This humanitarian mission in Indonesia supports small local communities in the villages of Ubud and Lombok. This program aims to build and renovate essential infrastructure for the growth and development of communities in Bali. You will assist in various projects such as schools, playgrounds, and public libraries.
You will take part in a variety of tasks, including bricklaying, carpentry, painting, tiling, and landscaping/gardening. A local coordinator will guide and train you alongside local families.
By participating in this social project, you will contribute to local communities while living alongside them. You will be in a relaxed and artistic environment where you will be responsible for renovating and creating drawings and paintings in several kindergartens and primary schools.
Keep in mind that the program aims to support local communities, so tasks may change depending on their needs. For example, at the beginning of 2025, the organization in Bali is working on building a medical clinic in a school in Ubud, while the Lombok project is helping the sea turtle sanctuary construct new tanks to accommodate more turtles.
