Description
Hello, my name is Janneke. I'm 25 years old and live in the Netherlands. I am a music teacher and have studied to become a primary school teacher. I want to travel to Indonesia because my grandfather used to live there and I want to be more in touch with my grandfather's culture. I would also like to experience the generosity and kindness that Indonesian culture is known for and experience what it is like to travel on my own. Working with children and helping others who are often overlooked by society brings me joy in life.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I am a music teacher who can play multiple instruments such as trumpet, French horn, guitar, and piano. Singing is also a passion of mine. I conduct a children's choir where both the audience and the children in the choir are often infected by my enthusiasm. In addition, I also teach at a primary school. I'm not afraid of hard work and don't mind getting my hands dirty. In fact, I would love to contribute to building projects or work outdoors.

I would like to bring my ukulele with me on my trip so I can make music with people I meet along the way. I am really looking forward to learning more about Indonesian culture and to experience the Indonesian way of life.

Volunteering here was my first experience travelling abroad, and I couldn't love it more. I got so many wonderful opportunities during my time here. All the people were so kind and caring, that they soon helped me feel at ease in such a different country with a different culture and language. A perfect start of my Indonesian journey!

I was a… read more little bit insecure about the traveling itself beforehand, because it was my first travel out of Europe.
But the clear communication and a videocall beforehand, made me feel more reassured to do the travelling.
They will help you with everything you need a hand with, even after your stay.

I got so many opportunities at the work; I visited multiple schools, did reading sessions, music lessons and get inspired by the school programs I was lucky to attend. Besides that, are all the teachers also very hospitable and kind and also really like to share the culture with you.

They also offer every global volunteer to host a Direct sharing session, where you can share your expertise with the students.
I really felt that they were interested in what you would offer them, and are very open minded and eager to learn new things.
Even if they are not used to it before.

In my experience, I really bonded the most with the interns during the cooking, because it was a nice environment to learn Indonesian words. Sometimes, because of the language barrier, some people would not feel at ease to speak English.
But during the cooking the conversations really started.

Besides offering you great work experience, they also offer a lot of cultural experience. They invited me to go on a holiday trip to Blitar. It was the trip where I bonded the most with the people. But if you want to mind your own thing, they will also be very respectful of that.

One of the unique opportunities here, is that you will be placed in a host family. I really, really love it. You learn so much about the culture and religion in a very respectful way. They understand that the culture is new for you, and are very patience and kind with you. Even after the workaway I still have contact with them and was even invited to spend more time with them. I can not describe how welcoming and thoughtful they are. I have witnessed the truest form of kindness in this family.

I also got new ideas, plans and meetings with new friends after my visit. There are a lot of new opportunities available with my further travel after my experience here. It was a total life changing experience for me.
Terima kasih!

Lieve groetjes,
Jane (Janneke ) from Belanda
