In this time SERVE has hosted several volunteers that have made an important contribution towards our work.

Information for Parents and Guardians

Safety is our highest priority. Our office and projects are located in residential areas in the southern suburbs of Colombo. We only allow volunteers to stay in our provided accommodation where we can guarantee the safety. One of our team members meets the volunteer at the airport and bring them to the provided accommodation. Our staff will introduce vounteers to the neighbourhood and will be the local contact for any problems or questions. 

We require all our volunteers to dress adequately and respect the local traditions and customs. We ask our volunteers to follow our advice to ensure their safety. SERVE encourages volunteers to explore the country and learn about the Sri Lankan culture. We support volunteers in planning safe trips and provide local contacts for emergencies.
