Had the greatest experience with these guys! Sri Lanka was my first solo international trip and Projects Abroad made it so easy for me. Over the span of four months, I participated in medical and Engl (Read More)ish teaching volunteer programs, and throughout every step, their guidance and support were unwavering, making sure that I made the most out of my time there. From orientation to the daily assistance at my placement, I always felt valued and empowered to make a real difference. Everyone was most welcoming, including my host family, project supervisors, and fellow volunteers, making me feel truly at home and allowing me to fully immerse myself in the local culture. Beyond my primary volunteer roles, Projects Abroad also provided opportunities to engage with various healthcare initiatives and community development projects, and every moment felt meaningful and rewarding.
Sri Lanka also had the most vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes to explore in my free time. Through Projects Abroad I made some very good travel buddies that I traveled the country with, and I always got the best advice on where to go next. To this day Sri Lanka remains one of the most memorable places I visited. I still remember the pristine beaches, majestic mountains, forests, and historic sites. The connections I formed with the local community surely left a lasting impact on me.
My time in Sri Lanka with Projects Abroad was definitely an unforgettable one. For anyone seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and the opportunity to make a positive impact, I wholeheartedly recommend Projects Abroad! In Sri Lanka, you'll discover not only the beauty of the country but also the depth of your own potential to effect change. It's an experience I would rate 10 out of 10, and one I encourage others to embark on for a truly transformative volunteering experience!
