The best time of my life! I stayed in Kosgoda, Sri Lanka, and attended the Sea Turtle Conservation Project. Not just the work with these enchanting animals was what made this trip the most amazing. Experiencing the culture and lifestyle, as well as the daily chores of the people working at the project, and of course the unbelievable feeling of releasing hatchlings into the Indian Ocean or watching them grow at the hatchery! The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can’t even put into words how many wonderful and breathtaking moments I have been able to experience because of this volunteering. The organisation on site and before departing from home was great. Whoever wants to take a break from the monotonous routine at home should definitely consider to take a chance in Sri Lanka. You have very good working times, that are also negotiable and lots of time to see the country’s most beautiful sights! I can only recommend this project! Anyone who is willing to get there hands a little dirty and wants to be part of protecting these special creatures should consider joining the project!
