SLV is a voluntary organisation which started in 2010. We .. Sarah Watts, Maz Palmer and myself (Kelly Rice) will be loaning our skills as Psychology undergraduates from Cardiff Metropolitan University to this organisation. We will be helping run projects in the local communities with SLV and will be working with individuals who suffer mental health issues in Sri Lanka. 

We will be attending workshops, clinics, schools and other institutions and will be running activities for patients using sensory, music and creative therapies. The workshops will be run by Samutthana, the King's College London resource centre for trauma, displacement and mental health. The aim of Samutthana is to train and support organisations such as SLV and individuals to respond to the psychosocial needs of trauma sufferers i.e tsunami survivors and those who have experienced civil-conflict. 

In addition .. we will be working with individuals with special needs and teaching English to young people and children. We will be using our skills to work with those who may be marginalized in Sri Lankan society and whilst there we will be living as Sri Lankans with a Sri Lankan Family :)

PLEASE PLEASE HELP SUPPORT US! We need to finance this 5 week  voluntary placement and your help will make a HUGE difference. <3 .. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
