Last summer I had the most amazing oppertunity to go work on the teaching placement in Sri Lanka for a couple if months! My time out down as both a volunteer and a co-ordinator was INCREDIABLE to say the least. The projects were so rewarding and I felt like I really got to know the students and young people I worked with! The teams I worked with were full of energy and delivering lessons, traveling and relaxing with them made up some of the best parts! The project managers are very supportive and really care about the people who volunteer with them and constantly strived to provide the best placements for them quickly patching up any problems that came about! Staying with a family out there felt like the best way to explore And lean about the culture. It was not awkard at all as the family wanted us to get involved and the children were keen to sit with us and chat away! Sri Lanka itself is a beautiful country! And I am planning to go back again when I have the time to finish off traveling! The organisation is extremely well run and cheap compared to other places I looked at. The 24/7 support you recieve and the genuine desire to make sure your placement a fantastic experience is obvious! I would definitly recommend going out with SLV you will Meet some amazing people and get to visit a beautiful place!
