Monday, April 27, 2015. April 25: Day 7 - Day Off and MUCH Deserved. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country offering many different options for R R. Here is how our weary and sore workers enjoyed the day. A group headed to the beach and ocean at Palm Paradise – a favourite destinations for TRIP Canada volunteers. It was a glorious day. Richard and Joan went to tea country and were thrilled with the climbing, plantations and magnificent scenery. A wonderful day for everyone. DWC/TRIP Canada Team Leader. April 2...

Monday, January 31, 2011. And then the wheel came off and other adventures… our final days in Sri Lanka. The rest of the team went to the job site to spend a final day trying to finish a few tasks; painting (a lovely Sri Lankan yellow color that is growing on us), bricking two half walls, pouring five more columns…. All was accomplished despite the skies opening up after lunch with a torrential downpour! About 45 minutes into the drive, the wheel came off (literally) one of the vans. The driver got n...

Monday, April 27, 2015. April 24: Day 6 - Tired and Happy. Day four of hard work and our muscles are aching! It’s another sunny hot day here in paradise. We all celebrated Kim’s 25th (? Birthday last night where the staff at the hotel made her a beautiful cake and sang happy birthday with much enthusiasm. Everyone made her feel so special on a day that she was celebrating without any of her family. DWC/TRIP Canada Team Leader. Sri Lanka, April 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Sri Lanka - Last Day: Celebrating Together. The day is hot and beautiful as Team 11 sets out together to inspect all the worksites. For the last 10 days we were divided into three teams rotating daily through all locations so it is very exciting to have a chance to take a good look around and see all that has been accomplished. This site started with a few holes in the ground and it was back breaking work to dig, build a complete foundation and support columns and start to brick th...

Monday, April 27, 2015. April 22: Day 4 - Happy Earth Day! It’s Earth Day and we are working alongside our Sri Lankan colleagues, building a better community. We are divided into three work teams and rotating around three sites. So while we are creating a team identity, we are also sharing stories about all sites. Each of us takes great interest and pride in how all sites are progressing. Team 3 – yes, this team was also parging! Our evening was capped with a perfect dinner on the beach – sand and ...

Friday, October 22, 2010. Tangalle, Sri Lanka: People of Tangalle. Tangalle, Sri Lanka: Continuing to bridge the digital divide. While waving and giving us the brightest smiles. It took all my energy to not reach out and give them group hugs! I will never forget those smiling faces. Most of us take computers for granted in North America, yet here in Sri Lanka, they are over the moon when we bring 1 single computer for a whole school. Tangalle, Sri Lanka: Memories. Tangalle, Sri Lanka: The weekend is over.

Sri Lanka - Developing World Connections: April 23: Day 5 - Hardest Day Yet
http://dwcvolunteersinsrilanka.blogspot.com/2015/04/april-23-day-5-hardest-day-yet.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. April 23: Day 5 - Hardest Day Yet. It seems that many of us felt that this was the most challenging work day yet. Was it because of the crazy hot temperatures or the fact that day 3 fell on hump day? But just for today, there will be no mention of parging or pounding or painting or lifting or measuring or cutting or sanding or sifting or sweeping! Our toughest day so far became one of our best!

Friday, April 27, 2012. April 25: Closing ceremony and a tearful goodbye. It's with a heavy heart, an achy back (from all the hard work) and a sore head (from the arrack - local coconut whiskey), that I write my last blog post. The time has flown by here, as it always seems to, and yesterday was an emotional last day. Sri Lanka, April 2012. Monday, April 23, 2012. April 23: A bizarre bird and bathroom situation, sunburns, and rain can't dampen our spirits. Sri Lanka, April 2011. Thursday, April 19, 2012.
