Description: Travel to Teach are currently developing new volunteer programs on Bali, and our first volunteers arrived in March 2008. Well known as "the islands of gods" or "the island of thousand temples" Bali is the most famous Island on Indonesia.

Travel to Teach's Bali volunteer programs are located just outside of the small city of Gianyar, which is the capital of Gianyar province. Although Gianyar province receives much of its money income from tourism and contains many of Bali's most popular locations the city of Gianyar itself feels very far removed from any tourist influence, making it an ideal place for volunteers to discover the real Bali.

Travel to Teach's volunteer house is located in a small village around 3 km from the center of Gianyar. Facilities in the house are quite basic, with only cold water and an Asian style squat toilet although the views from the rooftop balcony are beautiful. The dorm has 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, living with TV and a DVD player.

Highlights: The Yappenatim Orphanage is a non Governmental foundation, which receives a little assistance from the government as well as donations from different donors. The orphanage is located a couple of minutes away from the volunteer house and houses and educates around 400 children aged between 6 and 18 and includes a primary and senior school. T2T volunteers teach at the school from Tuesday to Thursday in the Junior High School and at the English club of the High school.

Things here are less strict and more chaotic than in the Government schools, schedules change regularly so volunteers need to be flexible. In the classroom you are the leading teacher and responsible for lesson planning. Volunteers usually work with a local teacher, however the local teachers sometimes leave the class during lessons and occasionally to do not attend at all so volunteers are sometimes left alone at the front of the classroom.
