Kids & English teaching wanted, living with local family in Java

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

My experience in this volunteer program was the school. I gained a deep cultural understanding of the people here, their traditions, and beliefs. I also had the pleasure of seeing beautiful places, tasting local foods, talking to locals, and teaching English to children and teenagers — which, honestly, has been a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this volunteer program not only for the cultural exchange but also because of Helen, the host, and her family. They made me feel like part of their family from the very first moment with their warmth and kindness

I have been very welcome into this volunteering even before I would step in Java. It's located in a small city but very close to the nature so I feel very relaxed. The students are very different so it keeps the daily routine very interesting. Elen was always available to show me around or just chatting about anything and her family made me feel part of it even tho they can't speak English. I really enjoyed the short time I spent there. Thank you.

I had a really good time with the students and enjoyed getting to know them. I had to come up with PowerPoints and worksheets to support the classes. I would mostly do the classes alone so I had to use creativity to come up with work to do for an hour! You should know that there is no shower, so the bucket and water tank is the way to go! About the food, it sometimes sits out on the conter for a period of time, it could be tricky for stomachs that are not used to that! Bondowoso is a small town, so beauty salon, market and movies are the things to do here. Elen is a very nice person.

I thought you have read properly my description that Bondowoso is a small city and my bathroom. You didn't tell me regarding the food that I wasted them because you didn't eat it. Sorry if maybe some experiences here didn't meet your expectation. But thanks for your helps. On the other hand you helped me with classes. I appreciate it.
