Welcome to the Volunteer Program in Sri Lanka for Western Music, Painting, and Aesthetic subjects! We invite individuals who have a passion for music, art, and other aesthetic subjects to join us in improving the skills of rural Sri Lankan children. This program is designed to provide a unique opportunity to work with young people and help them learn new skills while promoting creativity, self-expression, and teamwork. Our program is located in the rural areas of Kurunegala, where we have partnered with local schools to provide the children with the opportunity to learn Western music, painting, etc. As a volunteer in this program, you will work closely with the children, helping them to develop their skills, sharing your knowledge and experiences with them, and create a positive and supportive environment for learning. We believe that every child deserves access to a quality education that includes opportunities for creative expression and physical activity.

Through our program, volunteers will gain valuable experience in teaching and working with children, as well as an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture and traditions of Sri Lanka. You will also have the chance to explore the natural beauty of the country and connect with local communities. Join us in making a difference in the lives of rural Sri Lankan children through the power of music, and art.
