The Incredible Experience of Lucille During Her Humanitarian Project in Sri LankaSri Lanka

What were the missions assigned on site?

In Sri Lanka, I had the opportunity to take part in 3 different missions (dogs, turtles, and children).

  • Turtles: cleaning the pools, feeding the turtles, washing them, cleaning beaches, etc.
  • Children: supporting the teachers and helping them with educational activities and lessons.
  • Dogs: taking care of the animals and giving lots of love to the little ones.

What this experience brought me…

This experience gave me so much. First of all, traveling alone was incredible. Seeing how these roles work in real life was very enriching, and during my free time I was able to travel, explore a new country, and discover its culture!

Would I recommend this mission?

Yes, I would recommend it because the work is very rewarding, but it also gives you the chance to travel and fully enjoy the country.

Would I recommend Freepackers?

I would recommend Freepackers because it is very easy to sign up and communicate with the team. Everything feels personalized and very well organized.
