This upcoming June, I am going to Bali to do volunteering within a community. My volunteering roles will include:

Providing activities /workshops for children with special needs

Running activities in an inpatient psychiatric facility

Teaching English to people of all ages in the community

The current facilities providing these services are very under-resourced, and therefore they truly benefit from the work of volunteers. During my work in the psychiatric facility and with specific needs schools, I will be leading classes and activities that focus on the specific needs of the individuals, giving them a safe space to express themselves creatively, as well as having someone new to communicate with.

The types of activities I will be running includes anything from improving memory to emotional intelligence and mindfulness classes. Some more examples can be found at: https://slv.global/slvbali-project-planning-information.

Teaching English in the community - to children and adults of all ages - can allow these individuals to develop their language skills and thus give them access to a much broader range of jobs as being able to speak English is a commodity in Indonesia.

By donating to this cause you could be aiding the development of children in poverty and improving the lives of those with disabilities and mental health conditions in an undeveloped country.

The money raised with go towards my visa, SLV global fee ( the company that arranges this work) and required vaccinations.
