This moslem impact traveler program takes place in Bagek Kembar Mangrove Education Center, West Lombok. Moslem impact travelers help kids at nature school every afternoon learn Qur'an and languages such as English, French, German, Arabic, or any language they speak, using fun and interactive activities like games, storytelling, and conversation practice. A formal teaching certificate (TESOL, etc.) is required.
Moslem impact travelers stay in a 3 x 6 meter mini cabin inside the area, share meals with the community, and experience daily village life. Outside teaching hours, they can explore gilis (small island) and cultural sites with guidance from local hosts.
We organize activities with a flexible approach, without a fixed schedule or itinerary. Working with children often requires extra patience and adaptability, as sessions may depend on their mood and availability.
Main Activities:
- Support local guides in learning English, French, German, Arabic, or any language you speak
- Help prepare simple learning materials and teaching aids
- Lead educational games and storytelling sessions
- Practice daily conversations with local guides in your language
- Participate in cultural and community activities with local residents
Schedule:
Teaching sessions: 5–6 hours per day (morning or afternoon)
Four days per week
Free time to explore waterfalls, rice fields, and village life
