Volunteer in Sri Lanka

Working as a volunteer in Sri Lanka is a superb way to provide direct support to a country that was devastated by the terrible Boxing Day 2004 tsunami. In many ways Sri Lanka has made a remarkable recovery, but the tsunami has obviously had an extremely long-lasting effect and there is also still much work to be done in terms of re-building homes. If you volunteer in Sri Lanka you can make an valuable contribution as you travel Sri Lanka. Travellers who volunteer in Sri Lanka also greatly benefit from the experience as well – by working closely with local people you gain a unique and privileged insight in to everyday Sri Lankan life and culture.

Sri Lanka volunteer

One of Real Gap’s most challenging, but equally rewarding, gap year Sri Lanka volunteer programmes is a project on which volunteers help to re-build homes destroyed by the tsunami. Alternatively if you’d prefer a Sri Lanka volunteer programme that’s a little less demanding you can also opt for a gap year teaching projects, where you can teach English in a local school.
