Global Citizen Programme in Sri Lanka-It’s time to chase your dream!

It’s more than travelling. You are important!

Sri Lanka has only 13.2% literacyin English - one of the majorissues in education system, whichdramatically reduces theemployability of Sri Lankan youth.

Education

You are important!to spread the awareness of English education, to inspire the student to be

more enthusiastic on English learning!

Sri Lanka has always been hometo a multiethnic and multireligioussociety. Because of the historicfluidity in migration and marriagepatterns, the physical attributes ofthe principal ethnic groups arewidely distributed.

You are important!Both countries have similarity yet a lot of

cultural differences. It’s important to share the harmony and tolerate attitude of Malaysian.

You are important!to educate the future leaders of Sri Lanka

about these issues, and also to give constructive

feedbacks to organizations to improve

waste management.

Do you have the following concerns?

“There was this girl, she came to me after the personality development workshop with one of the classes ended, softly she said :"Yuin, thank you for bringing the world to us." And then she hugged me and then we cried. It's like, you know you are really doing something good that will help these girls in becoming better leaders of their own lives! It's your existence there with them that will further motivate them to work towards what they want, despite all the cruel realities that they might need to face!”

It was a really wonderful experience as I get to experience and enjoy being half a Sri Lankan, being showered by the hospitality of the lovely people, create positive impacts to the girls (from culture understanding to self-development), and also to be inspired and empower myself throughout my 6 weeks of Global Citizen Programme!

Still hesitating? A little story might help… :)
