An experience of a life time in Sri Lanka

September 28, 2019

My girlfriend and I decided months ago that we were going to come to Sri Lanka to do this program. I have a friend who did the same one last year and she told me so many good things about it. From the moment I heard about her experiences in Sri Lanka, I knew it was something I wanted to eventually do too and I made it a goal of mine to go to Sri Lanka.

This month I finally got to achieve that goal and I got to do it with my girlfriend, which made it even better. We had a fantastic time in Sri Lanka. We met so many new friends through our accommodation. We experienced a variety of interesting activities during the introduction week. My favourite was the Buddhist festival that we were lucky enough to see and I also really enjoyed the Batik lesson.

During our week with the monks, we got to know 7 or 8 boys quite well and they were all so kind and so thoughtful. They seemed to really appreciate our lessons and they showed us that by giving us little gifts and showing us how to play their games. They were so much fun to be around and leaving them at the end of the week was tough.

The temple renovation was hard work but it went by quickly and it felt good seeing how much we accomplished at the end of the week. All in all, we had a great time and would love to return again one day.
