A very nice workaway.
You will be pretty indipendent here, times are flexible and you will basically run your own guesthouse.
Marga and Eranda are really supportive and attentive and always willing to help in case of need.
I felt so at home here :) especially with the puppys Luna and Mr Macho.

Niels was kind and seemed very motivated and trustworthy...... BUT on the day of arrival while we were waiting for him he just sent a message saying that he was staying at his current holiday place and wasn't coming...... we were very very disappointed and he gave us a lot of problems so think twice before counting on this person!

From before I even arrived in Sri Lanka, Marga and Erunda made me feel welcomed, made sure I knew what to expect from staying with them and helped me get all the relevant information before hand. I stayed with them for 1 month, helping out at their guest house; which is a lovely, stylish place just outside the fort.
