I volunteered with SLV from June to September 2014, originally I was supposed to stay in Sri Lanka for just 5 weeks but loved it so much I asked to extend and completed a total of 10 weeks. I was promoted while out there to a volunteer coordinator and psychology manager. I loved every minute of my time with SLV, and fell in love with every single project I was a part of especially the special needs projects. The SLV staff are fantastic and are there for you from start to finish of the placement. It is also such a lovely touch getting to stay with families in Sri Lanka as it was so nice to get fully immersed in the culture and feel even more a part of the Sri Lankan culture. I had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people, who will definitely be my friends for life and it was such a great opportunity to meet people who had so much in commen as me. I would definitely recommend being part of SLV to anyone who is considering taking part, it is such an amazing experience I could not recommend more. Sri Lanka is such a beautiful county you will love discovering on your weekend adventures. I would definitely love to go back if opportunity allows, I love it all so much!!
