    Description

    Hey I'm Pringgo, an International student at Lewis & Clark College, Oregon. I'm a founder/leader of an organization. We focus on teaching English to children in Malili, a village in South Sulawesi Indonesia. Our project happens each year during summer, we usually received support from local government and local corporations for funding. We need your help to give our participants opportunity to practice their English with more English speakers.

    You can check out our previous work. Ask us for the links.

    Malili is not like any other place. If you think of Indonesia, you might think of Jakarta, Bali, Raja ampat, etc. Well, those are touristic places. Coming to Malili, you can learn firsthand the local cultures from Buginese tribe, traditional dishes, customs, etc.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Sadly, we don't have enough budget to accommodate your transportation to come to Malili (You will need to take flight to Makassar, and come to Malili by Bus). However, we provide housing (wifi included) and food. You will stay in one of our member's house (you can pick), and eat anything that the family cook that day (we will keep in mind if you have any dietary restrictions)

    Ps. Indonesia has varieties of good vegetarian and vegan meals.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our program includes recreation to few beautiful places in East Luwu region, which you definitely cannot find in mainstream media. Such as Pantai Lemo, Anjungan 533, Bukit Kasih, Uelanti, and many more!

    Honestly, this project won't take that much of efforts and time, besides helping us with teaching children, we also wanted you to have fun and enjoy our beautiful hometown and cultures :)
