Hi my name Putra and I am a local journalist. I am committed to advancing my village through education. Teaching English to elementary school students is very important, because Bali is very dependent on the tourism industry. However, until now they have not been able to receive English lessons properly, because there are no teachers who teach English. Through this volunteer's program I hope could bring a positive impact on our communities.
We warmly welcome volunteers who are willing to take the time and share their experiences. We will give you space to express yourself and explore our unique culture and traditions. Enjoy the beauty of nature and the hospitality of our people here.

Volunteering in Bebandem was such an amazing experience. You will see true life in Bali without the tourists. Teaching at the school is amazing! The kids are so friendly. Make sure you plan some activities for them (they love learning through games, songs and competitions!). The farming was a great experience and not hard at all, very enjoyable. Putra is super warm and welcoming and is a great host! I would recommend getting a scooter through Putra so you can explore the area in the afternoons and on the weekend - there are so many cool places to see around there.

Hi Megan! What you've done for us was truly amazing. All the students were very enthusiastic about your English lessons. They enjoyed it and will always remember what you taught them. The same goes for the farmers you helped when they worked hard to pick their fruit and flowers. This will always be an unforgettable memory. And I hope you could come again someday!🤩 Have a great journey!

My stay here was great! Putra and his family are super kind and welcoming!! We had 3 meals a day (given 7/8am, 1pm, and 7/8pm) and Monday-Friday we would either teach English at an elementary school or work on a local farm for about 1.5-2hours. Easy to plan or wing an English lesson (review numbers, days of the week, months, animals, birthdays, etc). This location is up in the mountains so get familiar with a motorbike or use the guide Putra recommends! Really great locations to visit in your down time (Amed beach, virgin beach, Gates of Heaven, the water palaces, go snorkel, diving, etc).

Staying with Putra and family was one of the most fulfilling experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. Putra was always available and made sure everything was comfortable throughout my stay. Also, the home cooked food was amazing.
The school and the kids are truly special. The children are always eager to learn English and light up with joy when you teach them through games.
Beyond the school, I got the chance to met local villagers, help them pick flowers from their farms, play volleyball and even join in on Karaoke afternoons.

Hello Raveena! You're so kind and friendly. Everyone loves you, especially the elementary school students. They're so happy and enthusiastic whenever you teach them. So are the flower farmers you helped pick flowers at the plantation. They're happy that you were able to help them and share so much. Hopefully, you would come again and share your experiences to our communiies more someday.

The accomodation is clean, comfortable, and private. Your meals are brought to your porch hot and delicious. Putra and his family are kind, generous, and fun, and they include you in outings and enjoyable downtime. The children are smart and excited to learn, everyone in the village says hello with a smile, and not one person has been unpleasant. The experience is authentic and filled with cultural exchange. I would recommend this project to anyone looking for a true Bali experience that benefits both you and the community!

Hi Jessica! You have a great personality. Everything you have done for the community in my village will bring a huge positive impact, especially on the children who received English lessons almost every day. Everyone was very enthusiastic. And I hope you can come back someday and continue all that you want to give to our communities.
