Greetings from the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA! I just love how we all gather in these comments sections to share love from around the world! Especially during COVID when we are all stuck inside, at least we can “travel” the world for free from our living rooms and still connect with each other thanks to RUclips. Sending much love to my Sri Lankan friends! 😁❤️
I have met many Sri Lankans working in Greece and on Greek ships. Beautiful, kind-hearted, and generous people. Truly, salt of the earth. Friendly greetings from Greece!
So much happy to hear that buddy. We have a Buddhist culture. Buddhism have created us gently. Come to see my motherland oneday. We are bound to help you....
I've been to Sri Lanka this year, really enjoyed that trip, visited dozen of exciting places including some of the shown in this documentary. Great experience, great people, great country !
Hi @Иван Доценко, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. We're glad you liked the documentary and are happy it brought back some good memories of your trip. Best, The DW Documentary Team
Sri Lanka was the first country that my girlfriend and I traveled to and it is the reason we travel as much as possible now I think it will always be my favourite country because it was the place that opened our eyes to the fact that the world is full of different and wonderful cultures.
Sri Lanka is such a beautiful island. I am glad that the civil war has ended in 2009, and now this island nation can live in a democratic peaceful life. Let this wonderful nation thrive.
I've been in Sri Lanka 2 years ago. I didn't want to go there because I thought it was a dirty place to visit. I was so pleasantly surprised. Beautiful country, very clean and wonderful people. I'm so happy I went there. I would like to go to Sri Lanka again one day. Gorgeous country. All the best to all Sri Lankans. Greetings from Canada.
Many people believe that Sri Lanka is a dirty place with environment pollution like the other south asian nations... but it's wrong... as you could see... We maintain our environment with a very disciplined ways... Colombo is known as one of the greenest and cleanest cities in Asian.... The reason for it is our people are educated...
@@LankanIan choose words wisely bro you can't say dirty to a country we as a asian know how dirty wsetern culture is its better to live in countries like sri lanka ,india, china,japan thanwestern countries ,we may not be rich in infrastructure but our culture is rich .and western ruining our culture
I've been living in Sri Lanka for five years. I am an immigrant of Afghanistan here . I've been living as a refugee status since 16th August 2015 , And you just made me remember how beautiful this country. Actually is, It even me emotional . Dear all wish me I'll be able to go back to my country i miss my family and my relatives 😢. Thanks for sharing this video.. God bless you..
Ancient Lanka was part of Lemuria before the great flood thAt sent most of it into the sea. Survivors from Lanka were the beginning point for all who have lived during this current Epoch. Lanka is the home of many with many of her secrets still encoded in their native language Tamil.
All I know about Sri Lanka is that its an underrated place which is a hidden beauty. It has one of the most beautiful scenery and landscapes. Much love from Pakistan
Thank you so very much for such an entertaining and educational railway video from beautiful Sri Lanka. I am a 75 year old chap born and raised in Australia. I love trains, and I love visiting other countries. I visit now through RUclips channels because of my advancing years. I will view this video over and over again. Sri Lanka is so inviting. I determine to get there in my lifetime!

I've been there in July 2019.Being a 9-day-long journey as a gift for my 28th birthday to myself, everything was just wonderful and was way out of my expectation! Friendly people ,the Nature ,the food,the atmosphere and so much other amazing things there in Sri Lanka.I appreciate that I have had made a good way and an unforgettable country to celebrate my 28 year-old birthday!Must be there again after the storm of covid19,I love Sri Lanka!
Great doc. Went to Sri Lanka back in 2016 and did this very tour by train. On first part, to Kandy, I went first class and it was OK. Second part, from Kandy to Ella, I went third class. In doing so, I was able to perch myself in one of the open doors. Got some of the most beautiful pictures doing this. Being able to lean out, while going over bridges and gorges and steep angles mountainsides was thrilling and highly recommended. Beautiful scenery and people.
I'm old enough to remember when you could do that here in the States. I miss that, glad you were able to experience it. Adding it to my bucket list now.
Sri Lanka is the most amazing country to visit. Loved playing with little elephants last December. Best is Whale watching 🐳 in Mirissa. Love from India 🇮🇳 🇱🇰

I have been there 3 times and I still love my motherland and its gentle people and the beautiful scenery.God bless the people and the country and all politicians in SL take responsibility so that you all Sri Lankan’s can benefit not just the previled upper class.

My first visit to Sri Lanka was in 2006 with a tour package from Aitkens Spence tour company in Colombo. I was so happy I did that visit since then I became a regular visitor to beautiful Sri Lanka.. I traveled by train and bus all over the country...beautiful simple friendly and happy.
@Dust storm C0Ming Mind your own business Indian. We Srilankan love and respect China and Chinese people. And thank you china we remember, we remember who help us in our darkest time. As a Sri Lankan, we're grateful. I saw lots of respectful grate Indians in this comment section. But Indians like you give a bad name to India.
Dengs Do you approve Duterte? Do you approve his foul mouthing and vigilantism? In case you love Duterte and his style, no wonder you will forget the Genocide in Sri Lanka and it's true colours.
Me and my wife are blessed to have travelled in that train that goes from Colombo to Kandy ...all i can say is WoW we really enjoyed our trip to this beautifull place and the people there are js amazing💥💥💥💥💥🇦🇪🇿🇼
I love Sri Lanka, such a beautiful country. I am heading to Sri Lanka again next week. There are so many places in the world to visit, but Sri Lanka deserves a second look.
I was in Sri Lanka in Jan 2020 and took the train up to Kandy. The small, boutique was on a hill and every morning I watched big flocks of birds fly down the canyon and back in the evening. The train ride was so beautiful I asked for the panorama windows in the front of the train on the way back. Absolutely worth it. I'd planned to go to further north but then - - covid.
I visited srilanka this year just before the global lockdown due to pandemic. And Srilanka is a beautiful country. Citizens are hardworking, aware and good. I love the beauty of Srilanka so much. I wish I were there after my retirement.
I recently took the train across Sri Lanka and it was breathtaking! Thank you for doing such an amazing work capturing the experience, watching this took me back. Such a lovely, green and friendly country
No open sewage, no litters, no garbage dumps, train's on time,clean roads, no overcramping passengers in train cabins ...truly amazed 😍 Watching from India
3 Years Back, Got a chance to visit Sri Lanka, its still in my memories. Such a lovely place and Very Friendly People I have ever met on earth. Must Watch Place Nooralia
Man, this place is so good, i might plan to go their next year, they're really sweet people. Train journeys are the best, cheap and the most picturesque. 🇱🇰❤🇮🇳
We had a month traveling around Sri Lanka by train and bus, it's a beautiful country. The hill country is stunning. I even found Jaffna a very interesting, educational city. Whenever I watch this video , which happens to be quite a few times I really want to revisit the Tear Drop of India.
Feeling very emotioned watching these wonderful images . I feel very identify with this country that looks so simple , cool ... I would like to visit there someday . Thanks a lot for share it . Great job . Congrattulations and greetings from Brazil .
I am sri Lankan though I have never experienced such an amazing experience in my life. Thank you for sharing this lovely journey with us. this video proved how much beautiful and amazing our motherland ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful country to see in the globe. Beautiful climate,Natural forests, Harbars, Botanical gardens, Wonderful Seacoasts, Tea and coffee Gardens are invited us for greatfull graceful atmosphere.
sravani pvn Wow. Haven't your read news about those innocent Buddhist souls during 2008 - 2009?? Does the word Genocide ring any Bell?? Bodu Bala Sena?? Heard about those innocent souls?
A A hey listen I know im one year late but during the civil war I lived here.there was a time in which parents didn't leave the house together becoz they didn’t know when LTT will throw the next bomb.they even tried bombing Buddhist schl with thousands of innocent students.just don't talk about things you don't know.
@@AA-jj8bg Be it Sinhala,Tamil,Muslim or other ethnic group, any armed gang who will go against the state killing innocents will be dealt by the Government. Because all the Sri Lankans want to live in peace and harmony.
Any religion,ethnic group or extremist crowd or people espousing hate ,violence & murder against others have their leaders to be blamed. Much of atrocities and genocides committed are the result of their leaders malicious design & thinking . Therefore choose your leaders -President,Prime Minister ,Imam,Guru,Chairman,King or Pope wisely ! Aggressive,arrogant and cruel leaders and rulers needed to have their heads chopped off by and for the good of the people like what France did to their capricious rulers centuries ago !
its so beautiful , never imagined Sri Lanka is so amazing , I hope they still maintain the beauty of their railway network. I t feels like my next trip is to Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the cleanest country in South Asia no doubt about that and you don't need so much of money to visit this beautiful island 😃 Proud Sri Lankan 🇱🇰
Excellent video by DW Documentaries on Sri Lanka and it's friendly, industrious and peace-loving people ! Inevitably,Sri Lanka would become economically prosperous nation .Let's hope the country will be able to maintain its great culture and tradition on its path to modernisation and socio-economic upliftments and equality for all Sri Lankans. Thank you very much to DW for this quality video upload and more success to your company !
Amazing camera work and variety of angles in capturing the Train,a very well compiled journey and local footage's . Keep up the great team work. Loved the video and music.
When I was in Saudi Arabia I have many Sri Lankan friends they're very friendly and polite by nature 🙂 Sri Lanka is beautiful country Love and respect from Pakistan
this is second time I am giving my comments on this video clip. Here in Vienna, Corona-quarantine.. Once It is removed, I will be immediately move to Delhi my Home Town. Then sure to Sri Lanka. I live in Europe. People here say Indians are very friendly. Though I am Indian but partial agree. Let one should visit Sri Lanka and experience how god had made them so cordial, satisfied and friendly. Though I own 3 Houses. I one in Delhi, One in Lower Austria.One is Ternopil(Ukrine). But after pension I wish to settle down in this Island till God calls me back.
Paul...we were one of the greatest countries on earth before we were colonised.... unfortunately we are one of the uncivilised nations on earth today...
So proud to be a Sri Lankan, thanks a lot for the fantastic documentary. Overwhelmed by the comments below by the kind human beings. Means a lot. So happy for you. We will always treat you better. Delighted to welcome you all again 😊 Peace!!!
Hello....as a SRI LANKAN....i really wants to thank DW TV documentary its a was wonderful video...about my country SRI LANKA...and the railway tracks journey...i was used to travel from MATARA ( south of the island) to KANDY by train every weekend for my hotel school course, from this video its brought back my old memories after 16 years later...😍😍😍😍😍 thank you DW ....and welcome to SRI LANKA.....
I think, we may have to add Sri Lanka to our Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia tour this November. I had a few FB friends from there - great people, I might add - who's been goading me to visit. As usual, great docu from DW. Much respect, from the Philippines.
Found one of the best and appealing documentaries about my country nicely done. found this while on qurantine Apr 2020 thanks youtube for recommending this...
A beautiful country of wonderful landscape mountains amazing water falls .indeed a very clean island beautiful beaches. just return home after a week of holiday in this beautiful island. many waterfalls which is made easier access for mankind to explore and enjoy the wonderful bath at the falls. well kept,clean.and amazing people. India Indonesia and many 3rd world countries need to learn from Sri Lanka in keeping public places clean. not even Malaysia is as clean as Sri Lanka..just not happy with the food from hotel and restaurant, maybe they can do better in this sector. other than that it's beautiful and amazing place to visit .in case you're travelling to this island don't forget to pack up some packets drink and biscuits our guide was wonderful person. very knowledgeable and speak good English..thanks Sri Lanka a wonderful island. 😘.
Proud to be a Sri Lankan & very happy that my country is so so beautiful.. Thanks also for the fantastic video & making my country to be more attractive to the world
Lived my life in Tamilnadu of India and so close to srilanka, yet i could never visit..Hope one day I would soon...Thanks for the awesome documentary!!
I feel sorry for the tea estate workers they have no choices in life, with their little income they have to look after their family and to educate their children. Though the estate owners says they have everything free( education, medical facilities) that’s not true. So, we decided to educate few children’s in Badulla buying them shoes, bags and stationeries and sending winter clothes from abroad. Hoping one day these kids will look after their families and help their communities. we haven’t met anyone personally we made a contact with a nice gentleman we are helping through him. We want to visit them personally when the pandemic over maybe next year hopefully.
My late father was the Deputy Superintendent of the Railways before we left for Australia. He would be so proud to see this film.

BEAUTIFUL FILM, THANKS, SRI LANKA IS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, PEOPLE'S ARE VERY KIND AND GREAT
My first visit to Sri Lanka was in 2006 with a tour package from Aitkens Spence tour company in Colombo. I was so happy I did that visit since then I became a regular visitor to beautiful Sri Lanka.. I traveled by train and bus all over the country...beautiful simple friendly and happy.
I love Srilankan people
Love from India
Buddha connects us ......welcome in India

Love Sri Lanka from China. I'll visit this beautiful country one day.
Welcome you brother to our beautiful country
@Dust storm C0Ming im sure...you are not a sri lanka🤔
@Dust storm C0Ming seems like you are an indian
@Dust storm C0Ming Mind your own business Indian. We Srilankan love and respect China and Chinese people. And thank you china we remember, we remember who help us in our darkest time. As a Sri Lankan, we're grateful. I saw lots of respectful grate Indians in this comment section. But Indians like you give a bad name to India.
Please no more corona already we tired
I visited Sri Lanka last year. The people are friendly and helpful. The country I want to go back again! Love from the Philippines
Dengs Do you approve Duterte? Do you approve his foul mouthing and vigilantism? In case you love Duterte and his style, no wonder you will forget the Genocide in Sri Lanka and it's true colours.
Dengs about how much po inabot ng nagastos nyo maam? I'm planning to have an international travel this year. Salamat po. 😊
Dengs hi! Bae... kamusta nag ikaw??? Loves too from srilanka
Wow! Philippines and Sri Lanka will be soon part of China. Haha! Poor people of having no future.
@@121SeedDestiny121 yes very correct good luck
I spent 2 months in Sri Lanka in 97. Was a wonderful time staying with friends also touring around.

I love Sri Lanka, such a beautiful country. I am heading to Sri Lanka again next week. There are so many places in the world to visit, but Sri Lanka deserves a second look.
I'm from Sri Lanka. It's so nice to hear how you like travelling here.

I was in Sri Lanka in Jan 2020 and took the train up to Kandy. The small, boutique was on a hill and every morning I watched big flocks of birds fly down the canyon and back in the evening. The train ride was so beautiful I asked for the panorama windows in the front of the train on the way back. Absolutely worth it. I'd planned to go to further north but then - - covid.
I love this BGM and natural SRI LANKA🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 .love it from INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I am Indian and reside in Austria. I had been to Srilanka since my childhood. Srilankans are very kind people.
Becuase of Buddhisum
Great documentary! Looks absolutely beautiful.. Sending love from Seattle, USA
Hope to see u in here one day 🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
kind-hearted, and generous people.A lot of love and prayers for the Sirilankns
I visited srilanka this year just before the global lockdown due to pandemic. And Srilanka is a beautiful country. Citizens are hardworking, aware and good. I love the beauty of Srilanka so much. I wish I were there after my retirement.
Yes. That moment when you're watching a documentary about your own country. 🇱🇰
Wow😍sri lanka is so beautiful Love from Germany❤️
Welcome
I recently took the train across Sri Lanka and it was breathtaking! Thank you for doing such an amazing work capturing the experience, watching this took me back. Such a lovely, green and friendly country
These people are very lucky to live in this all green area. Anywhere else you would have to be a millionaire to live in a place like this.
No open sewage, no litters, no garbage dumps, train's on time,clean roads, no overcramping passengers in train cabins ...truly amazed 😍
Watching from India
Congratulations for your national holiday on 4th February Sri Lanka from your friends in Germany
That's today . Thanks for your words❤️
3 Years Back, Got a chance to visit Sri Lanka, its still in my memories.
Such a lovely place and Very Friendly People I have ever met on earth.
Must Watch Place Nooralia
I think you meant Nuwara Eliya, the hill station.
Really loved this documentary, I like Sri Lankan people,very warm and friendly.
Man, this place is so good, i might plan to go their next year, they're really sweet people. Train journeys are the best, cheap and the most picturesque. 🇱🇰❤🇮🇳
Did you make it?
Thanks
I would like to visit your country one day, I met somebody from this place, they are so lovely, beautiful place, love from Honduras 😍

Alberta bound 😌
Greetings from Sri Lanka bro
Yea yea greenery every where
Visit the place and see for yourself
We had a month traveling around Sri Lanka by train and bus, it's a beautiful country. The hill country is stunning. I even found Jaffna a very interesting, educational city. Whenever I watch this video , which happens to be quite a few times I really want to revisit the Tear Drop of India.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM SIR MAY I ASK?
Everything was looking good until you said "Pearl of INDIA"??
Its Pearl of Southeast Asia
Not `Pearl of India' but 'PEARL OF THE INDIAN OCEAN'...
You must mean, "Pearl of the Indian Ocean."
Feeling very emotioned watching these wonderful images . I feel very identify with this country that looks so simple , cool ... I would like to visit there someday . Thanks a lot for share it . Great job . Congrattulations and greetings from Brazil .
Being an indian railfan, i literally loved sri lankan railways. 🔥🔥
I am sri Lankan though I have never experienced such an amazing experience in my life. Thank you for sharing this lovely journey with us. this video proved how much beautiful and amazing our motherland ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful country to see in the globe. Beautiful climate,Natural forests, Harbars, Botanical gardens, Wonderful Seacoasts, Tea and coffee Gardens are invited us for greatfull graceful atmosphere.
Thanks! Sir Love and appreciation from Srilanka 🙏
Makes me nostalgic for Sri Lanka. ..paradise in 1979
Such innocent souls...loved the purity in them...i worked with some of them....love from india!!!
sravani pvn Wow. Haven't your read news about those innocent Buddhist souls during 2008 - 2009?? Does the word Genocide ring any Bell?? Bodu Bala Sena?? Heard about those innocent souls?
But i don't like indians ...lol...
A A hey listen I know im one year late but during the civil war I lived here.there was a time in which parents didn't leave the house together becoz they didn’t know when LTT will throw the next bomb.they even tried bombing Buddhist schl with thousands of innocent students.just don't talk about things you don't know.
@@AA-jj8bg Be it Sinhala,Tamil,Muslim or other ethnic group, any armed gang who will go against the state killing innocents will be dealt by the Government. Because all the Sri Lankans want to live in peace and harmony.
Any religion,ethnic group or extremist crowd or people espousing hate ,violence & murder against others have their leaders to be blamed. Much of atrocities and genocides committed are the result of their leaders malicious design & thinking . Therefore choose your leaders -President,Prime Minister ,Imam,Guru,Chairman,King or Pope wisely ! Aggressive,arrogant and cruel leaders and rulers needed to have their heads chopped off by and for the good of the people like what France did to their capricious rulers centuries ago !
I can't stop watching these amazing documentaries. Im binging my way to an intervention. Thank you for all the quality entertainment.
Want to visit Sri Langka someday..greeting from Indonesia.
Hi brother you always welcome
I am Nepali but I like srilanka & there culture .
I'm Sri lankan but i love Nepal and Nepali people
its so beautiful , never imagined Sri Lanka is so amazing , I hope they still maintain the beauty of their railway network. I t feels like my next trip is to Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the cleanest country in South Asia no doubt about that and you don't need so much of money to visit this beautiful island 😃
Proud Sri Lankan 🇱🇰
Lol bhutan cleanest and cleanest village in Asia in india
Are you kiding me 😂😂😂
Bhutan is the cleanest
@@keralanaturelover196 Sorry what.? Asia in India ? LOL
@@deepblue3682 no
I am at home because of lockdown and I am loving to watch this documentary 😍👌
Excellent video by DW Documentaries on Sri Lanka and it's friendly, industrious and peace-loving people ! Inevitably,Sri Lanka would become economically prosperous nation .Let's hope the country will be able to maintain its great culture and tradition on its path to modernisation and socio-economic upliftments and equality for all Sri Lankans. Thank you very much to DW for this quality video upload and more success to your company !
Nice country-have visited 3 times. Very lush and green especially in the Highlands. Recommend 'Little England' and Mirissa on the South Coast.

The token way may seem old fashioned but it's very effective... Sri Lanka a beautiful place to be...
The whole documentary is very appealing, I had immediately booked the flight tickets on Sep 28th 2019 to Colombo after watching this video.
Have a safe journey. Enjoy your stay here in Sri Lanka.
Hope your visit ! Welcome to our country🙏
How was your trip...
Hope you saw every nook and cranny in the island and the stuff thats under the surface
When I was in Saudi Arabia I have many Sri Lankan friends they're very friendly and polite by nature 🙂
Sri Lanka is beautiful country
Love and respect from Pakistan
this is second time I am giving my comments on this video clip. Here in Vienna, Corona-quarantine.. Once It is removed, I will be immediately move to Delhi my Home Town. Then sure to Sri Lanka. I live in Europe. People here say Indians are very friendly. Though I am Indian but partial agree. Let one should visit Sri Lanka and experience how god had made them so cordial, satisfied and friendly. Though I own 3 Houses. I one in Delhi, One in Lower Austria.One is Ternopil(Ukrine). But after pension I wish to settle down in this Island till God calls me back.
Ur welcome here
I advice you to wait a bit longer after the quarantine is over
my dream place also.being from the philippines wish i can visit this place being a 52 single man.
❤❤❤ touch comment
Welcome to Sri Lanka! GOD Bless you brother.
From my observation Sri Lanka is of age and becoming the great cities among the Asian giants
Paul...we were one of the greatest countries on earth before we were colonised.... unfortunately we are one of the uncivilised nations on earth today...
V love sirilanka n its people..sanath jay suria ws my fav..if i ever visit srilanka,i wil def adopt a baby elephant...😍😍😍😍 m from lahore pakistan

Hello....as a SRI LANKAN....i really wants to thank DW TV documentary its a was wonderful video...about my country SRI LANKA...and the railway tracks journey...i was used to travel from MATARA ( south of the island) to KANDY by train every weekend for my hotel school course, from this video its brought back my old memories after 16 years later...😍😍😍😍😍 thank you DW ....and welcome to SRI LANKA.....
Great documentary. Friendly Sri Lankan’s . Love from Canada
I think, we may have to add Sri Lanka to our Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia tour this November. I had a few FB friends from there - great people, I might add - who's been goading me to visit. As usual, great docu from DW. Much respect, from the Philippines.
What a beautiful, lush, and clean country. 🇱🇰 Greetings and love from Indonesia. 🇮🇩
Antonius Raja I realised that Sri Lanka and Indonesia have the same culture ❤️ from Sri Lanka
Very nice
Anthony Wijaya it's not clean , look at the litter on the railway tracks. Compared to india it's cleaner.
Anthony Wijaya thanks
Beautiful? Yes. Lush? Yes. Clean? Not so much! Come here and see for yourself
Me and my friends are going to explore the amazing beauty of sri lanka in coming March.Love from pakistan my dear sri lankan ❤
How was the trip?
@@blackgrizly9522 not been there due to covid travel restrictions 😒
I’m from India🇮🇳
But love from Sri lanka 🇱🇰
Loved this island ❤️
Found one of the best and appealing documentaries about my country nicely done. found this while on qurantine Apr 2020 thanks youtube for recommending this...
A beautiful country of wonderful landscape mountains amazing water falls .indeed a very clean island beautiful beaches. just return home after a week of holiday in this beautiful island. many waterfalls which is made easier access for mankind to explore and enjoy the wonderful bath at the falls. well kept,clean.and amazing people. India Indonesia and many 3rd world countries need to learn from Sri Lanka in keeping public places clean. not even Malaysia is as clean as Sri Lanka..just not happy with the food from hotel and restaurant, maybe they can do better in this sector. other than that it's beautiful and amazing place to visit .in case you're travelling to this island don't forget to pack up some packets drink and biscuits our guide was wonderful person. very knowledgeable and speak good English..thanks Sri Lanka a wonderful island. 😘.
Thank you very much for visiting Sri Lanka
Proud to be a Sri Lankan & very happy that my country is so so beautiful.. Thanks also for the fantastic video & making my country to be more attractive to the world
Lived my life in Tamilnadu of India and so close to srilanka, yet i could never visit..Hope one day I would soon...Thanks for the awesome documentary!!
ok
Best bro...

Thank u and we are like to welcome u bro 👍
Me tooo. I live in Srilanka love to come India and see their cultural specially their foods❤️
I would like to donate 1million Euros to Sir Lanka tea community for their hard work for almost a century. BRITISH EMPIRE
Can you give me loan
@@teabreakbrewdevilskettle2820 Hah. ha,,
u can start your own tea factory bro
I feel sorry for the tea estate workers they have no choices in life, with their little income they have to look after their family and to educate their children. Though the estate owners says they have everything free( education, medical facilities) that’s not true. So, we decided to educate few children’s in Badulla buying them shoes, bags and stationeries and sending winter clothes from abroad. Hoping one day these kids will look after their families and help their communities. we haven’t met anyone personally we made a contact with a nice gentleman we are helping through him. We want to visit them personally when the pandemic over maybe next year hopefully.
