The Experience
I am Aldi and I live with my family in Kampung Dongi, South Sulawesi, Indonesia which is situated 5 minutes from Sorowako town. My family and I are currently running a project that focuses on building traditional houses in the village. These traditional houses are very important to the local community as a way of preserving our culture and traditions. We also run an after-school english class for the local children and young people.

Coming to Sorowako and staying with Aldi and family was my best decision and I'm so glad I did it! It was such a pleasure to interact with neighbourhood children in the village to teach English and sometimes even Japanese! We went hiking together as well, and they sent me off at bus terminal when I left town! Made me cry... 🥹 Visiting local Jr High School, playing badminton with students, attending wedding, picnic at lakeside, playing cards and chatting over coffee... I made a lot of new friends through Aldi and his mom, the memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

I really enjoyed my experience living with Aldi and his family. I was able to immerse myself into Indonesian life by getting to know them and their friends, as well as trying the local food and learning the traditional culture. Teaching the children basic English was always fun and I highly recommend it. Although life was somewhat rural, that aspect made the experience truly rewarding. Moreover, Lake Matano and its surroundings was really beautiful and to travel there was amazing. I wished I could of stayed there longer as I knew there was plenty more that I could of done and would of enjoyed.

Our time at the project was wonderful and unforgettable. Mama Aldi immediately makes you feel so welcome and at home, with amazing food too! The English lessons are quite relaxed, super accessible for first time teachers, and the kids are so sweet. The host family was more than happy to show us around the local area too, including the beautiful lake nearby, and one time the kids took us on a mountain trek! The facilities are quite basic as the village itself is very rural, so you truly get the chance to immerse yourself in Sulawesi culture.
