Volunteer in rural Asian communities Profile

VESL is a charity that provides unique, exciting and worthwhile volunteering opportunities in Sri Lankan and Indian communities. Each year VESL recruits volunteers to run a variety of different educational projects. Volunteers are placed together in small teams or with a partner. Volunteers can either work on 4/5 week placements in the summer or on longer projects around the year. We also send teams of trained teachers (PGCE, TEFL or equivilent) to run workshops for local teachers. All volunteers receive comprehensive back-up and support during their placement as well as a pre departure training course.

What makes us different from many other organisations sending volunteers overseas is:

• VESL is run by volunteers so costs are kept to a minimum
• VESL is a charity
• VESL only runs projects where it knows its volunteers will make a difference
• VESL runs an education fund which regularly donates money to projects in Asia.

Our aim is to set up and run well-structured, well-supported and worthwhile placements for volunteers in the neediest Sri Lankan and Indian communities.
Experience of working with children and/or teaching would be helpful, However, enthusiasm, adaptability and sensitivity are the top attributes we will be looking for in any volunteer.

We would love to hear from you if you fancy taking up the challenge and working on a VESL placement.
