Sri Lanka Trip 2025 Students
Noelle, Tammy, Annabelle and Ben (Grade 11), and Gaspar (Grade 9), are five high school students from Germany, France, and Spain who connected at the International School of Hamburg. Some play sports, others take on student council or the Duke of Edinburgh Award, but they all share a genuine desire to explore, reach out, and make a difference. Together, they joined the Sri Lanka Project, which meant months of planning, fundraising, learning about local schools’ challenges, situational awareness, and training in first aid. Balancing schoolwork and everyday life, they also bonded through group activities before they arrived in Sri Lanka. Once there, they brought curiosity, warmth, and a readiness to support the local communities -whether playing games with kindergartners, bridging language gaps with laughter, or painting classrooms together. Their journey formed a deeper connection among them, revealing how service can be more than just travel. Now that they’re back, each oversees one project inspired by what they learned, seeing how small steps can ripple into real change. In this podcast, they share the moments that nudged them out of their comfort zones, the friendships that grew, and the sense of responsibility they carry forward.
