An experience, place and people that will forever mark my heart with the most wholesome memories. I spent two weeks volunteering here (8 days) teaching the kids (not enough time, I would stay here for months if I could). I taught 2 classes from 2pm - 4pm. There is a lot of flexibility in what you teach them (you plan the class and the lessons everyday). The kids, oh, the kids, are so sweet, open and eager to learn. I already miss them so much. Stunning property! Accommodation is hostel style. Gets hot at night! Thank you, Wayan & Wayan, Lia, Susi, Yesi, and the people of the organization <3

Wayan and his family were incredibly generous and kind. I spent 4 weeks with them and it truly felt like a home away from home. I am so thankful for this experience and wish I could have stayed longer! The kids were sweethearts and saying goodbye was so difficult :((

Meeting children who were eager to learn and so engaged in the process was truly inspiring. The location itself is breathtaking, surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful and immersive environment perfect for both teaching and personal reflection. The staff was always attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and providing constant support throughout my time there. It was a journey of mutual learning and growth, making it both challenging and fulfilling.

Amazing experience! The children were so adorable and the property is stunning! It is in the middle of nowhere so it is a lot of calm days relaxing by the pool and less exploring cities.

I had a wonderful time with Wayan and his family. I felt so welcomed as a solo traveler which definitely made a difference. The site is so nice, with 2 learning areas, a playground and a pool which you can go in as you please. Wayan happily arranged a driver for me to go to Canggu on my weekend off which I would definitely recommend! The food was also delicious and the girls that work there catered well to me being vegetarian. Thank you for having me! :)

About the project

Hosted by Wayan Berata

Wayan’s motivation stems from a tough experience on a cruise ship in 2007. Unable to connect due to language barriers, he decided to provide English education and cultural exchange in Seraya, Bali.
After 14 years, their engagement with the community has transformed their village in Bali. Initially wary, locals now welcome travelers, who interact with over 20 kids, teaching English and sports.

Guests are essential for the project's success, making learning enjoyable and financially supporting ongoing activities and facility improvements. The impact speaks volumes: Over 30 students secured jobs thanks to their English proficiency, and 15+ received scholarships for university, all thanks to Wayan’s project.

The traveler is solely responsible for any and all other requirements relating to travel logistics, including but not limited to tickets, passports, local transportation, travel insurance, and visas.
