  Description

  My name is Wisnu. I live in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I have my own business with my friends, we created an environmental consultant. We help our clients to do an environmental impact assessment for their projects. By making a right arrangement for the projects, we contribute to create a sustainable development.
  
  Besides running my business, I am also an English teacher in a middle school, NGO, orphanage, and my community. The school where I am teaching is a small private school in a village with limited financial support. Most of the students come from a poor family with various problems. They go to school and live in a orphanage for free. I also teach English in the orphanage. Even though there are many obstacles, the students are always excited to learn, especially English. In order to give a real and meaningful learning, I asked my friends from other countries to teach English when they were in Yogyakarta. I have done it with many friends from many countries. As the result, the students became more confident to speak English and interact with a foreigner.
  
  I have been teaching at the school for the last one and a half year and I want to keep teaching. Actually I have been busy with my own business but I do really want to help the school since there was no any English teachers who want to teach because of low salary and many factors. I want to boost my students' energy to enrich their insight with global minded perspective by presenting them foreigner from many countries. I want them to not only learning English, but also learning about the culture from various countries.
  
  Due to I can't make sure the visit of my friends from other countries, I need such kind of volunteer to teach my students and give a cross culture.

  Help

  I need a volunteer to teach English and/or other languages. It doesn't have to be a real teacher. I just need a person who can share about the culture and anything from the country. It also doesn't mean teaching in a strict class. It's just like a club to learn English and/or other languages and cross culture.
