We're doing an English Training camp base in the cool town located at the center of Central Java named Kedu, about 3 hours from Semarang airport, 2 hours from Yogyakarta airport, 6 hours by bus from Jakarta, and 24 hours from Denpasar. I live with my community.
We're focusing to help our people practice their English by doing their daily activities. They don't have real opportunities to speak in English even in their school. To give them motivation and meeting you from other country is a big thing for them, that is our motivation of making this profile. We have an evening chill at the coffee shop to give them a class and place to practice. The main goal is to be a speaking partner
I invite volunteers to help my program. We're singing English songs, do farming, cooking together, and discover locally.
In our free time, volunteers can visit the interesting places around Kedu such as Borobudur, Dieng plateau, beautiful mountain, traditional art, dance, coffee garden, hiking the volcano, walking around the ricefields.
You'll get a local breakfast, but also we can cook together.

Our volunteer program aims to give the children in the surrounding villages a more sustainable education. There are still kids in the communities we are serving that don't have the opportunity to go to school because of poverty and culture. We are trying our best as an organization but we are lacking more teachers, we need your help! Whether your strengths lie in teaching English, Music, Computer, Art, math, or sports, you can make a difference. Pack your bags for Kenya, our school is waiting for you that is in desperate need of your teaching skills.

Teaching is the best way to increase the future/hope of children in Africa, especially Kenya, living in slums/Villages. Come and help either at our Children’s home/Kindergarten/Baby class/Primary School/Secondary School or Community Centre

Участнику необходимо иметь твёрдое намерение быть полезным людям. Понимать почему людям может быть интересна программа обучения
.
Проект даёт возможность слушателям погрузится в пространство десяти направлений, понять каждое из них и почувствовать своё притяжение к ним.

Наборы актуальных знаний и навыков пригодны для встраивания человека в систему взаимоотношений как обладателя устойчивых профессиональных способностей в своей проведённой профориентации.

Задумка у проекта очень величественная, и реализация вполне аккуратная-чистая-красивая. Но есть простые вещи, понятные - например бывает дождь пару дней, приходится заниматься тем чем можно под крышей: самообразованием, смотреть кино, читать, рисовать))). А бывают и солнечные дни, когда душа поёт, и надо ловить момент и ухаживать за курятниками-индюшатниками-гусями, тропинками, огородом. При всех очень и интересно - в проекте можно почувствовать себя далеко от коронавируса, гомонящей системы образования и фальшивой еды.
Сегодня такое обучение актуально для получения базовых знаний и для становления преподавателем.

Проект стартовал летом 2017 года, это огромное пространство 14 Га, поляна обнесенная лесом, на котором расположились хозяйственная и жилая части. Хозяйство уже внушительное: огород, сад, гуси, индюки и курицы. Сейчас требуются работы по технической части: установка деревянных домиков, создание комфортной и благородной среды. Главная идея - это создание культурной и научно-практической среды, развитие через осмысленный труд. Будущее мировое, есть к чему стремиться.

Место расположения в Лужском районе Ленинградской области. Лес и обширные поля, поблизости есть речка. С ближайшего поселения добираемся на внедорожниках, это весело :)

Живем мы в модульных домиках - комфортное и уютное жилье фактически в чистом поле - с системой вентиляции, энергоснабжения, и отоплением. Комнаты оборудованы всем необходимым, за окном свои грядки - круглосуточный доступ к витаминам. Мы eco-friendly: питаемся энергией ветра и солнца (поэтому так радуемся ему каждый раз). При этом есть все необходимое: стиральная машина, WI-FI, зарядки и даже кинозал! Питаемся полноценно 4 раза в день.

Мы бережно относимся к нашему хозяйству, выращиваем все сами, изобретаем лайфхаки для упрощения жизни и с радостью делимся с участниками проекта. Здесь можно развить практические навыки ведения хозяйства, садоводства и с большой пользой провести время.

Type of work

Организованные дела в течении дня. Разные занятия связанные с организацией быта и конструкцией домов с перерывами на приёмы пищи и отдых.Есть обучение правильным приёмам работы. Посильная занятость и учебная программа для мужчин и девушек. Для мужчин - шуруповёрт, спецодежда, схема сборки деревянных домов и теплиц. Для девушек - приготовление еды, ботаника, теплица, может быть малярка-шпаклёвка. Приветствуется умение шить, музыкальное образование, фото-видеография. Обеспечиваем полноценным питанием, комфортным проживанием, заботливым обучением, пониманием пользы от своего труда. Организованный досуг, бывают экскурсии, творческие мероприятия организуем вместе. Наши приоритеты: спокойствие, эмоциональный комфорт, совершенствование навыков в любых начинаниях. В первое время непривычное ощущение тишины и хорошего отношения. Наши ценности - спокойствие и умножение знаний.

The reason why we ask for a financial contribution from all of our volunteers and interns is because we aim to provide all of our projects for free to the local communities. These financial contributions make up a large part of our income to cover our operating costs. You can look at the contribution rates here http://otracosa.org/volunteer/contribution/. We believe our rates are pretty fair compared to rates other organizations in South America ask for. We also hold transparency extremely important so you can see where our contributions go in our Annual Reports. We will have 2019's report up soon. I know it seems kind of unfair to ask for a financial contribution when you offer your work for free but a lot of the contribution goes to the support system we offer such as airport pickups, weekly lunches, and fun weekend trips.

Type of work

Otra Cosa Network is a well-established UK Registered Charity and Peruvian registered not for profit (NGO), addressing the educational needs of children and vulnerable adults in an extremely impoverished area of Northern Peru. We work in informal settlements where many community members have been displaced by climate change, disaster and political instability. They live in precarious circumstances, few have running water, sewage provision and there is only sporadic electricity. Additionally, many children are forced to work instead of continuing their education, in order to boost family finances and there are no community-based facilities for learning and developing new skills in a safe environment.

Accommodation, food, and security is free as it is captured in the placement charge.

The host family's residence is mostly a walking distance from the Mayflower Beacon School Complex. Location farther from the School will attract transport cost but you will know more during induction.

hoping to see you soon!

What to pack?
Casual clothes mostly. If you are a sports enthusiast you'll need to come along with your sports apparel.

HELP/SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT TO OUR VILLAGE

Arusha, Tanzania Teaching

Reviews: 2 Joined: 15 Marko Silas

We believe that a child’s future success and advancement in life is greatly influenced by their early educational experience as those who have go to school early develop an interest in education more than those who have not participated in early learning education – learning how to get along in groups, work under teacher supervision, etc. They also receive encouragement to express their feelings and ideas through building, dancing, and drawing, playing, singing and speaking. And thus, at the end of their pre-school years, they have become more competent pupils and will be more advanced in some of their abilities and be ready to master their new environment in primary and secondary education.We are located at Sanawari village -Arusha.

All volunteer work 5 days per week and 2 days for week end. And during the week end they can go to visit variety attractions such as water fall, Safari, Mountain trek,Hot water spring,Lake, Coffee plantation, Masai culture, And Zanzibar.
