Detalhes

Descrição
I am an English teacher at a school in Pangkalpinang, Indonesia. I would love to connect with someone new to share our experiences as teachers.

I have three children: my eldest is 17 years old, and my twins are 12 years old. They are studying in senior high school and elementary school, respectively.

One of my projects is to bring in foreigners so that my students can practice speaking English directly. This initiative aims to motivate them and help them become global citizens in the future.

Our school is a Catholic private institution operating under a foundation, which allows us to volunteer and visit other schools as well.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Pangkalpinang boasts a rich cultural diversity that is unique compared to other places in Indonesia, as the community is comprised of Tionghoa (Chinese), Melayu (Malay), Javanese, Batak, and Flores influences. As a result, when volunteers come to Pangkalpinang, they have the opportunity to learn extensively about this vibrant culture.

In addition to cultural experiences, they also explore the local culinary scene, discovering a variety of spicy and sweet dishes, as well as an abundance of tropical fruits.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Charis)

Charis was the first volunteer from Workaway to arrive at our school in Pangkalpinang.

Prior to her arrival, as my host, I learned a lot about the arrival rules, and Charis patiently awaited every step.

Upon her arrival, not only was my family delighted, but the students at Santo Yosef High School Pangkalpinang also felt a sense of belonging and… read more

I have only positive things to say about my experience here! Mrs. Erna, the main coordinator for this program, is an incredible woman, and her family, the school , and the local community are all beyond welcoming and kind.

I stayed in Pangkalpinang for around 40 days, and I was able to meet many people and try many new things. Throughout my time… read more there, my main responsibilities revolved around practicing conversational English with students and visiting various schools in the area. During a normal week, the school days ran from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm (Monday through Friday). While the lessons were different depending on the class, I was typically involved in giving feedback to students, helping them practice their conversation, grading assignments, and playing games with them. Since I came during the end of the school year, the students were mainly giving their final projects in class. These projects revolved around presenting on either a piece of literature or an aspect of Indonesian culture. Within the project, the students had to organize a presentation, drama, game, and several other activities to explain their topic in English. I really enjoyed watching these projects, and I was very impressed with the creativity and standard of English the students demonstrated.

I was also asked to give a small presentation on my own culture and share my experiences with many of the English classes. All of the staff and students are extremely inviting and excited to meet volunteers. I never felt anything but welcomed by them. While the students were shy sometimes, they were also very curious about different cultures and were happy to talk and ask questions once they were familiar with me.

On weekends and during free time, I was able to explore many of the beautiful beaches, hiking spots, and local gathering places. Mrs. Erna was also very involved in helping me try new foods and taking me to travel to other parts of the island. I particularly loved hanging out with Mrs. Erna and her family. They constantly invited me to go out with them, and Mrs. Erna always made sure that I felt at home and had everything I could possibly need. She is a very organized, joyful, and easy person to get along with. I have no doubt that other volunteers will have a positive experience meeting with her. Mrs. Erna was also very helpful when I needed to obtain a C6 social visa. She went to the immigration office several times for me to help get all the correct documents and make sure everything went smoothly.

Throughout the weekdays, I stayed at my own one-room apartment in a faculty dormitory that is next to the school. The accommodations were nice, and the room was clean and well kept with its own AC unit, western toilet, closet, and bed. The apartment is only a 2 min walk from the school, so it was very easy to go to school in the morning. On the weekends, I got the opportunity to stay at Mrs. Erna’s house and spend Saturday and Sunday with her family.

The city of Pangkalpinang is also nice with many restaurants, coffee shops, local markets, and parks to visit. Indonesian people are very kind and generous, and their culture is fascinating to learn about. Using motorbikes is the most common way to get around the city. I typically just rode with Mrs. Erna or one of her kids, or I used the taxi service (Grab or Gojek) that is available here.

Overall, I would rate my experience here as excellent. The people, community, and environment are wonderful. The accommodations are comfortable. The food is amazing. Additionally, there are many beautiful places to explore, whether you like the mountains, beach, or the city. I would 100% recommend this program to other Workawayers!

Alex, with his calm, patient style and his deep respect for the students, teachers, and even me as the host, in his use of English, garnered a lot of attention and sympathy from everyone.
