Salary / Benefits
We are running some extra English classes for school children. We do this project in this village ( Akuressa near Mirissa, Weligama and Unavatuna beach). Sinharaja rain forest is also not so far.
Our target group is school children and school leavers. Their English speaking ability is so weak. Their parents are tea pluckers and we believe that if their students are fluent in English it is easy for them to find a job after school. we started this service with the students of university of Internation Coöperation North South in Belgium. every year they (University) send two or three students to fulfill their internship and thesis for six month. so this is a best place for your internship or thesis too. Now our children are so good and more enthusiastic learning English. Volunteers can stay with us and exchange their knowledge and culture with us.
