It would be rude not to! Here I am out in the hill country looking at new projects to support and new experiences to be had. This roadside stop is a wooden and mud long kiosk, where the food is cooked on wood fires. The bus, winding up the mountain, stops and disengorges it's passengers so that the driver and conductor can stop for tea. Why wouldn't you? Then back on the bus and off you go. Join us in Sri Lanka volunteering. You'll only look forward afterwards.
Our volunteers always cause a stir. You will too. We don't just send volunteers on projects. Give A Fig Volunteering are committed to working with the NGOs and non-profits our volunteers go to, to make their work sustainable, to ensure people are able to earn a living, and to make a difference in the community. We're different! Volunteer with us with confidence in 2019.

We're supporting NGOs in Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, in schools, children's centres, on projects for girls, as well as 'donate and build' bio-gas (for food cooking and fertiliser for crop growing) and toilet construction (to ensure people have toilets). Join us and change someone's world and yours.

Yes, it is a monk going out on a limb, to pick fruit. There's about 100 different fruit treed in Sr Lanka, they knowledge of which is being lost. When you go out with the monks they'll show you fruit you've never seen before. Volunteering with us ... do things well, do things differently.
