Tania

I'm leaving Indonesia with a full heart and the feeling that I left a piece of myself in Madiun. I felt like a celebrity, warmly welcomed and treated like part of the family, especially by Mr. Agus's family. The radio experience was amazing, where I got to talk about Javanese culture, share my experience as a tourist, and talk about Mexico, a very meaningful moment that made me feel truly seen and appreciated. I highly recommend this volunteer experience to anyone looking to connect with a real authentic culture, feel part of a genuine community, and awaken their creative spirit.

I had a very unique experience in Madiun. I came for learning about a traditional textile, the host. Besides that, I could meet many local people in the community and share a lot of fun moments with them, such as playing traditional music, a traditional showcase, visiting a local school, cooking, and more. They accepted me as a part of the family since I arrived at the station, even after I left. I'm really happy with that and I already miss them. Thank you so much, my host family Ms Lillik & Mus Dwi, and everyone for giving me this opportunity. This experience brings much prosperity to me.

Wow, I don't even know where to start. From the moment I arrived, they treated me like family, and everyone I met in Madiun was so warm and welcoming. I feel like I received so much more than I gave, and I'm even shy to call myself a “volunteer” because I was the one who learned the most. I stayed with the most heartwarming host family who made me feel like their daughter. Every day was full of meaningful activities, not just the host, but a real chance to immerse in local life. Thank you so much for letting me experience something so special. I'll never forget it.

Words are missing to describe my stay in Madiun. Living with Dwie and Lilik, hanging out with the kawista team, I really felt like part of the family.❤️ They organised a busy program for me to discover the culture in Madiun : cooking lesson, martial art, gamelan, yoga, local market, visit of the train station, tempe making, and of course the host ! It is definitely the most immersive experience you can have into the Javanese culture. The job will consist of taking pictures during the activities and post on your social media to the host the culture. If any pb, don't hesitate to tell Mas Yoga :)

A truly authentic and enriching experience. From day one, they treated me like family. We shared meals, traditions, and their local culture with genuine warmth. While the language barrier can be a challenge and cultural differences exist, their kindness and effort make you feel at home. I even chose to stay longer to continue helping with community projects. Highly recommended for those seeking real connection and cultural exchange.
