Village Life in Sri Lanka: a day in the life of a Rubber Farmer

[@Sheneller]

Too often, we only hear stories of despair and hardship when it comes to rural Sri Lanka. But as full-time travelers across the country, we’ve had the privilege of discovering so many inspiring stories of incredible people with amazing attitudes, doing extraordinary things! I hope this video inspires you as much as it inspired us. Sri Lanka is full of stories like this-we just need to shine a light on them!

He initiated rubber growing in Ampara district on 2003 and he is big role model of rubber in eastern province.I was work at there 2016 to 2020 as Rubber development officer 👍.Thank you very much for your contribution to promoting our plantation industry 🙏🙏

[@sagarikudaligama1527]

Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka first introduced rubber to this village and Mr Attanayaka is the 1st farmer who did a marvelous job to adopt rubber to this region. Because of him thousands of families benefited now.

[@Sheneller]

Thanks a lot for your kind words

[@kaminidesilva705]

Thanks for sharing. Nice video.

[@Sheneller]

Thanks for watching!

[@savitrisenanayake6081]

I grew up in this environment. My father had his own Rubber Estate & always encouraged us to watch all the happenings in the Estate.

[@duleekahewage4630]

Was thinking to myself today, as to what happened to this project started years ago.... Thank you..!

[@sadun4496]

I am very happy to see this about our village, and it is visible that rubber cultivation contributed for the success of many people in our village.

[@duosdream]

Wow. Just found your channel and watched at least 5 of your videos. You have such a beautiful and calming voice. We would absolutely love to meet you one day in Sri Lanka, one of our favourite countries in the world! Subscribed and can't wait for more videos 🥰

[@chandaniperera3384]

Very interesting to see how they live

[@tamarabailey1893]

It is nice to hear positive stories about my country. Thank you so much for this wonderful story! I live in Canada and every time I talk to my family in Sri Lanka, it’s always negative and dying to come to Canada or go to another country that they fantasied!

[@Sheneller]

So many inspiring stories all around this beautiful island! Blessed to have the platform to share them with the world. Thank you for sharing your experience hope it encourages more to do the same.

[@GalappaththigeDeSilva]

You are so clever sister. This family shows everyone how to be active in life. Thunsaranai devipihitai 😊

[@Sheneller]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@eardleynorton6948]

So nice to see this village life still in existence. Reminds me of our childhood. Trees, paddy fields and forests were our playgrounds. And like you say, yes being amongst nature evokes something within. Sadly the new generations will never know what that means or how it feels. This is super vid that shows what the true village life is like in Sri Lanka.

[@sounderdavis5446]

This video expanded my awareness into an area I'd never thought about. With so much to admire in this video, I'm reluctant to quibble about one small detail but must point out: natural isn't the same as safe. Yes, we should avoid many non-natural products such as plastics (made from natural petroleum) in mattresses. But one example of a natural element not used in mattresses today but very unsafe to be around is asbestos. Other natural resources can be carcinogenic, radioactive, etc. I'm not equating rubber-based latex to asbestos, just saying: natural doesn't equal safe. Nonetheless: many thanks for sharing this outstanding video!

[@Sheneller]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the thoughtful note.

[@maheshkumara7156]

Awesome video

[@Gruxixo]

21:19 rightfully said! adding value and showcase traceability is the way to go! looking forward to see the same happening to cocoa, coffee and vanilla farming as the branch is still not structured in a way quality improvements can be incremented and deliver value.

Wowww!!!! Watching this just reminds me of how our little island is so blessed!!!!!🫶🏽 Love how you also show the hardworking people & their families behind these industries! :')

[@arunapathulpana2914]

After a long time i met a video about sri lanka rubber industry. But sri lanka rubber cultivation is not a beautiful story in many areas totally. Its very sad story in Sabaragamuwa province. All of our rubber trees turned into leaf less trees in some months of the year. Anyone didn't give any solution until now. All of the rubber cultivators in this area face a big problem now. Please help us for find solutions.

[@Sheneller]

That is news to us. perhaps the rubber research institute of Sri lanka would be able to assist. in our research for this video we visiting the Ampara & Monaragala districts of Sri Lanka.

[@dominicabey5268]

Is thete any Keralite families in this country?

[@dileenijayatileke5712]

Why don't the workers wear gloves, because rubber milk cud be quite toxic ?
