Info

Accomodation Accomodation is provided free in the research station itself, 3-4 people in a room (more if we are busy), and in surrounding properties. Breakfast and evening meals are prepared by volunteers on a rota basis as are cleaning duties. Lunches are inexpensive and if on site people can raid the kitchens and put 1 Euro into a kitty, which we are donating to pay the wages of Sri Lankean teachers. They only need 1 euro per day!! The washing machine can also be used with washing powder provided. We ask you to put 1 euro in the teachers kitty for this too. Meetings Meetings are held every night for the rota of next day and progress of the each research projects. Friday evening meetings are to debrief. Sunday evenings are the most important as it sets goals for the coming week.
The House Rules Clean up after yourself, (except after dinner when the on site team that day cleans up as part of their daily on site duty). When using the toilets NO paper or non organic materials are to be put in the loo as this will block the main sewage system (very nasty) - there is a waste bin where all such materials must be placed and the on site team each day has to dispose of it in the rubbish, (little bit nasty). DRUGS, EXCESSIVE DRINK, BOISTEROUS AND RUDE BEHAVIOUR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED- YOU WILL SIMPLY BE SENT HOME. If you are on the whale watching boats you must be ready for transporting at 9.00am or earlier if advised. It is your responsibility: - To make sure that you have all the equipment that you need. - To make sure that your t-shirt is clean - To know where you are going - As soon as you get home data and photos need to be put on to the computers, without exception. On days in the research centre you must: - Be up and ready to work by 9am - Water ALL plants, upstairs and outside - Sweep ALL floors, including upstairs - Mop the Kitchen area - ALL THE ABOVE BY 10.00AM SO REAL WORK CAN BEGIN - Cook evening dinner (Lessons will be provided if necessary!) - Wash all pots and pans after dinner - Take kitchen and toilet bins out to the end of the road after 8pm - Take the recycling down to recycling point If you use the washing machine, 1€ goes to a kitty each per wash. This money goes to paying the wage of an African teacher If you eat lunch on site, again 1€ needs to be placed in the same kitty CATS: - NOT allowed in the kitchen - NOT allowed in the research room - NOT allowed in bedrooms - Water bowl in the hall needs filling when or if empty If you use the last of something or notice it running out, PLEASE add it to the white board in the kitchen The cars are for project use only. If they are used for touring the island it will be at the project leader/ drivers discretion and the petrol will be paid by those using the car. NO MOANING IS ALLOWED! If you think you have a problem SAY! People consistently whispering in dark corners, long faces and sour looks will be barbequed.
