Teaching in Sri Lanka

Sue has a qualification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, so she has spent a couple of months every year for the past few years teaching English at a variety of levels in different schools across Sri Lanka, from the 6 year olds in Grade 2 at Habarana to the A Level students at Tissa Central College in Kalutara. Sue always has an amazing time and will be returning to do more teaching year on year as it is one of the most fulfilling things she has ever done.

Facilities at Tissa Central College, Kalutara

Sue provided sufficient funds for the installation of a toilet for the teachers at this school. Before she arrived, there were no facilities that they could use.  She also provided racking for the Staff Room as there were no storage facilities there.

Schools in the Negombo area

We have provided English reading books for a number of school libraries in the Negombo area. They just don't have interesting reading/picture books like we do in the UK which really stimulate an interest to read!

Our school projects for the future

We will carry on supplying English reading books to a variety of schools in the Negombo area because they have so few English books.  These schools desperately need help in the teaching of English too,  so we will be sending our Gap Year and Career break volunteers there.  For each volunteer that we send, we will provide a set amount of money for the school where they are placed to help with the provision of resources and any projects that they are trying to undertake.
