Description: Global Crossroad organizes internship Sri-Lanka program especially for international students in the differing areas of orphanages, sustainable agriculture and conservation, English teaching, and health care. Global Crossroad can offer internship in Sri-Lanka in any area, related to Sri-Lanka, in collaboration with our local partners. Areas of Sri-Lanka internship include (but are not limited to):

* Teaching English
* Rehabilitation
* Orphanage
* Women issues
* Peace and Development
* Health sector
* Sri-Lankan Culture
* Journalism

Under the Sri-Lanka internship program, the intern engages in daily project activities. In most cases, interns develop a report paper in a particular area of interest by working closely with the Asia volunteers' project staff. Generally, the director of this project serves as a supervisor for the intern. As an intern, you stay with host families who live near the project in which you are involved. Most of the time, the director of the project will work to help you successfully complete your field report. Please contact Global Crossroad if you need any help locating information and materials for your internship program. In order to get the most out of your internship position in Sri-Lanka, Global Crossroad recommends at least two weeks of language and culture programs. These programs will provide you with a necessary, comprehensive start in exploring the every day issues of Sri-Lanka. Many times, language difficulties hinder the effectiveness of interning. Furthermore, it is possible to organize extra tutorials with experts of particular areas with additional fees. Global Crossroad suggests that you correspond with us if you have special needs for your internship.

Highlights: With sunny beaches, majestic ancient cities, beautiful wildlife, wondrous traditions, and smiling people, Sri Lanka is a true paradise for travelers and volunteers. In Sri Lanka, holding the palms of the hands close together against the chest is a gesture wishing goodbye, respect, devotion or loyalty - and it is also a polite welcome. When you are a volunteer in Sri Lanka, be sure to keep this friendly gesture in mind as you encounter some of the most welcoming people in the world - the Sri Lankans. As this nation suffers from a heart breaking twenty years of civil war and political unrest, there exist many areas where volunteers can support the local Sri Lankan people and its children. Therefore, Global Crossroad, on the request of many local organizations, develops a cross-cultural, volunteer opportunity to all interested international volunteers. Our volunteer projects in Sri Lanka are challenging and educational - they are sure to make your Sri Lankan, volunteering experience unique, unforgettable, and everlasting.
