Program Details

English Class is one of the routine programs run by the Pustaka Bambu Community. We recognise how important English is for children to help them develop further in the future. With a variety of creative teaching methods, we believe that the alternative education we run together will foster confidence and strengthen children's character.

Activities & Shift

After breakfast, volunteers from outside together with local volunteers will plan the agenda of the English class and the necessary outdoor materials and games. Daily class time will last for three hours starting at 3 pm with a division of 30 minutes of preparation, 1.5 hours of class and 1 hour of outdoor games. After dinner, the class evaluation will be conducted in a relaxed atmosphere.
