Sri Lanka Orphanage Volunteers

  Sri Lanka

Polonnaruwa

Durations of Program: 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Dates: First Monday of every month.

Description: Make a real difference to disadvantaged children in an orphanage. Help the children improve their English and maths skills and therefore improve their future opportunities. The home accommodates orphaned, abandoned or vulnerable girls.

The Volunteer Project
Volunteers can make a tremendous contribution in all departments by looking after the children as well as the elders. By helping the children improve their English and maths skills you can create more opportunities for them and make a positive impact on their lives.

Use your free time to take full advantage of the many attractions on offer. Relax on the beautiful beaches lining the coast just south of Colombo, or take a look around one of the world heritage sites, which include the cave temples of Dambulla, the Sigiriya Rock Fortress or the Royal City of Kandy.

If you prefer something more physical, you have the opportunity to go jungle trekking, mountain biking, bird watching, diving or on an elephant safari, the list is endless!
