Description
Heya! I'm Channuka, a 24 year old local musician who's starting up a new hostel with my best friend. I grew up in south Sri Lanka and wanted to start something that connects people for the longest time. We are just starting up and we need help with any help possible including creating the ambience and all the little details. We currently got 2 paid employees with us to look over the operations. they both overlook cleaning and bookings

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We're setting up a hostel and need creative, hands-on volunteers to help with DIY projects, painting, decorating, and gardening. In return, you'll get free accommodation and plenty of free time to surf, explore, and enjoy the laid-back coastal lifestyle. Be part of building something special from the ground up connect, create, and live the good life in paradise. Also being with the local community will help to exchange cultural values and food.
And we will be interacting with them in person most of the time while sharing cultural values, local experiences, food and everything else
Help
We're in the early stages of setting up a laid-back hostel near the beach and are looking for creative, hands-on volunteers to help with DIY projects, painting, decorating, gardening, and creating cozy lounge areas. If you're enthusiastic, love working with your hands, and want to be part of something from the ground up, we'd love to have you on board! Surf, chill, create, and connect in paradise.

Accommodation
We got Bunk beds for now with private washrooms :)
Of course we would provide shared meals when we work together if not there is an open kitchen in the property where workawayers can use any time when we provide ingredients.
What else ...
In your free time, you can surf, relax on beautiful beaches, explore nearby towns like Weligama and Galle, enjoy local food, take yoga classes, visit tea plantations, or just soak up the laid-back beach vibes. Ahangama is the perfect place to connect, unwind, and get inspired.
