Nisa, Malik, Meli and grandma, an extraordinary family who made sure i have a great stay, gave me tons of advice and tips about sri lanka and what should i do, how to get to places and made me EAT EAT EAT a lot of delicious food! The kids were really cute, a but tiring sometimes but it was just a few hour a day so it was ok! I got to wear saris, learn traditional dances and experience the culture! 100% recommend!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I cannot recommend it enough! The food was amazing, and Nisa and her family are so helpful in traveling tips and telling you about Sri Lankan culture. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were safe and comfortable, and they were kind enough to be flexible and accommodating with their plans for everyone. They truly create a family environment for all the volunteers

Nisa, Malik, Melina, Grandma and their pets Mashi & Molly are absolute gems! You feel right at home with their warmth, the sri lankan food & cooking sessions, and ofcourse the kids at the school. The kids are between the age of 3 and 7, and will get friendly with you before yoy know it! Your day starts at 7:30 and ends by 13/13:30- you assist teachers in the classroom, and after to prepare for the next day. Then you also get to help out in the kitchen for dinner, which us super fun as you learn so much :)

Volunteering was super fun! The teachers are passionate. The kids are sweet, it can take energy sometimes but it's all worth it! The best thing was living together with the family. We had so many great conversations, a lot of laughter, cooked together, played card games. Even in my spare time, they were always there for me when I had some challenges. I am grateful for this experience 🥰 Warning!!! If you are from the Netherlands, you will probably have to bring lots of stroopwafels and speculoos. There is no wifi, but there is signal. Lots of love, Julia 🫶🏼

I had an absolutely fantastic first Worldpackers experience staying with Nisa, Malik, and Melina! From the moment I arrived, they made me feel incredibly welcome. Their warmth and hospitality truly made it feel like home. I had the opportunity to volunteer at their school, which was an enriching and rewarding experience. I assisted in various activities, such as supporting the children with workbooks and crafts. Nisa, Malik, and Melina were wonderful hosts, always supportive and attentive, and helped organise trips during free time. An experience I will treasure for a lifetime!
