Dresti House
We need volunteers who want to come to our elementary school to teach English to our students and live a real volunteer experience. We offer our best smile and kindness to make it a memorable and enriching experience that you will always remember all your life. You don't need a high level of English because we need to practice a basic level. You can also play volleyball at break and share activities with teachers and children. In the afternoons you have free time to go out by bike, run or walk through the beautiful rural environment of rice fields. You can also go to the beach by bike. You will have wyfi at home and at school. My family is very welcoming and you will be one more in our house. We will cook delicious food for you every day. On weekends you can explore the island or maybe rent a motorcycle, it is a wonderful adventure to get to the waterfalls of the rivers in the forests of the north of the island.
I am the principal of a rural school and my fellow teachers are good people and very friendly, we are all looking forward to meeting you and we will give you our best kindness. Life here is simple and sincere. Our facilities are humble but we try to offer the best education to our students.

About the experience in: Karangasem, Indonesia
Brazil
A beautiful opportunity to get to know more of the local culture and see a part of Bali that you are not gonna find in the cities. Wayan and his wife received me with care and kindness. The food was great and I was lucky to be able to join two cerimonies in their family Temple. The kids are lovely, playful and kind. Would definetly recommend this experience. Ps: would recommend learning at least a little of Indonesian before arriving at the school; the kids speak very very basic english and it's hard to communicate most of the times. I'm really happy and grateful with what I lived here.

Hi Fernanda, Thank you for such a beautiful review! It was a joy to have you stay with us, share our food, and celebrate at our family temple. The kids loved spending time with you as well, and we completely agree with your great tip about learning some basic Indonesian before visiting the school. Thank you for being such a wonderful guest, we hope to see you again in Bali!

I didn’t spend much time with the school and the family, but I must say that even if it was little time, I felt great. They are fantastic people; they always made sure I was fine and made me feel at ease. Living with them, getting to know the culture, traditions and trying their local food, allowed me to live this trip not as a tourist but as a local. The children at school are wonderful, full of energy and always with a smile on their faces; they greet you warmly and it’s a beautiful thing.

I stayed two weeks at the school and its family. How can I tell you that it was the best experience of my entire life. Its family and he are extraordinarily kind and benevolent. The school showed me Balinese culture in every detail. The children at the school have an incredible thirst for learning. This experience will transform you; I can only recommend it. I do not have enough space to write how deeply this experience changed me. Thank you for everything the school and see you soon. 💖💖

I can honestly say this homestay with the school and his family has been a transformative experience. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious, the room was comfortable and clean, I always felt safe. There is good communication and the children are super sweet. If you want to experience local Balinese culture and authentic style of living this is an unbeatable experience. As a solo woman it was very important to me that everyone was so welcoming and kind. I couldn't recommend this experience more! Please consider this homestay, the children are so grateful and need the help!
