A chance to work alongside highly committed local Sri Lankan people and gain a unique insight into another culture.
A chance to make a difference, to connect with Sri Lankan people and communities in another culture, gaining an insight into cultural differences as well as the similarities of our lives.
A chance to be inspired, stretched and be changed in surprising, unexpected ways.
A chance to relax and have a holiday. Tuk-Tuk volunteers spend half their time working, and the other half sightseeing and enjoying a country often referred to as a "tropical paradise".
The work can be challenging: its hot, the facilities where we work are often basic, meeting and working alongside people in poor communities can be exhausting. But despite this you will be rewarded in the knowledge that you're using your holiday to make a difference.
So at the end of each day you will return to a comfortable room in a small friendly hotel. You will have air-conditioning and en-suite facilities and you'll enjoy dinner in local restaurants each evening.
A typical Tuk Tuk 15 day volunteering holiday:
| Acclimastising: explore the area, stroll along the beach, have a dip in the pool at a neighbouring hotel, meet some of the community. | Volunteering with the projects. | Go on an elepheant safari, visit a temple and tea estate. | Volunteering with the projects. | 3 days relaxing on a beach on the south coast. |
| Days 1-2 | Days 3-6 | Days 7-8 | Days 9-12 | Days 13-15 |
Every day we will have a ‘Debrief’ meeting - Tuk Tuk provides an opportunity for the team to come together to share the high’s and lows of the day. This is a time when we can celebrate the positives and share the challenges. These meetings also provide any practical information needed for the following day. All volunteers are expected to attend the debrief sessions.
