A Czech Woman finds her Purpose in Sri Lanka
Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|October 13, 2025
When 31-year-old Dominika Voltrova from the Czech Republic first landed in Sri Lanka, she thought she would be staying for only two weeks.

Today, one and a half years later, she still calls the southern coastal town of Ambalangoda her home - a place where her heart found meaning beyond career ambitions.
"I studied law back home and even received an offer to work at a law firm," she recalls. "But when I came to Sri Lanka, I found the work I was doing here far more meaningful. I chose this life over a career in Europe because it gives me a sense of fulfillment that I could never find behind a desk."
Voltrova volunteers at the Foundation of Goodness, a humanitarian organisation that supports underprivileged rural communities across Sri Lanka. The Foundation operates from its flagship Centre of Excellence in Seenigama and has expanded to 21 centres island-wide. Its programmes span 25 sectors, including women's empowerment, education, vocational training, sports, IT, psychosocial care, and environmental conservation.
