My experience with Ms. Elen, her family, and the school Academy was amazing. Even before I arrived in Bondowoso, Elen was communicative and informative; when I arrived, she instantly made me feel like family. I can genuinely say that I'm leaving this experience with a new friend in Elen. Her husband is so kind and her son is so silly with so much energy. The students at her the school are all so welcoming and eager to learn. This experience was seamless and so enriching. Elen's home was amazing; she provided her second floor just for me with my own bedroom and bathroom.

The children are very sweet and enjoy spending time with us. You experience Bondowoso city and can go get coffees or walk around the streets. Lots of locals asking for photos/ want to know where you are from and are interested in talking to you. Classes are in the afternoon/ evening so you have mornings to rest and explore. Elen lets you rest if you feel you need it and lets you teach the way you want and create your own powerpoints/ lessons for the children. I will miss the children as you grow close relationships with some and even get offered food/ treats from parents :)

Elen is a great host. As a person she is fun and kindhearted and understanding. As a teacher she is very patient with the kids and passionate about teaching English. I have been welcomed with so much kindness from her and her family. She arranged a very nice private room for me, spacious and clean. The food she and her mom cooked for me was delicious. I definitely recommend this volunteering experience not only for teaching English but also living like a local experience.

My experience in Bondowoso has been quite something, especially considering that it was my first time in Asia. I've been immersed in the local culture from the very first day. The school is an amazing way to get to know the kids and even their parents. Last, but not least, Elen has been very welcoming even before my arrival. She's very caregiving and respectful. It's has been an amazing experience!

A volunteering stay in Bondowoso is exactly what volunteering abroad is all about. The kids are great and you'll get a cultural exchange of all the little city of Bondowoso has to offer. Elen will show you some nearby local sights and I even spent our day out with the whole family. The kids warm up to you and are super sweet and a fun experience teaching many english levels. Would definitely recommend
