Teaching English to Buddhist monks is a great opportunity for volunteers to closely understand the age old Buddhist rituals and traditions while teaching English to the young monks. As a volunteer, you will work in a temple/school for young monks traditionally known as Pirivena. This school is a project of Global Crossroad's partner organization which assists in developing the self-reliance of the needy monks in Sri Lanka .

Volunteers will spend their quality time with the monk students who range in age from 8 to 21 and help them to learn English through interaction. You can also teach them any other subjects of your interest that would benefit the children. This project has been one of the most cherished opportunities for most of our volunteers helping in Sri Lanka … come and find out why.
