This adventure taught me an incredible amount, especially about data collection to help animals in the wildlife sanctuary and how to resolve the human elephant conflict. The guide, Ravina, was knowledgeable, patient and empathetic. Her excitement about observing elephants never waned. She explained every step of our mission and answered all questions thoroughly and with a smile. The food that was served at the volunteer house was abundant and delicious, the other volunteers amiable and the location was truly in the wilderness and exemplified the lifestyle of a typical farmer in Sri Lanka. I opted to stay in the hotel nearby for an extra sum and was truly satisfied with the decision because I come from a cooler climate and the scorching days left me dizzy, so going to a hotel with AC made for a truly comfortable experience. Sri Lanka and the project will remain a positive and eye opening experience for me and I recommend the trip to anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of how to preserve wildlife conservation and resolve the human elephant conflict.
