Volunteers Village Sri Lanka

Volunteers Village

Volunteers Village is a small community where our volunteers live, work and socialise. This is a new complex which opened Summer 2010. We are located in Habaradua- Galle, Southern Sri Lanka. The village is dedicated towards making volunteers feel safe and comfortable so as to reach their full potential when helping the children. The village is unique as both volunteers and local children fill the complex daily. These are both children from the local area, and children with special needs in the Galle District. The Village works alongside the Children’s Hope organization which provides the opportunities to work outside the village amongst other projects also.

Within the village there are lots of different things to see and do:

Training and Community Centre

This centre offers the opportunity to work with children in the Galle District in southern Sri Lanka. The volunteers can learn and teach sewing, carpentry, weaving, arts, craft, ICT and English. Computers and new technology we provided at V.V. however training the kids how to use these communications system, and expand their I.T. knowledge.
The Training Centre is also educating the families of special needs children. This involves teaching sign, l ife skills and an understanding of how local families can deal with special needs children.

Art / Craft & 2nd Hand Shop

This shop will sell Products made in the training centre and around local villages by the children. The income made from these projects will aid the running costs and be spent directly on the children once again
