ngtlanka Peace Centre, Volunteering

Sarah from Denmark

Two incredible months at Peace centre Sarah Johns Nielsen from Denmark For approximately two years ago, I was 19 years old and had just finished the danish version of high school. I knew I wanted to take a break from school, and I knew I wanted to explore the world. To do that, I had to earn quite a lot of money, so I got a job and worked for half a year. Up until my travels to Asia I had only visited western countries, and I felt an urge to explore the eastern side of the globe. I wanted to widen my perspective on the world and the people who lived in it, and it became clear to me, that the best way to do that was to get a close and very concentrated experience with locals. That let me to consider doing voluntary work. My way to Peace centre in Mutur was through the danish organisation Global contact. I had heard of it from friends, and as I looked through their website, I quickly decided that I wanted to volunteer in Sri Lanka.

I decided to have volunteering experience after I had realized that it was time for me to do something useful; that of course does not mean something useful for myself such just working for earning my own life and living in the comfort of my country. When I say useful I mean doing something helpful for others who actually need some real support, doing something to be kept for long in the future. The only thing I knew was that I could offer my volunteer service as an English teacher and that I wanted to do that in an Asian country (just because when I think of Asia countries I think about their meditative and calm atmospheres), so I started my research. I looked in the list of project proposed by SCI and I finally found 2 long term project in Sri Lanka, one held in Kandy, one of the main city in the Central Province, and the other in Muthur; I applied with no hesitation. I didn’t know anything about those places at that time except for some basic geography knowledge of Sri...
