I just keep going back!

I went to Sri Lanka for three months (then stayed for a year). I've been back to Sri Lanka several times since and have also volunteered in India and Thailand.

VESL's projects are ones that make a real difference to the communities. Living with a host family gives you an insight into the culture that you would struggle to get anywhere else.

The variety of the role means that volunteers are continually challenged. I am still surprised by some of the things I've done! :)

The VESL support staff were wonderful. It is an organisation with a great, friendly atmosphere. I've made several wonderful friends through VESL and I just keep going back to Asia. :)
