Meet Ayesha & Nalin
Hello, we are Ayesha and Nalin. A few years back we returned to our home country, Sri Lanka, with the aim to develop the community of this Dolomite mining village. We started a small domestic farm with mixed livestock and vegetables and a fruit garden, run a community project that has the goal to obtain plastic water storage tanks for the village families and we recently also started to provide accommodation to be able to develop the community further. For us, it’s about bringing Digana to the forefront and really allowing it to develop.
