It was an incredible experience. We taught English to the children, teenagers and adults of the school together with the teachers. They organized many activities that we did in our free time such as trips, cooking classes and the discovery of local customs and traditions. The most exciting part was getting to know all of them and people of the school, who were always kind and welcoming. A special thanks to Tiara who organized everything and helped us in everything. A memory that will remain within us forever. Really recommended!!

This was my first experience of volunteering and I couldn't be luckier. Everyone welcomed me,all teachers are very lovely, explaining and supporting you with anything you need (inside and outside class). Tiara, the director of the school, puts a lot of effort on showing the local culture and creates many activities during the weekend. Teaching class to those kids is amazing, they are very polite and put a lot of attention on learning English. I came as a volunteer and leave as a friend 💖 IMPORTANT: A volunteering visa is requested to volunteer in Indonesia

I had a lovely experience with this host. They offer volunteering at several different locations - I was placed in a school in a small town called the school as an english teacher. My overall experience was lovely and the staff took great care of me and made sure I was safe during my travels. They also make a huge effort to engage you in activities (if you want to), which is nice, specially if you travel alone as I did. My stay here was so great, I even decided to lengthen my stay from 2 months to about 4 months. I could not recommend it enough.

I had an absolutely amazing time in the school!! Right from the start, I was welcomed as part of the family. My host, Ms. Tiara, is such a warm and caring person. In my opinion, her generosity deserves an award. The best part was all the activities we planned alongside our volunteer work at the school. Before I started, I couldn't even imagine how much I would learn about Indonesian culture and traditions. We visited so many places and took part in so many events that it really broadened my horizons. A piece of my heart has definitely stayed there. Thank you so much, the school!

My time spend in the school was wonderful! The owner Mrs Tiara was genuinely one of the warmest and most kindhearted people I've ever met. Everyone there from Mrs Tiara to the teachers our tour guides (shout out Lini) and even the other volunteers added so much to my experience. The accommodations were more than I expected and I truly felt part of a community which made a meaningful impact. Outside of volunteering I had plenty of free time to explore the school and immerse myself in the local culture. I'm looking forward to going ban and highly recommend to anyone who's thinking about traveling

Volunteering at the school has been one of the best experiences. If you want to learn more about Indonesian culture and tradition, meet locals and make an impact, you should definitely come here. The host is amazing and her team as well. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The teaching activity is well structured and there is room for your own ideas as well. There is honestly nothing to improve. I've had the best time here and ended up extending my stay. Please come here abd support this project.

This has been the most incredible experiences that I have ever had! I got to the school without knowing a single thing about the place, and I have left with only the feeling of wanting to go back! With teaching, the school has been incredible, all the team of teachers is super dedicated and help the children and adults learn in a very inspiring way! The host and teachers also made me feel at home even when being so far from mine, they organised lots of activities which helped me meet locals, share experiences with them and fall in love with the school and its people. Can't wait to go back!!

Katherine was an amazing volunteer. She always said "yes" to new experiences, stayed enthusiastic in every activity, and was genuinely eager to connect with local people. She brought positive energy, adapted easily, and made a meaningful contribution to our community. We truly appreciated having her with us and would happily recommend her to any host.

What's important for me while volunteering is to contribute to local community in a meaningful way. I felt truly valued and engaged during my stay here. The staff were very kind, motivated and open. And the students were so happy to meet you! The English lessons were structured enough to give you support and flexible enough to allow you to be creative with how you engage students. During our weekends there usually were organized activities to show nearby attractions, which was really nice, we visited local markets, waterfalls, tea plantation. I would not hesitate coming here again.

The school is my second home. Here the host's attention to detail is another level. The staff will take care of you every day in every situation. The students are very sweet. Plus you will have a private room with a private bathroom. The meals are very tasty too. This experience changed my life because I got back the motivation to teach. the school is a peaceful place full of kind and hard-working people. The host plans fun activities for you every week so you will get to know more about javanese culture. If you come here you wont regret, you will be full of love and good care.
