My Travel Story

by: Kiren Bains Start Date: Jan 4, 2017 - End Date: Oct 3, 2017
Hi, my name is Kiren Bains and I will be travelling to Sri Lanka for 5 weeks in May 2017 with SLV Global.

As a second year Psychology student I will be undertaking a mental health placement where I will live as a local with a Sri Lankan family. This is a great prospect in order to gain hands on clinical experience. I will work in a clinical environment in psychiatric and rehabilitation centres, running therapeutic activities for patients. I will also teach English to young adults and children and work with individuals with special needs.

I hold mental health close to my heart as it affects so many people. We are fortunate in this country to have access to such services. In countries like Sri Lanka, they are not so fortunate. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a real difference.

This placement isn’t Government funded therefore your donation will be one step closer towards helping me to help others who aren't so fortunate.

Thank you
