Best experience ever

I can say it now : participate to VP Bali was the best experience ever in my life.
I had so many questions before leaving for Bali. Am I a good teacher ( because my level in English was not amazing maybe a B2 level ) ? Can I adapt myself to a country as different from mine ? Aren’t 4 weeks too long ?

Finally, I can tell you that I learned more from the children than I taught to them. Thanks to my co-teacher who was here one week before me, it made me more comfortable for my first days in class. I got to watch her and see what I would have to do for the next 4 weeks. Once my co-teacher was absent and I was afraid about teaching alone, but it ended up being very easy : I could ask to one helper to translate some words in Indonesian and stay with be at the beginning. Tutik and Kim were also here to help me, during the meeting on Monday I saw what I could do with my class with them. Don’t worry about being left on your own, it will never happen!

I’m so grateful I got to meet beautiful people such as the children, the volunteers from all around the word, helpers, the locals at the homestay and also the founder of the organization Kim. During these 4 weeks I saw children always smiling with sparkles in their eyes even thought they live with almost nothing. I will never forget the smile of the students from both my classes. Living in Bali for 1 month taught me a great deal about the balinese culture, I understood a new mentality and a worldview that is completely different from mine. I also realized that the balinese people are living happily without clear drinking water, warm water, unlimited clothing options and all the kind of stuff we are used to living with.
I would like to say thanks a million to vp bali for giving me the chance to live this amazing adventure. You gave me so much that I could ever give for you.
