    Description

    Hello from Lombok! :)

    We are a group of young Indonesians dedicated to cultural exchange and community development. Founded by Dayat, our story is one of resilience and rebuilding. After facing challenges, including the impact of Covid, we launched an English club in our village to provide local children with the opportunity to learn English in a fun and relaxed environment.

    Our main focus is in Cultural Exchange: The main task we ask to our volunteer is to participate in our English Club. In your free time, you will have the opportunity to experience our community traditions, food and ways of living. Staying with the locals at their homestay and being part of our program, you will be invited to ceremonies, cooking classes, excursions and schools visits among other activities.

    Furthermore, as we revitalize our sustainable tourism company,
    We're seeking support in different skills such as web development, design, photography, painting, tour ideas… creative and proactive individuals are welcome! If you share our passion for sustainable tourism and environmental awareness, your presence will contribute to helping the community understand the gravity of our ecological situation.

    In summary, we invite volunteers comfortable with kids and English speakers (fluent or not) to join us in teaching and practicing at the English club. You are also welcome to help in other side projects as mentioned above. We will do our best to facilitate free activities or excursions letting you explore off-the-beaten-track destinations and discover the beauty of Lombok

    Join our amazing team including Ayung, Rina, Adi, Silvi, Carolina, Nyoman, Memek, Amel and Wayan, from Muslim and Hindu communities in Central Lombok, as we do tasks towards bringing back our company and growing our English club project.

    Accommodation

    Explore our available homestays in the village, offering diverse accommodations. Whether you prefer solitude, the warmth of a local family, or the camaraderie of fellow workawayers, we've got you covered.

    Bathroom facilities cater to local customs, with options of a Western-style or traditional setup featuring a squat toilet, bucket, and water tap. While hot water may not be available, an authentic experience is guaranteed.

    Wif is available in some places, not all. We are working on it.

    Our vibrant "basecamp," situated just a short distance from the homestays, is the perfect gathering spot to socialize and create lasting memories.

    Enjoy complimentary coffee and tea at your leisure. Your stay ensures not only cultural immersion but also a comfortable and welcoming environment for an enriching experience.

    We are asking for a contribution to cover the costs of 2 meals (breakfast and dinner) and accommodation.

    From the village, there are ATMs, warungs, supermarkets and local markets only 5 minutes away by scooter. We are 25 minutes away from a bigger city called Mataram (immigration, western restaurants, mall, hospital, etc.) and 1 hour away from Bangsal Harbour and Kuta,

    If you do not have access to a motorbike we can help you arrange a renting or bring you around for the activities arranged with the group in exchange for gas expenses.
