  Description

  We deliver innovative educational arts programs to children in marginalized communities in Sri Lanka, to bring about their psycho-social rehabilitation from trauma and deliver real lasting change. These children are survivors of war, disaster, and endemic poverty. We are an established registered England and Wales charity with significant experience delivering such programs.
  
  Please check our calendar for up to date times for when we need certain volunteers. We are only looking for:
  
  Capoeristas, Dancers, artists, martial artists, yogis, sports persons, and other educators or creatives, to join us through July, August and September.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  All volunteers will be provided with cultural awareness training from community leaders and trained teachers and artists. Volunteers will benefit from real mutual social learning, living, working and socializing with the community and these incredible resilient children. They will have intimate experience of the local cultural, customs, and wildlife of Sri Lanka, and will take part in active projects to share alternative ideas and culture with the children and staff. We provide a unique opportunity to experience the North and East of Sri Lanka. There is travel and exchanges between various locations in Sri Lanka. There will also be time for independent travel, which we will provide support for.

  Cet hôte fait payer des frais

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.

   

  Contribution of no more than $5 a day to cover electricity, water and food
