Description: Narayan Seva Children's Home in Bali, Indonesia, was started in June 2004 with one 4 year old child. It was started with the intention to provide shelter and education for the needy, marginalized and disadvantaged children. Based on the progressive system of Neo- Humanist Education , under the guidance of dedicated teachers, students not only acquire academic skills and knowledge , but also gain strength of character and high ideals. The home is run by Didi Sujata who is not only warm and hospitable, but also open to change and new ideas as far as the management of her project is concerned. Volunteers help with childcare, fundraising, teaching (English, Art, Crafts, etc), and gardening.

Qualifications: We need talented female volunteers or couples who would like to come spend time with our children. The volunteer should have a love for children and good character through which to act as a role example for the children.

KIDS Worldwide's Mission Statement: Kids Worldwide seeks to improve the quality of life for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide nurturing care and educational programmes based upon the universal concepts of Neo-Humanism, which are tailored to the needs of the children in our projects. We run orphanages as well as provide services to already established orphanages and childrens' projects (such as struggling primary schools and kindergartens) through our volunteer outreach programs. Our volunteer programs are notable in that we only request a small donation for food and accommodation that is paid directly to the project itself when the volunteer arrives.
