I was sitting in the office when the sound of a drum coming up the road got me to go and see what was happening. It was an Alms giving procession, the umberella is sheltering the gifts at the front and the student monks have been arranged in line by height.My Blog, started to record my adventures as I headed off to live and work in Sri Lanka for a couple of years in March 2006. The blog is now a general record of what I am doing, I have also added the VSO process detail from April 2005 for new Volunteers reading it. Please note: the views expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect those of VSO.
