Teach IT in Sri Lanka

Help children and adults in Sri Lanka to become computer literate by taking part in our Teach IT project.

 

Volunteers on this project will work in an IT centre which is owned and run by Projects Abroad. The centre is based in the town of Panadura in the Western Province of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankans are eager to learn how to use computers as from developing a better understanding, job opportunities which would not have previously been available to them, present themselves. With IT skills, children also find themselves in a position where they can benefit from all that the worldwide web has to offer.

Volunteers are needed to help teach very basic computer programmes, such as Microsoft Word and Excel; however we also welcome volunteers who are able to help with things like developing databases, networking and web development. This project is suitable for volunteers of all abilities - you don't need to be a computer whiz to be helpful!
