Having fun playing with kids and exploring a beautiful village

This experience was amazing! The first day I started at the school, the children were a bit shy at the beginning but so was I. That moment of shyness went over very quickly. The kids spoke way better English then I expected. I started to play with every kid individually, this way I could really focus on getting them to understand English, this was also a good way to learn every kid and learning how unique the are even at such a young age. I really recommend doing this, Ansari and his family are amazing people, I learned a lot about the community and the environment. 10/10 :)

It's quite hard to find where to start, but to summarise it easily it was one of the most beautiful experiences I've done. Ansari, his wife and the babysitters were very welcoming and made me really feel apart of the family. The children's English skills were beyond amazing being able easily to have a full conversation with them. Ansari made everything so easily accessible for me, giving me information on all the local sights and educating me on the area. Seeing how much the children loved their faith and talking to Ansari, really helped me myself learn more about my faith. Thank you Ansari.

The school is an exceptional school! They have a great educational system to kids from 1-5 years. By this age they are able to communicate in english very well. They also teach nature awareness, everyday they go to somewhere different in the nature to let kids play. I am lucky to be part of this education. I wish they all have the opportunity to keep practicing it. Ansari, Maria, Yuwata, with his team community made me feel very welcome, always with respect. I felt comfortable to teach and share with kids and others. The kids were lovely and respectful, they enjoy the classes so much.

My heart is full with this experience. Thank you Ansari, Maria, Weeta, Dear and Sunah. I learned a lot during this time about education, children, religion, food, etc. The classes were enjoyable, the children were adorable and very smart. When you join them in play, you feel like a child again! It's a perfect experience for someone who wants to be in a quiet place, away from tourism and share with locals. The food they provided us with is delicious! If I needed something, they were ALWAYS willing to help and were very flexible. Also,they always had recommendations for places or a plan!

One of the best experiences of my life as a traveler! I just have to thank Ansari, Maria and the whole the school team for everything they did during this time together. You were really amazing! The routine and activities are very pleasant and the place where we stayed is great. You also have good options for going out and exploring the region. The kids are very kind and friendly, which makes everything more enjoyable and fun. They learn English very well thanks to the methods adopted. I will miss these people, this place, the delicious food and every moment I spent here!

The teaching experience was great, the kids are sweet and willing to learn. The accomodation is quiet and very big. On the other side the most important part was missing which was the contact with the host or with anyone and that was the reason why I decided to leave earlier than planned. I was the only foreigner in the village and I saw the host only 10 minutes a day while I spent the rest of the day on my own and ate on my own. There is no Grab so the only way of moving around is the bycicle or the bike.

We are sorry that we didn't​ have​ much time to spend with you. Our typical day is normally hectic. As early as 6am, we need to prepare many things at our nursery school for the kids to come at 8. Then from 8am to 4pm we have to take care of them till they are picked up by their parents. We tried our best to come to see you everyday at 4 to 6pm, but during this time you were teaching.

Then at the weekend you went away for your trip, which was good for you to explore the area. But we missed a chance to spend time together​, at least having lunch together​. And we also helped you to book the van and the ferry ticket to go on the trip. We even drove you to the bus stop to catch the van, and picked you up at the same point when you came back. Just to make sure that our volunteer​ was taken care well.

In fact, we kept inviting you to join our nursery whenever you had time during the moring and have lunch together​, but you didn't​. Our volunteer​ who came before you did that and she was enjoying her time here. You can read her review below. Her name is Hanneke​, from the Netherlands​. Thank​ you​.

I had an amazing time at the school and highly recommended this experience. The kids are so smart and so eager to learn and practice english. The school is a lovely environment to be in and I felt so welcomed by Ansari, Maria and everyone at the school. They also provide you with a bike to get around and there are a couple beautiful waterfalls scattered around as well as some nature walks. I was lucky enough to be volunteering at the same time as someone else, and made a great friend from the experience. The accomodation is not far from the school and very comfortable. Thankyou!

My time at the school was an incredibly rewarding experience. Ansari, Maria, and everyone else made me feel incredibly welcome, ensuring that I felt at ease at all times. The neighborhood is also very cool, the people are nice and you will find good local restaurants. Volunteering here is definitely not a task, you will find fun playing and learning English to the kids. They are the cutest and smartest kids ever. I recommend this experience 100%!

I had a great experience! I felt super welcome by the host Ansari, his wife and the whole team. They were very kind every day at the school. Also Ansari invited me to share with his family Ramadan's culmination dinner and it was super cool. The kids are great! Very smart and fun so the daily work is enjoyed. The house where you sleep is comfortable and the neighbors are amazing. I had such a great time here! Thank you Ansari for giving me the opportunity to learn more about your community in these weeks! Wish you the best with all your projects.
