The volunteers need to assist the students during learning process. We have various classes with different range of ages. Those classes are English, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese. Each class consists of less than 15 students. They are divided into 3 terms : morning, afternoon and evening. Each class runs 90-120 minutes. Modul has been prepared but they can improve it based on the students' needs. Another activities are gardening or farming in our garden or ricefield.
After breakfast the volunteers occasionally have morning class at 9 or 10. Then afternoon at 4 and evening class at 6.30.
The volunteers may be involved in local's agendas or programs such as attending wedding parties, ceremonies, social/ charity events etc. Several local cuisines are provided as well during the stay. Even, we can perform food exchange.
Sunday is time to rest, volunteers can visit and explore tourism places nearby alone or assisted by us or the students, if they'd like :)
