The United States has reaffirmed its commitment to investing in youth and strengthening its partnership with Sri Lanka. On Thursday, a new group of U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers was sworn in during a ceremony in Colombo, marking the second group of Volunteers to return to Sri Lanka following the program’s relaunch last year.
The U.S. Embassy in Colombo emphasized that this event highlights the growing collaboration between the two nations and their mutual dedication to education and cross-cultural exchange.
The Volunteers, who arrived in September 2024, have undergone 12 weeks of rigorous training in Sinhala or Tamil, Sri Lankan culture, and teaching methodologies.
Over the next two years, they will serve as English instructors in schools across the Central and Uva provinces. In collaboration with Sri Lankan teachers and school leaders, they aim to enhance English education in rural areas
