I made it through games and exercises. The children were very friendly and respectful. They immediately considered me as their teacher. They knew very little English but all I had to do was smile and use gestures. For any help I could asked to the teacher who knew English.
One week the school was closed for a celebration so I cleaned a beach and I started a new activity to renovate a school.
I also participated at a celebration and it was very interesting!
It was a really good experience that I suggest for everyone!

Review of the Nutrition & Health Education, Ubud. It was a very beautiful experience, short but intense! I had the opportunity to get involved first hand, I prepare lessons for the children and explain the topics to them in a simple and playful way. At the end of the week they were very happy and happy that they had learned new things! It was very stimulating and I was sorry I only did it for a week.

The facility I stayed in was quite comfortable and welcoming, the food was good and the local staff was quite present.

The main activities in this project was to feed and clean the turtles and their tanks. I was very happy that we could work with the turtles every day! But that was not all, other activities included beach cleaning and, my favourite, crab catching, which was very fun.
Yet, we had a lot of free time tour, where we could explore the island. The coordinators were very friendly and helpful, they helped us to get taxis or snorkelling tours on the island. They were also very fun people, with which we played football and enjoyed music at the bonfire.
Also all the other staff was very friendly, the food was good aswell, with a mix of western and local dishes.

The volunteering was a great experience and put my out of my comfort zones. I learnt a lot about the culture here in Bali and got to explore some amazing places on my time off.

The team were amazing and the food was really good! Accommodation as well was lovely, just a bit far out from Ubud that I thought.

There needs to be much more description on where volunteers stay and what they will be doing before arrive. I had no idea, turning up blind sighted. Also the program was not only focused on nutrition it was healthcare in general and it just involved teaching which was not specified in the brief.

Country and project I volunteered on.... Bali and English teaching.

Tell us as much as you can about your trip, were there any highlights? What was the volunteering like? ... I had the most amazing time helping children learn English during daily lessons. I will definitely do it again, as I also met the most amazing people.

Comments on local team, food and accommodation...... The staff were so welcoming and created a safe space for everyone.

Improvements........ Longer hours to volunteer.

My volunteering experience in Bali was truly amazing!

The Introduction week was great (we visited Temples, Ubud, a traditional dance show, made Batic Painting & much more!) and after that, my project in the kindergarten started.
You have to work from 8-10h with 30 Minutes break. The kids are 5-6 years old, and don‘t know much English, so you have to teach them the basics very playfully. Working in the kindergarten can be very loud, but overall it‘s fun and the kids have are so sweet and thankfull!

On the afternoon you can chill at the pool or make day trips to waterfalls,go out for dinner in Ubud or even go to the beach (45 Min drive).

On the weekends nearly nobody stays in the accomondation, everyone goes on trips to discover more of Bali.

It was such a great experience and the time went by so fast. I would definetly recommend it!

Pros

The local team is so sweet and very helpfull. I had a surf accident and they really took care of me. They can also help you with visa extention.
The food was very traditional Indonsian food but soo good! Fresh fruit to every meal.
The accomantions are small, but they get cleaned every day. The bathrooms are western.

I really had a great time volunteering here in Bali. It was a great experience and I’m glad to be able to do it. I met such lovely people here in the volunteer community. It feels good to do something on purpose, to have a positive impact on local community and making this world a better place by giving back. I recommend volunteering for everyone. It’s beneficial for others aswell as for oneself. I enjoyed it!

The Team was great! Very loving and welcoming! Always there for us when we have questions or when we have anything to talk about! The food is very delicious and hygienic! The accommodation was satisfying to me. Very clean.
