Despite primary school being free in Bali, and the children having a thirst for education, many families struggle with providing the children with adequate learning supplies in Primary School with the additional financial burden of fees in High School. Most parents are farmers and struggle to make a sustainable living past that which they have been born into. By aiding local teachers to provide engaging classes and contributing to local schools giving children a step up educationally, volunteers provide the tools and building blocks for an empowered learning experience.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to teach at various local schools for approx 3-4 hours each day. These schools Volunteers can teach a variety of English Based subjects, games, songs, art, sport, music etc. in learning through fun. Depending on experience or qualifications, some volunteers will be able to teach whole classes on their own or with other Volunteers.
There are three locations volunteers can choose to contribute to; Ubud, Lovina and Lombok. These 3 areas of Indonesia offer different experiences, particularly in regards to free time. However, in regards to the schools and children volunteers can expect to interact with, all are as appreciative and fun in the teaching experience.
We particularly welcome those for whom this is their first visit to Bali. We help with cultural awareness and immersion learning during your training, as well as assisting you to tour Bali through short activity breaks during your weekends and vacations.
