Teach English & Sports in Orphanages and Schools in Bali with Travel To Teach

Location is Giayar, Bali
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. If you are walking through the city it can feel almost as if time has stopped with everything happening at a slower and more relaxed pace. Almost daily you’ll find vibrant Hindu ceremonies and festivals in the streets and the city is surrounded by amazing beaches and huge and beautiful rice terraces with a backdrop of mountains and volcanoes.

The Travel to Teach dorm is located in the village of Medahan, around 3 kilometers outside of Gianyar city center. The famous artisan village of Ubud is only a 10 minute drive away, with Keramas beach around 15 minutes away whilst the main tourist district of Kuta and the Balinese capital Denpasar are only a short bemo ride away. Gianyar city contains all them main facilities you’d expect from city such as food markets, supermarkets, ATM’s, internet cafes, laundry places and pharmacies.

Volunteer Programs in Gianyar

Travel to Teach volunteers work for 3 to 4 hours a day working at the SD Negreri school on Monday’s and then at the nearby Yasan Penolong Orphanage from Tuesday to Friday. The standard of English in the tourist areas of Bali such as Kuta, Sanur and Ubud is generally good. However once you move away from these areas English is rarely spoken and the standard of English teaching is low, schools are badly equipped, English lessons are unorganized and the English level of most teachers is basic. Improving the level of English in villages such as Medan is very important if the students are to have a chance of a job in the tourism sector.

As well as English teaching we will be running restoration camps at the orphanage during school holidays and there are plenty of opportunities to organize activities such as sports with the kids. Due to the strict religious beliefs of the Balinese schools are often closed due to religious festivals/ceremonies.

The surroundings of the city are marked by black sanded beaches and rice terraces with a backdrop of mountains and volcanoes.

Volunteers stay in the Panti Asuhan Kristen Orphanage near the city center of Klungkung. The fishing village Padangbai, famous for its diving and snorkeling, is only a short drive away. The beach of Lebih is around 25 minutes away whilst the main tourist district of Kuta and the Balinese capital Denpasar are only a short bemo ride away.

However once you move away from these areas English is rarely spoken and the standard of English teaching is low, schools are badly equipped, English lessons are unorganized and the English level of most teachers is basic.
