Kawasaki's of Kandy

About a year ago I joined an organisation called Servas International. Their philosophy is one that I hold close to my travel ethos. "Peace and understanding through travel and hosting". So now when I travel, I contact the hosts in that country and try and meet them. This time I was lucky enough to meet Ken and Visakha Kawasaki who live in Kandy. They insisted that I stay with them in their gorgeous home and I was I made to feel part of their extended family that consists of friends, neighbours, monks, nuns, philosophers, teaching colleagues and their loyal and caring staff, Lily the cook and housekeeper and Ashoka their driver.

They are fascinating people with amazing past lives as ESL teachers and workers in Indochinese refugee camps. They still teach at the university and have many Chinese and Burmese monks learning English through the many resources that they create. Check out their website  Brelief.
