Each year, The Asia Foundation selects an outstanding group of individuals to live and work for six months (July to December 2016) in Sri Lanka as LankaCorps Fellows, allowing them to “explore their roots while giving back.” The fellowship will provide roundtrip international airfare; in-country expenses, including a monthly stipend; and health insurance coverage.
