  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Our lives revolve around the ocean. It’s the most beautiful place to be, and is incredibly important to us, as well as being a vital part of the local community. Many of the local families rely on fishing and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to honor that space and to protect it as well as we can, both for ourselves and for everyone that lives here.
  In our community dinners we not only show you foods that you already know, but most importantly let you be a part of the Sri Lankan culture and let you taste the best of our local cuisine.
