This Community project in Asia is implemented in 15 schools in Bali and in Lombok, where children are at the beginning of their educational journey and have the opportunity to learn English from a young age. The teaching approach is open and flexible. By encouraging children to attend school and teaching them a few very simple English phrases, you may help spark a lifelong habit of learning.
When joining the project, you can choose whether to participate in the kindergarten program (ages 3-6) or the primary school program (ages 7-12). If your level of English is low, it is recommended to choose the projects with younger children, as they involve more playful activities rather than theoretical lessons.
Kindergartens are open only from 8 AM to 10 AM, while schools operate in late mornings and early afternoons. It is possible to choose only one of the two programs or combine them: two hours in the morning in kindergartens and three hours in the afternoon in primary schools. This combination allows you to participate in the project for 5 to 6 hours per day.
This project is available for families. Our advisors will provide personalized recommendations based on your children’s ages, the destination, and the type of mission.

Meals are prepared on-site by the team three times a day. Only local food is served. Indonesian cuisine is tasty and very diverse. Typical dishes include Mie Goreng (fried noodles with vegetables), Nasi Goreng (fried rice with vegetables), or Gado Gado (mixed vegetables with peanut sauce).
For those who do not eat meat, Indonesian cuisine makes extensive use of tofu and tempeh (soy-based foods). Breakfast includes pancakes, fresh fruits, toast, etc. Tea, coffee, and purified water are available at the house. We do not recommend drinking tap water.
