SUPPORT AND INFORMATION
Janet and Bruce have led numerous trips to Sri Lanka and we are fortunate to have many new and return volunteers to help us out. Our deep roots in the community and strong bonds with the local people create a very meaningful and intimate volunteer experience.
For the volunteers who travel with us, TRIP Canada provides:
Support for in-country arrangements, travel and accommodation booking.
Cost estimates for the trip and personal expenses.
Fundraising and tax receipts for the majority of expenses as your time is dedicated to charitable work.
Medical and insurance requirements to ensure personal safety.
Detailed checklist for preparation and packing and get togethers with all participants before we travel.
