Description:
Volunteers joining this program teach English to adorable Buddhist Monks. The monks are in the age group of 7-18 years. Volunteers work in a temple/school for Buddhist Monks in the coastal city of Galle, located in southern Sri Lanka. Volunteers will teach for about 5 hours in a day and will have weekends off. You can start teaching with the basics of the language and help them in learning short simple terms first. The young monks are delighted if they are able to learn a simple, short sentence which enables them to understand English speaking people and express themselves in the same language. You are welcome to bring your own teaching materials for the project as the temple schools are do not have provide many teaching materials for the monks.
By teaching English to the young monks you will also get an opportunity to gain knowledge about the Buddhist culture and customs in Sri Lanka. Note: You need not be a qualified teacher to join this program. Program Information Program Requirements
