You stay at a beautiful place next to the beach. School is a 5 min walk and you teach from Monday to Thursday, you can see how everyone cares a lot about the kids. I especially loved how they encouraged creativity, this is something i did in my own class as well. I taught English to two classes by myself , at first i wasn't sure if i could do it but you get the hang of it really fast and the kids are so much fun. In the weekend you have time to explore Bali with some of the other volunteers, in this way you can also make some really good friends. I would definitely recommend the Bali program
