If you are looking for gap year volunteer work abroad, then consider helping as a volunteer in Sri Lanka for an extremely worthy cause. The 2004 Tsunami devastated many parts of Sri Lanka, and a considerable amount of volunteer work is still needed in many areas.
Give children in rural schools the chance to participate in football, netball or any other sport you play. Teach in schools and after school clubs, arrange training sessions and organise a sports day.
Help out at homes for orphans and the elderly. Teach English and maths to give children a better chance in the future, organise games and activities and keep older adults from feeling lonely.
