Environmental & English Teaching Review from Bali

“It was an incredible trip.
I had a wonderful time volunteering….the people were so lovely, and the children are truly amazing.
Working with the kids was especially rewarding; they were always excited to see us, eager to learn, and incredibly creative.
It was a very fulfilling journey, and it certainly won’t be my last.

Comments on local team, food and accommodation
The team were amazing, very accommodating and always helpful.
The accommodation was comfortable, and the food was very good most of the time.”
