This was my first experience volunteering in a school and it was absolutely amazing! The work itself was fun and meaningful, the kids are adorable and energetic. We worked less than 5 hrs per day all week days so there was plenty to do when not working too! The best part of this experience was definitely the host family though!! Nisa, Malik and Melina were amazing!! They are definitely my Sri Lankan family now!! They give you travel tips and advice, help with any and all problems you might bump into, every night is a private cozy cooking class in their home. They are the best!!!!

Nisa and Malik set the bar high for other hosts. This has been the most warm, welcoming stay ever. I felt part of the family so quickly and it'd been a while I've laughed so much in such a short time. They take care of you like your family would and the food is absolutely delicious. When you're not playing cards with them, you can discover Sri Lanka and they'll give you tips. Also working with the kids has been beyond expectations. They are so enthusiast and open and easy to entertain. You help them with their crafts, workbooks, dances… Big thanks to Nisa, Malik, Melina and Mashi and Molly.

This was my second time at the school this year. I love it so much and I just cannot wait to come back again! Nisa, Malik, and Melina are part of my family now. If you want to experience a true local adventure and leave your mark on the lives of students, this is the right place for you. Thank you family-to! See you again next year!

Malik, Nisa and Melina (Mashi and Molly) are the nicest people and make you feel like home. They help you organize activities if you want to see around and are always there for you. I learned a lot about the local culture and food. The time we spent together after school, talking and playing cards, are among my best memories. The teaching experience at KGIS was great, the kids are cute and smart. It's definitely one of the best experiences I've had, and I recommend it 100%! I will miss my Sri Lankan family ❤️

When I arrived here I felt completely at home. Nisa, Malik and Melina take you in as if you're one of their own. I felt safe immediately. They really try to get the most out of your travels by giving you recommendations. They also give you space if needed. The kids are lovely, very eager to learn and meet new people. They are very openminded and easily attached, it was a pleasure teaching them and a difficult goodbye. I can only recommend coming to Sri Lanka and spend time with this family while volunteering here. They will forever be in my heart.

This is probably the best place where you can be a volunteer in Sri Lanka if you love kids! I had an amazing experience, no only teaching English to the funniest and cutest children, but also living with this loving family. I learned countless things from my life in KGIS, but most important, I made friends for life. I recommend this project if you like working with kids and want to have a truly local experience. I hope I can be back soon❤️

Not only did I have amazing time with children and other volunteers, but I had opportunity everyday to eat national dishes and get to know Srilankan culture. Hosts were very kind and supportive, Nisa is the person with whom you can talk about anything, she is intelligent and you can learn many things from her about life and philosophy. Her husband is so humble and humorous, we could laugh before our stomach hurt. Suggest going, you can have wonderful memories and amazing time with great hosts and teachers.

It's was a great experience to support the school by teaching kids English, math and social behaviour. The kids are great and atmosphere is also very nice. The place is 30min from Kandy, so if you want to go to town you can take a bus. The accommodation is simple and it's worth to bring a mosquitoes spray, which will be useful for Sri Lanka in general.
