I had an amazing experience volunteering at Yayasan Taman Widya Kumara. The host, Novia, is always very helpful and committed, and you can truly see how much she cares about the children and their future. I also really enjoyed our conversations about Balinese culture. You can ask her anything, and she is always happy to share her knowledge and experiences. The children are really sweet and eager to learn. You are always encouraged to bring your own ideas into the lessons and have a lot of freedom to create and adapt them yourself. Overall, I think this is a great volunteering opportunity! 😊

We stayed for 2 weeks and had an incredible experience. Teaching the kids and seeing how excited they were when getting things right was rewarding! It was an extremely fulfilling experience and one we would recommend. One thing to note is the actual teaching hours are only 8 per week, rather than the 18 hours advertised. You teach 3-5pm Monday to Thursday. Apart from that the whole experience was amazing. Novia really cares about the children and helping them to improve. Mia, the homestay host was extremely hospitable during our entire stay and the breakfast she cooks is delicious!

Bu Novia and the staff were incredibly kind and made the experience easy and fun. I enjoyed the accommodation as well as getting to know all of the children. I would highly recommend this experience to any and all travelers, as the two weeks I spent with them will stay with me forever. It is truly such a great environment and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet other travelers, the staff, and of course, the children. Terima kasih banyak yaaaa!!!!! Sampai jumpa...

I had the pleasure of being with Novia and the children for almost 3 weeks - a highlight of my time in Bali. The school is very relaxed and the kids are very energetic and sweet. It was an easy balance of morning free time and three days off a week, and I looked forward to seeing everyone in the afternoons. The school is located in a beautiful village, about a 25min drive from the organization so it was easy to go into town for anything you might need. The homestay I was at was lovely and I felt very welcomed and included by the family. I would love to come back one day.
