Description
Hello I'm Lara, a 24 years old italian girl.
I started volunteering when I was 18 to pursue my thirst for adventure and knowledge. I have always been fascinated by exploring new cultures and interacting with people from traditions different from mine.
I am a photographer and my goal is to immerse myself 100% in the situations I experience and then be able to tell with my shots the beauty of the encounter with traditions and customs different from mine.
I am a sunny, curious and friendly person. I hope that this experience with workaway will allow me to add something positive to the people I will meet and to create a mutual exchange of experiences.

I stayed for 3 months and it was a mind blowing experience. It was my first workaway experience so i didnt really know what to expect but that months were some of the best in my life.
Around the structure there is a small village and a big forest area with an amazing lake so be aware that outside the campus there are no tourist places or places to… read more meet other foreigners.
Having said that the staff members immediately did everything to welcome me in the best possible way and during my stay i never felt alone even once. I had an amazing time with them and im so happy to be able to call them my friends now.
Wasala is very busy with the lessons but he's alway ready to help u and also is his wife Iresha miss. During my stay he found time to do a trip together, we went outside serching for elephants and it was a really funny and definitly uncommon experience as was the local party we attended my last nigh there.
You'll have a room for you inside the campus with a private bathroom and 3 meals per day. Even though the surrounding area is beautiful the school is still under construction so you have to adapt, don't expect a hotel room after all, it's still a school ahahaha. For this reason and also to be able to follow the students' path i suggest you to have a month's stay here so u'll have the necessary time to adapt and to interact properly with the students (the fisrt week they are not able to speack english so u cannot really speak with them). Every batch has a different age group and also different amount of students, they can have from around 70 students up to around 300 or more and you task is basically speak with them during they free time and help the teachers to interview them during the last week. The last day there is a function organized by the student which took me back to my high school days and where I always had a lot of fun. As i wrote before i created a deep bound with the stuff members and we spent a lot of time together but if the batch is big of course they're really busy so i suggest to bring with you a tablet/book/laptop to pass the time.

Thank u Wasala for the experience there, it was a really great time
Thank u staff guys for the affection u gave me
A shoutout to Sangheeth for all the moments we shared together and to Nilmini and Azeema whos are some of the most loving people I have ever met, it was an endless moment of crying when we had to say goodbye
Wish u alla the best for the future
