Hi everyone. My name is Han I'm 28 y.o and i'm a single guy and i'm an english teacher,i live at a small village in bondowoso city it calls kembang. I live with my dad,grandma,sister and my brother. My dad's name is Zen he is an english teacher for elementary in local school around my village,he is about 50 y.o now. My brother is Roy,he is 24 y.o and he works at a small printing office as image designer. My grandma is Fatimah,she is about 69 y.o now. She is as a housewife in our house,she just cook food for us,she doesn't work anymore. My little sister is Umamah,she is 5 y.o and she is in kindergarten school now. My parents devorced many years ago,thats why my mom doesn't stay with us.My mom lives with her new husband in other village in Bondowoso. There are 3 languages spoken in bondowoso like Indonesian,Javanese,Madurese. Indonesian is our official language.. My family speak all of those languages. I can speak Indonesian,english fluently,estonian,little arabic and local languages javanese,sundanese or madurese.. my dad speaks Indonesian,english and arabic fluently and he speaks local languages too.. my brother,sister,and grandma can understand english 80% and they speak Indonesian,madurese and javanese. My village has great nature,it isn't hot but it isn't cold too. I'll say it is cool and fresh here.. there are many living plants in my village like coconut trees,rice fields,cacao plantations,watermelon plantations,vegetables and many other things around.Tobacco is also common here.. so my village is green view.My village is very strategic it is about 7 minutes to the central of Bondowoso and it is also near to the mountain,we can see the view of the mountain very clear from my village.We can also go for hiking to the mount,it is about 1,5 hours by feet. My house has 2 private rooms for volunteers,one living room,traditional kitchen,dining room,bathroom and toilet. There are 3 more rooms for my family to sleep at. I have 2 motorbikes as transportations..we can use them for going to teach and for going somewhere to see around bondowoso. There is wifi in my house for internet access,it is unlimited access. There are also fans in every each rooms whenever needed,we don't have air conditioning because we don't need it. My village is always cool in 2 seasons, dry season(summer) and rain season..summer which usually occurs more often. Volunteers will get breakfast,lunch, and dinner in my house. Sometimes we have dinner outside.. foods and drinks are free to have. Eat whenever you are hungry,its very welcome or you may also cook by your self if you want to make western food. All about those are so flexible ;). I built a small English Course with my dad to make students in Bondowoso better of education especially English.we create two types of study groups like private class and collective class.. we teach private students in their own house,so we move from house to house and collective class students is in my house. We also teach students at my dad's school on monday and thursday. Volunteers will have day off twice in a week sunday and tuesday,where you can use your free time to go for a walk, climb a mountain, go to the beach or visit neighbor city around bondowoso. You can also come with me for hang out with my friends at cafe in the town. My home english course is none benefit project/it isn't profitable project it is kind of a half charity.. So we really need volunteers who has the same vision as us. People from around the world from any backround and any various educational backgrounds are the most welcome to join our project and being volunteers.
