Who are our volunteers?
Our volunteers come from all over the world and are individuals who would like to help Sri Lanka. Some live in Sri Lanka. Others have family in Sri Lanka or have memories of growing up there. We have also been fortunate to get help from charities around the world who are interested in community development.
