Interested in making a difference..directly changing lives in a positive way? The TRIP volunteer experience offers personal challenge and the opportunity to work hard while having lots of fun. Volunteers welcome for our next trip April 12 - 26, 2012. Click on Volunteer Experience on the Home Page to see what it is in store.

The annual fund raising event hosted by the Pilot Tavern was a great success raising $20,000. With this, we can start work on the reconstruction of the main building of the school. Good news for the families and children in Sri Lanka.

For the next two years, TRIP will be devoting its resources to completing the rebuild of the school. Have a look at the TRIP School Story on this album.

The volunteers did an amazing job completing most of the work on one building at the school. Check out our story on the TRIP Team 8 album.

TRIP Team 8 is going to start a new project - rebuilding schools. Follow their volunteer adventure on the Team 8 Photo Album.

TRIP`s event is at the Pilot Tavern (Toronto) September 30. Join us to meet volunteers, learn more about TRIP and have some fun! Click for more details.

For his 8th birthday, Alex Gumley asked for donations to TRIP instead of presents. Thanks to his caring $260 is on the way to Sri Lanka to help kids over there. YEAH Alex!!

In June, 50 volunteers representing all six TRIP teams had a reunion and BBQ. (See photos left hand column.) It was fun to meet up with old friends, make new ones and celebrate the return of Team #6

Volunteers are aleady signing up for the 7th volunteer experience in Sri Lanka. Think about joining up by visiting info@tripca.org. Once again we will build new homes for some families who are living in quite desolate conditions. We have room for more people! The dates are scheduled for departure on April 15 and return on the 29th. When we get closer, it could vary by a day either way depending on ideal flights.

In April 2006, Softchoice funded three homes in our tsunami village and four volunteers came to help build them. Now the team that creates Soctchoice's philanthropic strategy is returning with more than 20 volunteers and plans to build a computer lab in a Tangalle primary school...and much more! See the 04/06 guys in action and get insight into the volunteer adventure.
