Review

I stayed in Bali for 4 weeks volunteering on the healthcare education program. To be honest, it was a little bit disorganized volunteer-wise, and the primary focus seems to be on kindergarten or english; but it still worked out. I was originally paired up with another volunteer who was also doing healthcare, but because there weren't enough volunteers for our classes we split up and taught our own lessons. I had a class of 5-9 grade 5's and they were an awesome bunch. You really get out of it whatever you put into it. Our school was ~45 minutes away from our volunteer house, but I didn't mind because every day the drive allowed you to notice more beauties of Bali. I came to Bali expecting just to volunteer. I was surprised by how much research the other volunteers did about the island, and so every weekend we'd go to new places in Bali... each one more jaw dropping than the next! Yoga is abundant and so are healthy foods, beautiful scenery, and happy & kind people. It was the most amazing experience of my life, and I highly recommend! (PS. I was 22 when I volunteered and most of the other volunteers were ~19-20 years old; not many were of other ages... I think we had one woman in our group who was ~60.)

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
