Go to Sri Lanka!

I had an amazing volunteer experience with SLV! I would recommend it to anyone interested in working abroad, especially if you are passionate about working with kids and youth.

I did the teaching placement and lived with a lovely family in Horana, which was great! I chose SLV because it seemed organized and professional and nothing disappointed me when I came down there and started working. It didn't take long until I felt as a part of the local community!:) People are REALLY hospitable and friendly in Sri Lanka!

During the week we got to do a lot of different work, and therefore I gained loads of new experiences during my two months stay. It was exhausting, but the lovely dinners in our homestay gave us the energy we needed! Having a loving family around every day really made me feel like home.

And Sri Lanka may be the most beautiful country I have ever visited! It's so much to see and do without being overcrowded. I hope to return one day! Good luck to all the new volunteers!
