SRI LANKA / Global Vision International
This Sri Lankan volunteer program will take you to teach children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to develop their academic skills. Volunteers live in a rural community in Central Sri Lanka, close to one of the country’s largest National Parks and assist the local teacher with activities ranging from teaching English to children to training the village football team.
Volunteers live with a local family in the village to be immersed in the local Sri Lankan culture. For such a small island, Sri Lanka has many riches that continue to lure travelers, such as the waterfalls, beaches, excellent bird watching, fascinating culture, jungle and national parks that you can find here in abundance.
How this program makes a difference
The foundation started off providing children with further education in English and computers. The foundation now supports additional initiatives, such as bringing PC’s to the homes of the local villagers and micro-scholarships which aims to help students who are having difficulties financing their studies. This project now provides over 160 students with access to the internet, PC’s in their homes and an academy to improve their English and ICT education and most importantly it offers both the children and the community fresh hope for the future.
