There are many great causes to support. But there is nothing quite so meaningful as going somewhere to actually help someone in need.
This inspired TRIP Canada to start volunteer building trips to Sri Lanka following the devastating tsunami of December 2004.
Through international volunteering TRIP provides regular Canadians with the opportunity to experience the adventure of going to help people in developing countries. Our volunteers spend two weeks working alongside families and local workers rebuilding home in a small community in south west Sri Lanka.
TRIP’s seventh team of volunteers are already planning the April 2011 journey and we invite you to participate in an experience that broadens the mind, challenges you physically and nourishes the soul.
You will have a meaningful experience. Work hard. Touch people as a global citizen. Create a lifetime of memories. Change lives in a positive way. Make a lasting contribution.
Your TRIP Team Leader has been to the community in Sri Lanka eight times and will make sure you have a safe, enjoyable, rewarding experience.
