We do amazing volunteering. Individuals - make lifelongfriends. #youthleaders - find out about bringing a school, university, or youth group.
In villages in Sri Lanka #familystrengthening #projects are taking place. Supported by organisations we partner, children learn in villages after school, and parents provide meals communally for the children. Knowing they will be fed at a particular time everyday encourages children to go to school and build their futures. Just as a regular meal makes a difference, so does your volunteering. Contact us to find out more.
The great thing about organising top quality volunteering projects that support communities and NGOs is knowing how our volunteers and everyone they work with, benefits. Message us and ask about linking up.

The Potters Tale Sometimes the #differencewemake is #immediately #obvious. Sometimes it takes a while to realise the #positiveeffect we have. Taking tourists to #experience #SriLankan #villagelife, our income growing project, has literally transformed lives. #Travellers meet #srilanka #offthebeatentrack and local people benefit. The potters used to #turnpots on a wooden wheel, one forming the pot, the other turning the wheel by hand. Thanks to our project, the potters have now bought a #secondhand electric wheel, with a pedal, enabling one of them to staff a #smallshop they have opened by the #road #togetherweshapeourworld
#volunteering in #amazing #srilanka isn't all #sunsandsea and #surf. #somtimes its #sand and #moresand . But all to #makeadifference. In this case, #buildingtoilets . #welldone
There are so many unfinished buildings in the villages we work in, that renovation or completion is as important as building from scratch. #followus on Instagram and #fb to keep up to date with our work, and #contactus to find out how you can #volunteer and make a difference in Sri Lanka, and in 2019, in #ghana and #myanmar
