Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
you can experience local live-style and i can teach you how to built cob houses, permaculture, cooking local meals and native techniques. I share all the live-style. Also you will find the true sri Lankans life cycle. there were plenty of streams, water falls, natural pools and villages around.
Help
you can stay here and help me on making cob houses, teaching, landscaping and permaculture gardening. At the same time you can travel with me to explore nature and villages. i stay here mostly full-time with doing creative stuff. you guys can help me to make the change. i just need to help local community by doing the right thing.
i cook my meals in my tiny kitchen and you also can help me on cooking. If any volunteer need some native foods for breakfast, lunch or dinner, there is a system in-pace to get some food from local residents and you can contribute for the meals. Moreover you can use our kitchen for preparing your meals. We mostly cook with fire wood 😌.
You can help me on building cob houses, teaching kids, collecting fire wood for kitchen. Cooking. Growing plants in the garden. Painting on the walls. Those are some things to do here in my villa.
We have a goal to provide people a better living option which can save more trees and nature. Most local people remove all the trees from their lands to cultivate tea and other commercial crops. We wanted to show and educate people on permaculture living and its benefits. There we can reduce the environment impact.
