Summary:
Teaching volunteers should look no further than this wonderful program situated in the Tabanan region on the west coast of Bali. This breathtaking region features an abundance of terraced rice paddies, black sand beaches with fantastic surf, and picturesque mountains. Locals here support themselves mainly through farming and tourism, where a sound knowledge of the English language is essential for employment opportunities. This teaching program supports these wonderful, but impoverished families, enabling their children to learn the skills required to better enhance their futures. Volunteers will work to provide free English language lessons to underprivileged children at a non-profit learning center. Around 60 children, ranging in age from 5 – 18 years attend the classes. This project is a great way for international volunteers to learn more about the Balinese people and culture, teach those in need, and spend time exploring this magical location.
