Describe your trip

“It was a really interesting experience with Sri Lankan people and Deaf students from school. Some of them taught us basic Sri Lankan sign language like tea, coffee, milk and others. I think it was a worthwhile trip & visiting different places in Sri Lanka like elephant/turtles and cute baby turtles. I didn’t realise Sri Lanka haven’t any equipment or special machines but when I saw people used their own hands to pull in fishing net on boats.”

How did you benefit from the experience?

“Learning about different cultures. I also interested in meeting D/deaf student and staff.”
