Whether you stand in front of a class teaching English or teach them English whilst coaching sports, teaching music, drama or arts, you should not underestimate the amazing effect you have on these children.

What is in it for you?

If passing on your knowledge and thereby giving another person, child or adult, a chance on a better life isn’t enough for you than maybe the following will be:

• You will be greeted by the warmest smiles ever.
• You will get a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with the Sri Lankan culture
• You will get to know the people through teaching and your home-stay with a local family.
