What a wonderful experience. I felt like a part of the community family and was greeted and welcomed at every location around town. I started on the batik programme with Mrs Lilik, but as they needed a teacher for a few days I also did this programme. If you want to experience local life, learn Javanese culture and make meaningful connections this is the position to apply for! I mainly applied to learn Batik, but came away with so much more experience. The hours you commit to are relaxed, mostly with busy mornings and sleepy afternoons- again like the locals do!

My experience here was truly spectacular. Everyone who supported the project treated me like family. It was incredible being immersed in all the aspects of Madiun including Batik, teaching English, having lots of local food, and Scout Camp where I got to help hundreds of kids with English. They are extremely loving and caring hosts who helped me with my every need. Even though I didn't speak Indonesian, everyone was willing to help me and wanted to connect with me to make me feel at home. The experience was truly unforgettable and I'd recommend you apply.

My stay in Madiun was perfect. Mostly because of my guest parents Mrs Lilik and Mr Dwi. I learned about the local arts by doing batik, I learned the culture by meeting amazing people around the community and I was able to learn about the traditional food:)

I have never been so passionate about a review. My stay with Mr. Yoga, Mrs. Lilik, Mr. Agus and the rest of the team at the community was absolutely incredible. I was immediately welcomed in as part of their family. I learned so much about the local culture, attending a traditional music class, cooking classes and a martial arts class. I also left with a beautiful piece of Batik I made with the help of an amazing teacher. The English teaching was only 1.5 hours per day Monday - Friday and the kids were wonderful. The people I met here were the best part. Thank you so much the community team ❤️

This was an experience of a lifetime and i cannot recommend it enough. what a joy it was to experience daily life in indonesia, the host about the culture and meet the AMAZING people of Madiun. in my years of traveling, i've never been met with such big, open hearts. i am fortunate enough to have spent 9 days with the most kind, generous, and warm people. they truly made me feel special!! volunteering was less about work and instead being spoiled with enjoying the activities planned like making the host, learning martial arts, and visiting the english class. be prepared to be a model for photos!
