Sri Lanka expedition reviews

What a wonderful expediton, memories that last a life time. Missing the place so much its been over a year since i was last there, but the kids smiled we helped are still vivid in my memory. Working in the special needs school was so rewarding and seeing how hard the parents worked with us was amazing. Especially building the fence and painting schools they just never stopped. Oh how i spoke for hours when I came back that much that my parents probably started to get annoyed!!!!!

Everyone finds something in the expedition that is unique to them. The people that should do this most are shy people like I was. If it looks scary, there's all the more reason to do it!

Excellent itinerary which eased the group into the culture of Sri Lanka. The group have made excellent progress and have bonded as a result of this trip. They have learnt a lot about themselves. This was just the right mix of challenge and independence (with the knowledge that back up was close at hand if ever required). The project was a real eye opener for all

I has an absolutely fantastic time and would definitely take part in another expedition. I will never forget the experience I have had and the people that I shared it with.
