Amelie Lim – Australia, NSW

It was really difficult to choose right organizations to do volunteering. I found lots of volunteering organization in the website but hard to choose which one is cheapest and good service provider. I made a call to RCDP Nepal and India and luckily the people from the organization explained me about the organization and its goal clearly. And I knew that RCDP is one of the trustful organizations from around the world. As I arrived Colombo on 25 th June 2006 Sri Lankan coordinator was picked me well and took me to the RCDP office Galle . I initiated my first week language and cultural program with two more volunteers, which has covered nearly every aspect of the country. The language class was very useful to me. Everything was well organized. You will find someone always there if you need some help.

I was in the orphanage project. The volunteering work was challenging in one hand and rewarding too. People who were there always made us feel comfortable and welcome. We finished our stay here having much familiarities and impressions with RCDP- Sri Lanka.

The children seem very pleasant because of our presence there but now I am little bit saddened leaving these children beyond us. The works that I have done there were providing food to the children, assist them in their cleanliness, teach them and play with them different games. The host family was great and very gracious. We got chance to have a delicious food in the family which was really different experience in the life.

The strong ties we built and the rewarding experiences that we made here were really priceless. I further suggest to upcoming volunteers to join this RCDP- Sri Lanka program, which will be an unforgettable experience in your life.
