What our volunteers say about us

This summer is unique. The enthusiasm, adorability, and eagerness to learn of the children in Bali deeply touched us. We enjoyed the entire process of volunteer teaching, laughing, and being joyful just like them, and were deeply moved. Love knows no borders; we helped plant the seeds of English in their hearts, and their smiles made our youth shine brilliantly and beautifully.

Bali

In just two weeks, I dined with the natives, shared watermelon with monkeys, swam in a lake with crocodiles, and lived under the same blue sky with elephants and humble villagers. I still remember the clear eyes of the local little girl. My trip ended with reluctance, and as I was leaving, a young boy said to me 'see you again.' I quickly got into the car, thinking to myself, 'I will come back to see you all.
