Volunteering
Volunteers wanted to work in Sri Lanka
Occasionally limited places are available for those who are interested in becoming volunteers. Volunteers from all walks of life, of all ages can offer their services for periods as short as a few weeks to months to help with the various requirements of these projects. Free accommodation and transport from Colombo to the orphanages is available for such volunteers. You have to find the necessary funds to for your flight and other incidental expenses.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to donate to these projects, why not make contact with Trevor Thevarajah, a member of the Shrewsbury Lions club for further details.
Call him on 01952 598863 or email him on trevor.thevarajah@btinternet.com
Not only will you be visiting one of most beautiful Islands in the world with miles of palm fringed beeches and year round sunshine, you will also have the satisfaction of having helped a truly worthy cause. If you are retired or desire a break between school terms or work, why not give it a try. It may turn out to be an experience of a life time.
Please note that Sri Lanka is experiencing a civil war presently. Only if it is thought that it would be safe for you to undertake such a project, you will be encouraged to participate. Whilst every endeavour would be made to ensure your safety, the Church or this campaign cannot be held responsible for your safety.
We advice all volunteers to be fully aware of the security situation.
All placement of volunteers has been suspended due to internal organisation within the Mission until further notice. There will be a specific notification when the circumstances change. Please contact trevor.thevarajah@btinternet.com
