My experience at Kandy the school was great! Before this, I had never taught English, but it has provided me with valuable skills that are extremely transferable. The food was amazing, and learning about the Sri Lankan culture was very interesting for me - thank you to Nissa and the rest of your family for making this a great experience!

This was such a wonderful experience! It was my first Worldpackers volunteer position and I felt welcomed immediately by the host family. This opportunity is hard work but so well worth it to contribute to the kids' learning journey. The food is amazing and so is the atmosphere, you can feel it! Thank you again Nisa for this opportunity!! :)

This volunteering experience was life changing. I will remain friends with the family for life. We enjoyed card games, cooking and day trips together each day. I will miss them very much. As for the school, the children are so sweet and determined to learn. The teachers have such passion and love for the children and their learning. It was very special to be a part of their journey. I love the routine of the day. We start at roughly 8am and finish around 12.30/1. The rest of the day we were free to explore Kandy/ other places :) I would really reccomend and hope to return myself :) thank you

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I cannot recommend it enough! The food was amazing, and Nisa and her family are so helpful in traveling tips and telling you about Sri Lankan culture. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were safe and comfortable, and they were kind enough to be flexible and accommodating with their plans for everyone. They truly create a family environment for all the volunteers
