E4 - Dog and Cat Shelters in Sumatra and Sri Lanka with Conny

Ripples of Humanity by Rachael Thompson

Episode notes

In this episode, I take you to the beachside surf town in Weligama on the South West coast of Sri Lanka where I met Conny who runs non-profit dog and cat shelters. She has one shelter based on the Indonesian Island of Sumatra and another in Trincomalee on the East coast of Sri Lanka. She stays in Weligama where she runs a smaller home-based shelter currently housing 19 cats and 7 dogs.

If you want more information about the Workaway volunteering concept and platform, check out episode 3 of the podcast where I introduce this.

In my 3 weeks staying near Weligama, I have been volunteering at the shelter for some afternoons. I was immediately intrigued by Conny's journey and her overflowing passion for what she does.

I hope you enjoy hearing from Conny!
