I have had the most amazing time away. Dudley, family and staff were really accommodating and helpful. They wanted any volunteers to be kept safe and feel like they are part of the family. Certain things where good to know for example the safety at night time. As it’s a remote area to be sensible and also that the waves are strong so no swimming at the kosgoda beach. Bentota is like 15 mins on a Tuk Tuk and Dudley can provide with a number of his friend a sensible driver for good prices. There is also a supermarket like 10 mins the opposite direction by Tuk Tuk as it’s not safe to walk on ur own on the main road. Bentota has an incredible river safari and local beach where you can swim, surf and get food. Dudley / his family can offer u tours with there driver to elephant safaris, whale watching, train ride to Ella or anything if u ask patmier in the office. She can help you. With me being fussy with food the family were really helpful to cook foods I will eat and even offered us cooking classes after request! Kande the worker there patromdi there daughter, Dudley and his wife prastasta made every moment special and helped me make the very most of every day of my experience. Whether that be baby releasing, burying eggs, tank cleaning, feeding or watching mother turtles on the beach. I got to teach the cutest children English and climb little Adam’s peak There are friendly stray dogs everywhere that the local restaurants generally feed. So head to the shops and feed these lovely wild dogs if they are friendly to do so. What a fab time x
