Volunteering Programs by Volunteer Programs Bali

During my trip through Southeast Asia I took a couple of weeks to volunteer in Bali with the VP Bali. I had two classes with kids from about 6 to 10 years old. As a English Teacher I can say that there's nothing in life more fulfilling than seeing a kid enjoying a class and actually learning, this is what happens in VP Bali. Kids come to classes to learn in a fun and dinamic way. It is amazing who they appreciate your help and how they get so closed to you in just a couple of days. One of the most beautiful things loved about being with the kids is the way they show respect to their teachers and elders by putting your hand in their forehead, I've never seen anything like this in other countries and I think it is just a sweet gesture. All the staff members and volunteers I got the chance to meet and share this experience with were very nice and helpful all the time. We had great days even outside the school. Volunteering is definitely the most incredible thing I've done so far in my life. If you ever have the chance to volunteer abroad I would totally recommend VP Bali, you will not regret it.

The way the English is taught by VP Bali is amazing. The children benefit so much from the English course structure and curriculum set by VP Bali. The children are so eager to learn and love seeing thier teachers every day. The children's motivation is always high due to the fun, learning environment. I am so thankful that I was able to participate in such a fantastic program and cant wait to see the children again some day soon! I really felt that I was able to make a difference and genuinely contribute to the children's success in the future.

It was my first volunteering experience. The testimonial of a friend who volunteered at VP and the comparaison with others programs gave me the confidence to chose VP Bali. I haven't any regrets for that, it is the best decision that I ever made.

I was really well welcomed by the staff and I met amazing people with who I volunteered but also lived during two months.

About the school and the kids, the staff and my coteacher gave me advices to prepare myself and gave me confidence before my first teaching classes. Anyway it's an easy "job" because the kids are adorables (so different from the western kids) and are always enthusiastic to learn more about the English language. Furthermore, I think the way that we teach English: by games and exercices is really good to keep the kids motivated the k to learn and come to this free extra classes. You quickly create connections with the kids and it very rewarding to see them improve.
I strongly recommend Volunteer Programs Bali for people who are looking for do something good in their life and are looking for an international experience.

I decided to join this volunteering programme when I already started my backpacking. So far it has been the best decision I made during my whole traveling as I experienced my most beautiful time throughout the whole trip during my stay at VPBali. VPBali has been so helpful from the beginning on and so created a wonderful atmosphere. The teaching itself has been absolutely amazing as the kids are so lovely. They are so thankful that you dedicate your time to them and are so willing to learn. For letting the teaching be a lot of fun VPBali offeres a lot of helpful material.

My overall experience was amazing. I first think that the program is really helpful as I could see the improvement with most of the students. The kids are really nice and want to learn a lot. Even the little "trouble makers" are always kind to us and respectful, and they get motivated pretty easily, even if some days are harder than others.
The staff is always present for us and really helpful. I particularly loved the spirit of the program, it's full of good vibe.

VP Bali has given me the opportunity to work in a volunteering program for the first time and I can say it was an amazing experience.
Although I had worked for five years in Africa, this volunteering experience gave me the opportunity to meet different people, with a different culture and different points of view. For all that, I think I am now a person with a new perspective of the world.
I will definitely recommend VP Bali programs.

To be part of VP Bali was one of the best experience I have ever had so far. It was a successful volunteer program that made me realize we are important and count to have a true impact on the construction of those children to become responsible adults. Even if every child could not manage an exercise, they always were very motivated to try to understand, to fall sometimes, and try again.. VP Bali is a very well structured organization based on true educational values and, more over, FUN and CREATIVITY ! We could really felt the children had a great moment - and so did we - during the class by learning and having fun in a creative way too. This combination is the true base of VP Bali, and I personally think it is the good one. I thank this program to be as much positive and funny in all ways ! I really felt member of a family, and a wonderful one !

When you arrive the local staff and vp Bali staff welcome you into their family. I felt really happy and supported during my time here. The children at school are adorable and really eager to learn, they love playing games and it really helped me bond with them. The children were split out into levels while I was there and it was much easier to teach when they were all on one level. I can see their improvement from my time starting and when I finished. Any materials you need while you're there the support and local staff help you with.
