One of the best experiences I have had! After my third week on this placement I decided that 5 weeks would not be long enough and I therefore extended to a 10 week placement and took on the role of coordinator, which meant I could help new volunteers to have the fulfilling and amazing experience I have had. It has helped me discover what I would be most interested in when considering a career in psychology and enabled me to have a completely new cultural experience. The main thing I have learnt from this experience is that you get out exactly what you put in - I was eager to learn, motivated and open-minded, all of which enabled me to have the best experience I could have possibly had. I made so many life-long friends and really enjoyed my time in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this placement for psychology students/graduates looking for experience in teaching, mental health or special needs and anyone who wants to make a difference!
