I had an amazing time volunteering in sorowako, teaching English to children and helping out with gardening. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, as I got to be part of the local culture and see how welcoming everyone was. The kids were eager to learn, and it was so fulfilling to be able to assist in their growth and development. I felt at home with the Aldy's family, they were always looking to give us the best time and makes us feel comfortable!

I absolutely loved living with Aldi's family. The fact that we became a part of the family so quickly was a blessing. Mama Aldi cooked us every meal and always wanted to keep us busy. Our timing was unfortunate that there was nothing to help build but that is out of their control as they need donations for supplies. I only wish we could have helped more!

Coming to Sorowako and staying with Aldi and family was my best decision and I'm so glad I did it! It was such a pleasure to interact with neighbourhood children in the village to teach English and sometimes even Japanese! We went hiking together as well, and they sent me off at bus terminal when I left town! Made me cry... 🥹 Visiting local Jr High School, playing badminton with students, attending wedding, picnic at lakeside, playing cards and chatting over coffee... I made a lot of new friends through Aldi and his mom, the memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

I really enjoyed my experience living with Aldi and his family. I was able to immerse myself into Indonesian life by getting to know them and their friends, as well as trying the local food and learning the traditional culture. Teaching the children basic English was always fun and I highly recommend it. Although life was somewhat rural, that aspect made the experience truly rewarding. Moreover, Lake Matano and its surroundings was really beautiful and to travel there was amazing. I wished I could of stayed there longer as I knew there was plenty more that I could of done and would of enjoyed.

Our time at the project was wonderful and unforgettable. Mama Aldi immediately makes you feel so welcome and at home, with amazing food too! The English lessons are quite relaxed, super accessible for first time teachers, and the kids are so sweet. The host family was more than happy to show us around the local area too, including the beautiful lake nearby, and one time the kids took us on a mountain trek! The facilities are quite basic as the village itself is very rural, so you truly get the chance to immerse yourself in Sulawesi culture.
