  Description

  We have a small family run hotel just outside the town of Deniyaya, close to Sinharaja Rainforest. We are a Sri Lankan couple that speak basic English. The hotel has been running for approximately 10 years and we have a large restaurant that is open to the public. Surrounded by tea plantations and overlooking the Gin River it is a tranquil place. This is an area of great natural beauty and tourists come here to go trekking in Sinharaja Rainforest.
  
  We would like a volunteer who can speak English to help with our guests: welcoming them, giving information, answering their questions, explaining the tours.
  
  You will have your own bedroom and bathroom and eat meals with the other staff.
