Sri Lanka - Teaching English to Buddhist Monks

Volunteer on the tropical, southern coast of Sri Lanka to teach English to Buddhist monks! Funding is very low for English teaching as the monastery focuses so heavily on Buddhist teachings. Volunteers on this program will have the opportunity to engage in cultural exchange with these students as well as help them learn basic English. Volunteers will plan lessons and teach in the mornings. Each class will consist of 2-15 monk students, between the ages of 11-19. In the afternoons, volunteers can join a women's literacy program, teach at a kindergarten or explore on their own!
