Tanja's Volunteer Experience

She is a great person that I have met who is with a kind heart and also she is passionate about social services. During the short period of time she stayed here she managed to raise around 1400 Euros and give donations to children orphanages in Panadura,Kandy and Batticaloa. It was nice to associate her as a friend during her staying in Sri Lanka.

Cricket World Cup 2011

This was the biggest event so far that I joined as a volunteer. It was such a nice experience to work with more than hundred people for more than ten days. I was leading group of 3 people to help the organizers with accreditations, Security and various activities. I got to know good people through this and it helped me to broaden my network so I’m very happy that I joined this as a volunteer.

Marketa's Volunteer Experience

She came to Sri Lanka to work with Samadhi Foundation in Matara. She helped poor kids to improve their English knowledge and also she worked on other community development projects as well. She was the first volunteer who came to Sri Lanka after I became the in charge of projects runs by University of Colombo.

Youth The Word

His is an interesting event that I have worked on. It was a Guinness world record break attempt. The Sri Lankan youth worked together to form a human mosaic forming the word ‘Youth’ with 1500 young people. I joined this event as a volunteer and help organizers with crowd handling and stall managing. We were very enthusiastic at the end of the day because we break the previous record set by United States.

Greta's Volunteer Experience

She is a University student from Germany who worked as a volunteer English teacher in Udugama Junior School. She helped those kids to improve their English Skills with games and group activities. It was nice to have a friend like her in Sri Lanka and also I’m very happy that I contribute to arrange her volunteer program here in Sri Lanka.

Life federation was founded back in 2011 it was an initiative of Mr. Warunakantha Perera the president of the organization who I got to know through another AIESEC project I did with Leo club of Bokundara when I was the Vice president for projects in Colombo Central Local Committee also known as CCLC. That year Leo Bokundara President Mr. Manuja De Silva and the project coordinator Mr. Gihan De Silva also board members of the Life Federation.


For the first time AIESEC CCLC started a project with Life federation in June 2011. It was easy for me to work with them as the AIESEC representative because they have worked with me before for an similar kind of project. The main purpose of the project was help school & pre-school children with their English education the project was held in Kandy & Horana. Project was a success and it went nearly 3 months with participation of Volunteers from China , United Kingdom & Czech Republic.

Now for the second time Life federation is working together with AIESEC CCLC for an Education project for Education project and Environmental project which is focused on recycling. I thought to publish the details about upcoming projects of Life federation with AIESEC to help my fellow AIESECers to find potential volunteers for those projects. I hope that you will get enough information about the project from by blog site if you still have any doubts feel free to contact me.
