The company we wish to volunteer with is called International Volunteer Headquarters (IVHQ). IVHQ have a key focus on responsible projects which have positive sustainable impacts that are supporting the local needs. The project we wish to volunteer on is in Lovina, Bali. The projects focuses on renovating schools and infrastructure within the local community. There will be a local coordinator who will provide guidance and training throughout our time on the project, enabling us to learn new skills.

The money we are looking for, will be used for several different things. These include:

Flights to the project location (Bali)

Cost of the programme. This include building materials and our accommodation for the duration etc.

Visas and vaccinations.

The tasks we will be undertaking include: cleaning and making repairs within schools or the community, painting, laying tiles, landscaping and gardening. We have chosen this project as we strongly believe there should be facilities in every community where the residents can go to learn and we would like to help make this happen. We also see this project as an opportunity to understand and have first-hand experience of some of the tasks the operatives do on site. As a Civil Engineer this understanding and knowledge will benefit us whether we go into Design or Site Engineering.
