First of all - to volunteer at VP Bali was one of the best things I have done so far.
I have been here for 10 weeks and I don‘t regret a single second I spend in this programm.
VP Bali is not just about teaching kids and traveling. It is about giving the kids a chance to have a better future, get close to the culture and being a part of an amazing program.
Before I came here, I had so many questions. How are the kids? Am I a good teacher? Is it going to be easy? How is it to stay in the homestay? Should I travel after my time at VP Bali?
Living in the homestay was a brilliant way to get even closer to the Balinese culture and the family. I came to Bali alone and after a few days, I had so many new friends, with who i could share my experience. Wayan, the owner of the homestay is really helpful and you can trust him. If you have any problems, his family will help you with everything.
When you live in a homestay, you are never alone.
I had amazing Co-Teachers and Helpers, who made teaching really easy.
All the volunteers are sharing their experiences, games and ideas, so I never ran out of games for my class.
I was in Room 2 and in both classes I had amazing kids. The moment, when you come to school and the kids run into your arms, asking you with a big smile how you are, is always a special moment.
I have learned so much from my kids, that i can‘t even say what exactly it was. I am so grateful for my kids, that they have been patient with me, happy about every game, coming to my class and always having a hug left for me.
I will never forget the letters or flowers, the kids gave to me.
After my time in VP Bali, I will go to Australia. Once you go away from home and start traveling, you can‘t stop anymore. Many of us volunteers changed their flights to travel threw Asia or other countries, which are close to bali. I can just recommend to book a flexible flightticket.
Now my time at VP Bali is over and I think, staying 10 weeks, was perfekt. It is a long time, but after this time, you can call this place your home. A home with so many people from all around the world, who are getting so close, that you can call them a family. This program changed my life and the way I see my life.
Thank you VP Bali, for this amazing time.
