Highlights

Sri Lanka is a small island, off the coast of southern India. According to local legend, the mainland mourned the loss off this beautiful island so much that it took on the shape of a tear drop. With its unique natural environment we can understand why this legend as survived. Although it is a small country, help is required and Helping Hand Community can assist in organising volunteer work. Volunteer work can offer a unique way to experience the culture while making a meaningful contribution.
