Dara Lombok Foundation

Dara Lombok Foundation is an institution the place to learning english. learning english here is happy because the atmosphere is comfortable and beautiful. Even though our place is not too luxurious, but it is comfortable to study in, plus teachers are friendly. Therefore, we really need the help of volunteers to teach English language so that our students can get more experience.

Teaching english here is only 4 hours in a day and volunteers will teach only 5 days in a week. 2 days free teaching and we are going to go traveling around here and enjoy unique culture and beautiful beaches.

Volunteers will get many experiences here, we will bring you to see traditional dance, handy craft that very unique, and you can learn how to process lombok oil that is made from coconut, and you can see how the process making traditional coffee or lombok coffee.

On holidays, volunteers can enjoy the sunset on the beach while enjoying a cup of coffee. The natural conditions of the teaching environment will provide a different feel, a fresh and healthy atmosphere.
Not only the beach can be enjoyed, there are also beautiful waterfalls and teaching places available nearby, as well as protected forests which can be visited as a water source for the community.

For the success of this social project, we need volunteers help for a donation only 10 US$/day. this donation to cover volunteers food and traveling around here. we hope volunteers don't mind with this donation.

I am Majri and Hapizin as a management of Dara Lombok Poundation. I and Hapiz was as students of university at one collage and now we are as english teacher at one school. We have one thought, that's building a society with English language skills, based on thought we built this institution to improve the education of teenagers, especially in English language skills, and to get that goal of course we need some help from Volunteer. Volunteers who comes to help us is going to get some experiences about our culture and enjoy some beautiful view at lombok. We offer exchange culture and uniqu thing that volunteer never find at another place. Becoming a volunteer by teaching English at our place will be fun because the place and accommodation we offer are complete and safe for the volunteers, besides that, the students will also be very happy and of course will welcome the volunteers with new learning motivation. We also offer traditional food as daily consumption for volunteers which is definitely tasty and delicious

When I talk with Dara he told me that I would stay in the school residence, but when I arrived there he told me that his boss didn’t want the volunteers to sleep there anymore, so I had to stay at one of the teachers house. The house was is a local village, the bed was on the floor, the bathroom outside and there wasn’t a shower.
All the people were amazing and welcoming but I couldn’t stay there for 20 days, so I left before.

The school is undergoing repairs and construction of classrooms so the room that usually for volunteer to stay are used by the workers. Because we have make a deal and for me it's not good to cancel the volunteer to come.

I volunteered at Dara Lombok for 2 weeks, and it was such an amazing experience. All of the teachers and students are so kind and they made me feel so welcome in their community. The teachers also organised trips for us including going to waterfalls, the beach and the mountains. I would highly recommend this to people who want to get involved in local culture and are willing to try new things. Thank you so much to all the teachers, and the other volunteer Dara for making my time in Lombok so memorable.

The teachers and students from the SMK Dane Rahill have been so kind and welcoming and their enthusiasm is truly contagious. To me it felt a bit like an unorganized mess at times... but if you are open-minded, the culture and local experience can be an amazing eye opener and insight into their way of living! They taught us a traditional dance, they showed us traditional music and food, we saw some amazing sights... and besides the wonderful tours, I want to thank my co volunteer Mairi for creating and being part of this unforgetable experience! Terima kasih for this mantap betul time!
