Description
Yayasan Widya Sari is a unique foundation located in the heart of a small, rural village in Bali, Indonesia. At the foundation we offer local Balinese students the opportunity to learn English and gain the confidence needed to obtain work outside their remote village community. Because Bali's job market revolves around tourism, learning English gives these children and their families a better chance at success. Our non-profit invites international volunteers to spend time in a traditional fishing village where their skills and knowledge will go a long way in the lives of the students. When you teach here, you are fully immersed into one of the most unique cultures in the world and the staff and students, all local Balinese, make you feel like part of a large family. Yayasan Widya Sari, is run by a young committed man, Ketut, originally from the Tianyar region in Bali himself.
