My Travel Story

by: Pasan Himasara Start Date: Apr 24, 2024 - End Date: Aug 23, 2024
After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology this June, I'm excited to announce that I'll be volunteering in Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka, through a program with Plan My Gap Year.


Sri Lanka faces some of the highest suicide rates worldwide, a concerning issue highlighted by the World Health Organisation. With soaring mental health needs in the country, there's a pressing demand for support and resources. Mental health has always been a passion of mine, and I believe everyone deserves access to quality care. This volunteering opportunity aligns perfectly with my goal to make a meaningful impact where mental health resources may be scarce. I'm eager to contribute to the mental health initiatives in Ambalangoda and gain valuable experience that will shape my future in psychology.


By supporting this campaign, you're helping me immerse myself in a new culture and learn from the local community. Your contributions will directly support volunteers like me in providing essential services to hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and the National Institute of Mental Health in Sri Lanka.


The campaign's goal amount covers all expenses associated with this volunteering trip. Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you and making a positive difference together!
