Volunteer Program Fee
Yayasan Widya Sari is a Balinese founded and Indonesian registered Non-Profit organization (‘Yayasan’), where 100% of funds raised go directly back into sustaining our learning centers, employing local staff, and providing our children with the opportunity of Sponsorship and free education. With the help of volunteer teachers, we are able to assist the children of our region in obtaining the skills and confidence that will in turn help them to support themselves and their families in this rapidly changing world.
Past volunteers have chosen to join us at Program By the Sea and Program Ubud Village as they felt secure in knowing their funds went back into a program run solely by the Balinese people. No middle agents have profited from our volunteers or from the needs of our children.
