This program is ideal for

Individuals who possess a deep respect for diversity and a passion for fostering understanding among different faiths and cultures. Volunteers should demonstrate empathy, open-mindedness, and a commitment to promoting peace and harmony within communities through constructive dialogue and collaborative action.

These activities are organised in communities to improve understanding among the different community groups (religious and ethnic). In addition, it helps to increase community driven actions to prevent conflict, promote peace and strengthen community agency.

Within communities, the Inter-faith and Community Dialogue program promotes positive dialogue between various religious and ethnic groups. It fosters respect for one another, teamwork, and mutual understanding through planned activities. The program's objectives are to reduce conflict, advance peace, and provide communities the tools they need to make positive changes on their own by encouraging communication and collaboration. The coordination of these programs is greatly aided by volunteers, who represent the virtues of compassion, tolerance, and cultural awareness. Together, they strive to forge closer ties within the community, overcome divisions, and develop a culture that is more robust and peaceful.

[The best time to come would be between February - November. Yes, some activities are project specific such as the Youth Peace Camp and the Skill Acquisition and Economic Empowerment programme. However, with skill acquisition programmes volunteers can work with people who we have already trained who have established their businesses and are training others.]

While volunteering, the volunteers have a variety of options to enjoy their free time, ensuring a balanced mix of relaxation, exploration, and cultural immersion:

  • Hiking, Yoga
  • Visit the Zoo and Museum
  • Naraguta Leather Works (It is a little village that specialises in the production of leather products wholesale and retail).
  • Visit Peace Island Lake(for Boat and Horse Rides)
  • Feeding Animals at WildLife Game Reserve
  • Visit the Farmer’s Market
  • Visit Orphanages 
  • Visit the 10 Commandments Monuments (Tourist Attraction)
  • O-Zero, Tin city , and Net Cafes (Refreshment and Relaxation)

[ Please note that other activities can be suggested when we have more information about the volunteers such as age, religion, and hobbies. ]
