Dresti House

We need volunteers who want to come to our elementary school to teach English to our students and live a real volunteer experience. We offer our best smile and kindness to make it a memorable and enriching experience that you will always remember all your life. You don't need a high level of English because we need to practice a basic level. You can also play volleyball at break and share activities with teachers and children. In the afternoons you have free time to go out by bike, run or walk through the beautiful rural environment of rice fields. You can also go to the beach by bike. You will have wyfi at home and at school. My family is very welcoming and you will be one more in our house. We will cook delicious food for you every day. On weekends you can explore the island or maybe rent a motorcycle, it is a wonderful adventure to get to the waterfalls of the rivers in the forests of the north of the island.

I am the principal of a rural school and my fellow teachers are good people and very friendly, we are all looking forward to meeting you and we will give you our best kindness. Life here is simple and sincere. Our facilities are humble but we try to offer the best education to our students.

Dresti gave me a warm welcome. The room is in a very good condition, with private bathroom. The meals were far some of the best I have eaten in Indonesia. The work at school was quite simple, only 1 or 2 hours of classes per day. Personally I wish I could have done more. The children are very enthusiastic about learning new things. In the afternoon you are free and you can go for a walk but you have to pay a cab for it, because everything touristic and even a coffees or stores are far from the house. The house is located in the middle of the jungle mountain. There’s no wifi.

I very much enjoyed my time at the school. The children are delightful, their light shines so bright and they seemed always excited to find me and the other volunteer teacher. It seems I appeared during a period when their schedule is reduced due to exams and upcoming holidays and I could happily have given more lessons than the 1-2 hours four days per week. The little ones are amazing regardless. Wayan and family all lovely. Do note their place is quite remote, so having your own transport would be very helpful for adventures in your free time. Feel free to message me for advice!

Dresti, my host, made me feel like family from day one, I’m so grateful for his kindness and hospitality. When I was there I felt deeply connected with nature and culture💓 🌿

Dresti Wayan is the best host I've ever had. He is very caring and so kind. Also his family is very nice and sweet. To live with them changed my way of thinking and I highly recommend it for everyone. If you want to see the real authentic face of the Island Bali, this is the best adress to go. And the area is beautiful. Dresti also is a wonderful hiking guide and driver. The work at school is so important and the children are very grateful. If you come prepare yourself for a lot of free time you'll have. Thank you very much Dresti family.
