Live diary of volunteer work in Sri Lanka

Meet Lewis Smith and Dani Mason, best mates from Cardiff who are currently out in tropical Sri Lanka taking part in two volunteer placements with gap year organisation Travellers Worldwide.

This dynamic duo will split their time in Sri Lanka between teaching in schools for under-privileged children and working in an elephant orphanage. Over the next three months, they'll be sending gapyear.com regular updates to tell us all about life volunteering in Sri Lanka.

Follow them as they teach children of the wonders of fruit, celebrate Vesak, get covered in elephant poo, find the World's End, visit tea factories and much, much more...
