For this video, I am very thankful to Mr. Kaushalya for taking the time to join me on this crazy journey, make this video happen, and translate everything for me! And big thanks to his boss for letting me visit the mines and document it with no expectations in return. ❤🙏🏽 I have returned to my beloved island and country for the fifth time in the last two years. You already know how much I love this country and how much I enjoy experiencing its hospitality, nature, and food. All the videos filmed in Sri Lanka in this series aim to promote tourism in the country and, at the same time, promote the project for special children in Sri Lanka. The project aims to build accessible toilets for special children on this beautiful island. You can support the project here: www.gofundme.com/f/10-toilets-for-special-children-in-sri-lanka-with-davud-a I appreciate your support, and I hope you enjoy the series. Anything & Everything For Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Davud A.

I'm an English teacher in Sri Lanka. I told my all the students to watch your videos not only to improve their English also to know how to act politely among others and respect all the cultures. You are a teacher to them. Thanks Davud. 🙏 In Sri Lanka a huge exam is coming for students GCE O/L and it is the biggest exam in the country. Can you cheer the students in your Next video? The entire country will be filled with your kindness. Cheers.

Mr. Nanaaaaaaa 😍 ❤❤❤ its so good to see you! Nana is such a humble & well educated person. I know him & He is a hotel manager not a tour guide. We went for our honeymoon at the place he worked 4 years ago. Mr Davud you are lucky to have him as your instructor. Beautiful and informative video. I know about gems but never seen those mines before! It's sad to hear they have a hard life like that! Very nice documentary! 👍

I am a gemstone dealer and collector from New Delhi, India. I visited a mine in rarnapura few years ago.that mine was not using those machines which you encountered. Watching this video brought old memories light up in my brain.you gained a new subscriber. Enjoy traveling brother.love to people of sri lanka.

I pray all Sri Lankan’s whose using youtube watch all your videos Davud. Sri Lanka is my home too after marrying a Sri Lankan man and I love it there, and I can see myself getting old there in future. I am watching all your videos without skipping any ads no matter how long it will be as my support to you for helping my second country specially those special children. We love your generosity. God bless you brother.. Praying for your safety travel in every places you visit.

Hi Gud Morning Davud n Nana who accompanied you.. Nice to meet you too.. From India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Second mine boss and guide look similar like brothers.Guide is done an amazing job he can speak really good english.So glad to see that kind of ability especially among the srilankan people ❤

This series will be amazing as always! Thank you so much for visiting Sri Lanka again and again!

I learnt so much about the mines and the gems from this vlog You have a heart of gold Davud We love you for the kindness and genuine heart you have

Davud, you are truly remarkable. Your documentary on gem mines is by far the most comprehensive I've come across. Many Sri Lankans themselves are unfamiliar with the intricacies of this mining process, making your film not only captivating but also highly educational. Thank you immensely for shedding light on this aspect of our world. Moreover, your improved Sinhala pronunciation demonstrates your dedication and respect for our culture. Wishing you all the best, and take care 👏👏👏🙏❤

බොහොමත් ස්තුති අපේ රටේ කටුක ජීවිත ගැන ලෝකයට කියනවට❤❤

Davud is Great person on the Earth , hence every Sri Lankan should subscribe this Channel

Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka again and showcasing SL communities across the country on KZfaq. I hope more donations fill come in soon and I did my best to share the link on social media as well. Thank you again Davud!

The gem mines and the people working underground deserves special regards, more so because they are undertaking such a dangerous work. Thanks for showing this Davud.

In Sri Lanka it is considered to be a shame act to visit a house with empty handed. Davud is becoming Sri Lankan... 😍

Your Sinhala has improved. Stay Blessed my friend ❤

I bought a sapphire ring when I went to Sri Lanka. I think it’s the jeweler that makes money and not the people that works in the mine.

Budusaranai means alot 🙏

Hello Mr. Davud. I have started following you and watching your videos since you visited my country, the Philippines. That made me curious enough to watch your old videos, from the time you decided to quit the corporate world and travel to different countries as a vlogger. The places you visit amaze me, esp. Bhutan which is a beautiful country. I learn so much from your videos because they show the different parts of the world, cultures, food, festivals, traditions, practices, etc. I love to travel myself too, and your videos give me an idea which places are safe to visit. But as a tourist, I only get to see the beautiful places and not those that show the everyday situations of nationals. Some of your videos made me sad because of how some people have to work so hard for a meager amount especially the elderly like the old woman selling garlic in India, this 86 year old miner and more, who at their old age still need to work. I hope that people who watch your videos will appreciate life better, especially those who are enjoying a more comfortable life and learn to be satisfied the same way those living with less are. Please continue to help people, especially the elderly and children with special needs. I wish you good luck and safety in your journey around the world. God bless you.

I made the first touristic trip with my wife and with my friends family from 10th May to 17th May visited seven destinations. We thoroughly enjoyed the Sri Lankan hospitality and food was really enjoyable. People there are no different to India except language and slightly different but tasty food. A nice destination to Indians at very affordable but luxurious comfort.

Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka

Excellent vedio congratulations

You have done more service to Sri Lanka innocents than its fake politicos. ❤

Great guy 🙏🙏

Thank you💖 very much Davud ❤️ 🇱🇰

Very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤! Amei 🥰 esse vídeo , amo demais pedras preciosas 💎!!

Hi davad...✌️😊.i suggest and recommend you to visit Trincomalee on your next visit to Sri Lanka. It has a more warm environment but you have many amazing and beautiful places to visit.(It's not my hometown, but I suggest it.I am a southern sri lankan. I live in Hambantota. Just like you have visited the southern part as incredible , please visit the eastern part of Sri Lanka. trincomalee It is amazing.)🇱🇰✌️😊❤️☘️

welcome back to Sri Lanka...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

WOW. Wonderful.

IF workers see white hair in their soup, it's definitely from the chest of that chef

❤❤Dear Davud❤❤ I hope this message finds you well, my dear brother! I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to watch the video of our journey together. It brought back so many cherished memories, especially the day we faced challenges in the mine. Breathing was tough due to the low oxygen levels, but your boundless energy and determination kept us going. We wanted to share the real story of gem miners with everyone, to show their hard work and dedication. The joy you bring to our lives extends even to my daughter, who adores the cat doll you gave her. It's become her constant companion, and seeing her cuddle it fills my heart with warmth and gratitude. A huge thank you goes out to Gayan boss and his amazing team for welcoming us with open arms during our exploration. The miners we met were not just strong physically but also in spirit. Their positive outlook and belief in luck are lessons that resonate deeply, especially for those struggling with self-doubt. Davud, you are a beacon of love and kindness, a true messenger of goodwill. Your efforts to showcase the world's diversity and equality touch the hearts of many. Life, with all its challenges, becomes a beautiful journey because of people like you who spread love and understanding. I eagerly look forward to our next reunion, where we can continue our adventures and create more beautiful memories together. Sending you lots of love and warm wishes, Your brother, NANA
