Laissé par le workawayer (Cheshta) pour l'hôte

If you have reached here, read till end.
This was my first international workaway, I have volunteered fairly in India. It was best to say the least. I cannot describe how beautiful Nisha, her husband Hemant and son Rukshan is. They are the kindest and most non corrupted people I know. They treated me like family or much more than that. Fed me the… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Arthur & Enora) pour l'hôte

Rukshan and his parents kindly picked us up at the bus station. They warmly welcomed us into their home for five days :)

The house is very large and surrounded by a beautiful garden with three adorable dogs. The room is quite comfortable with a single bed and an extra mattress. Expect to hear some outside noise (Buddhist chants outside at 5:30… read more every morning, dogs that may bark since the window overlooks the part of the house where they are kept).

We weren't asked to do any heavy work. We worked for a couple of hours watering the garden and digging a small ditch to drain rainwater from the garden. Nisha looked after us, offering us food and drink approximately every 15 minutes. We spent most of our time with Nisha, who made sure we were well fed (even a little insistently), took us to visit the beautiful tea fields in the surrounding area (during a walk with her husband and their two dogs), and introduced us to a Buddhist monk who lives in the temple a few steps from the house. We even got to join the family on their weekend outing to the Bandarawela shopping center.
Note that the family recently moved to the village and does not seem to have much interaction with the neighborhood.

All meals were provided for us. In the morning, Hemanta (the father) prepared delicious local dishes (lunumiris with rice, pol roti, fish curry, rice curry) for us, thanks to which we were able to learn both the names of the foods in Sinhala and how they were cooked. Hemanta is less comfortable with English, but he makes up for it with his calmness and deep kindness. He is very pleasant to be around :)
Rukshan (the son) is a discreet person (like his father) who is a fountain of knowledge. As you get to know him, you realize that his wealth of knowledge comes from his endless curiosity. It's a real pleasure to talk to him :)

Nisha is a dynamic person who has a lot of knowledge and needs to share it. She is therefore very talkative (in excellent English).
Her way of communicating can be quite controlling (sit down, eat, come, drink, finish that), which sometimes made us feel a little instrumentalized.
Despite this, Nisha is a kind and caring person who always made sure we had everything we needed.

All in all, we had a great time with every member of the family, and it was interesting to live with a local family.

If you're looking for a Workaway where you don't want to sweat too much, but rather talk, eat, visit a Sri Lankan village, and pet cute dogs, this is for you! :)

Arthur and Wendi are very nice and cheerful people. They helped us in the garden and with cooking, and they were also very friendly with our pets. They are responsible, kind, and easy to be around. We had a really great time with them and can definitely recommend them to future hosts

It was an absolute pleasure to host Leonardo! He is a kind, respectful, and genuinely friendly person who quickly became part of our family. From the very beginning, he showed a sincere interest in our culture and daily life, and he was always ready to help with a big smile and positive energy.

Leonardo was a great help in the kitchen and really… read more

I spent a week with Rukshan, Nisha and Hemantha.
It was an incredible experience.

I slept in a really cosy room with plenty of space.
During the day, I helped out in the kitchen and learnt how to cook a lot of Sri Lankan food.
Another enjoyable task was gardening. The garden was full of pretty flowers and beautiful birds.

During the day, the… read more
