Why “Finding the Mango Trees”?

The title of the blog refers not only to their love for the delicious fruit. The mango tree is also a source of shade, food, and livelihood in Sri Lanka. Mangos have a high demand in local markets and help support and foster the local economy.

Just as the mango tree is the source of sustenance for many, Matangi, Dharsha and Vinosha will be going to Sri Lanka to work alongside grassroots organizations that are supporting development in local communities. This trip is about making meaningful connections with individuals and groups who are making a difference on the ground and finding ways to support them.

In order to address the most urgent needs of the organizations they will be volunteering with, visit findingthemangotrees.tumblr.com and click “DONATE”.

Matangi, Dharsha and Vinosha look forward to sharing their adventures in Sri Lanka with you!
