Do I need to meet any requirements in order to apply?
It is more than enough to have a sincere interest in mental health or the skill you got and a willingness to provide fully contribution among Sri Lankan community.
Can I choose which project to work on when I want to?
The demands of our service partners continue to be priority. We therefore give their needs precedence
over the choices of the volunteers. Every placement option is made with the intention of having the
possible impact. We have the expertise and staff on the ground to create a custom project for you, or simply help you find the best option.
How far in advance of my intended placement date should I apply?
We advise applying as soon as possible to guarantee a slot for the date of your choice. On the website, we update our placement listings on a regular basis.
Do I get any assistance when I arrive to the airport?
Our top priority is for you to feel secure as soon as you land in Sri Lanka. When you arrive at the airport,
our Sri Lankan staff members will greet you and securely transport you to your homestay. Other
volunteers will be showing up at the same time, so now is a wonderful moment to start forming
relationships. The project manager will get in touch with you before you arrive to let you know exactly
where to meet and to get a sense of who else is arriving at the same time.
What sort of experience should I expect?
In a stunning nation, volunteers can anticipate playing a significant part in a professional setting as they plan and direct psychologically oriented programmes in residential care facilities, hospitals, and other humanitarian projects or the area you are willing to contribute with leisure/ recreational and zero stress.
How can I extend my period in Sri Lanka?
We are willing to talk about possible extensions. Please get in touch with us!
How should I response a medical emergency?
While medical emergencies are extremely rare, our staff members are prepared for any eventuality and
follow stringent guidelines for handling them. You may contact our staff members anytime. All volunteers are obliged to carry sufficient travel insurance. Depending on the activities included in your volunteer activity, the volunteer must make sure they have the right amount of coverage with their preferred travel provider/insurance.
What is the action plan of the security of volunteers?
Every effort is made to guarantee the safety of every volunteer while they are on placement. Our team is
prepared to undertake any circumstance that may come up since they have the necessary training and
expertise. While working on a project, our staff members are always with our volunteers.
Volunteers receive comprehensive information on the community in which they are living and working, along with guidance on how to carry out their daily volunteer activities. In the communities we work with, there is a respectful and understanding culture, and we are embraced. Several skilled supervising staff members are present at every project to guarantee the security and well-being of volunteers.
Necessary contact details will be shared with every volunteer in any emergency.

A visa is necessary for every foreign travel, and our staff can help you with the application procedure. We guarantee that we have approval for all visas relevant to your volunteer activity thanks to our ties with government agencies.
Do I need to have any special experience to join?
Your experience level will determine which projects are best for you. Our volunteers may be enthusiastic
