RCDP- Sri Lanka program has provided me to gather lots of memoirs and wonderful moments in my life. The orientation program was extremely demanding and useful for my stay in Sri Lanka. It is essential to everyone to step in new society and new culture.

I worked in an orphanage project where I got chance to help out Tsunami surviving kids for three months. The time was most astounding in my life. My stay in the project gave me knowledge that one person can make a difference in someone's life. I got a chance to talk with the people who knew about the terrible circumstances of Tsunami. For this I would like to thank to RCDP- Sri Lanka, which has offered me this golden opportunity.

The Sri Lankan are warm, gentle, kind and bighearted people. They are ready to share their home and food with you even they have almost nothing. You also get chance to help out them in personal ways like clothing, furnishing a roof and their some other house works. If you are decided to delve into the program it is sure that you will be satisfied from your projects and families there.

This is my picture, my host father is feeding me a ceremonial food in a neighbor sister' birthday party and they are very welcoming and I got my perfect place to stay. There are other 3 members in the family his wife, daughter and son they always became very nice to me. They used to take to around the local community. It was a great time for me. One day a neighbor invited me for dinner party, it was a birthday of her sister and I was welcomed from them it was an excellent moments.

Every volunteer should be prepared to handle all kinds of environment over there. Though the work is tough but it satisfies you. We have to compromise with different kinds of things like use-shared rooms, use cold water to shower, and adjust you in the limited comforts. So you need to be patient and recognize with the all environment.

I therefore recommend a person who wants to go Sri-lanka to do any kind of work RCDP is the perfect organization.

Cheers!
