    Description

    Hi Sincerely Workawayers,
    I am Indrotomo. I have a camp focusing on making villagers both children and adults able to speak English.
    If you are interested in volunteering for at least 2 weeks, in spare time, you can visit some interesting places around Temanggung and neighboring towns such as Borobudur temple at Magelang, Dieng plataeau at Wonosobo, beautiful hills, traditional arts, dances, exotic resorts, home industries of arenga/ palm sugar, coffee, do mount climbing, play music, sport etc.
    The projects I run are:
    1. Speaking class
    2. Outdoor event when there is enough number of volunteers
    3. Assisting to create a video channel about English Speaking focus.
    Temanggung is of course, a safe town to stay. We can have 2-4 volunteers to stay together with us in our house with friendly neighborhood and wifi connection.
    You can have at least twice Javanese meals a day. You will help yourselves in making tea, coffee and other drink, or cooking if it's your hobby including washing the dishes. You can either use a washing machine provided or take your clothes to laundry.
    I am looking forward to seeing you coming to my camp as volunteers
    Warmest greeting to you all. Thanks.

    "As Workaway Ambassadors, this particular Workaway experience forged, for us, some of the fondest memories of our time in enchanting Indonesia. Although our main role was ‘English Teacher’, a stay at Mr Indro’s is so much more than just teaching! We were lucky to witness, not only everyday life, but also traditional villages and their particular festivals. Be prepared for the overflowing warmth and gratitude of the school kids, not to mention the delightful curiosity of the locals in the neighbouring villages! If you're travelling in search of authentic cultural experiences, we highly recommend you pay a visit to Mr Indrotomo and his friends."
