About
This school located in the part of Balai banjar (community building), in east Bali. Children are studying in open and mess area. They have very few school supplies, teaching resources and educational toys. The school is often cancelled as the community need to share the building for ceremonies (they use community building as usual). The longest ‘shut down’ has been for 3 months. The school desperately needs a new building. Teachers often borrow whatever supplies they can and are paid 200,000 IDR ($17 USD) per month for teaching 2 hours each day.

About
Located in Tejakula, almost on the north coast of Bali, this school is located in one of Bali’s most beautiful areas. Two local villages send their early learners here. Their school building situation is as bad as it looks. Despite a nice big space, the building is crumbling away. The window frame could easily fall through at any time. The roof has holes in it and is leaking. Put simply, the current condition is a danger to children, but it’s all the village have. We plan to renovate the building, reinforcing the walls, new windows, doors, roof and ceiling. Once renovated this school could easily be one of the best in it’s area.

About
This pre-school activities is located in remote area at the foot of Mt. Agung. The dedicated teachers run activities at community building (banjar building) every morning. It’s a borrowed building, but has a decent size room that the school is allowed to use indefinitely. The dedicated teacher is very creative, despite lacking materials and supplies. Given new materials and supplies the school could have far greater educational standards. Along with providing teacher training, we plan to provide new furniture, arts and crafts, library corner, sports equipment and a full complement of educational toys.

About
This Kindergarten activities are run out of an enclave in the local community building (known as the ‘banjar’ building). The village knows it is important to give it’s youngsters early stage learning, but as with others, there is no other building to operate from. With very little supplies and a small space, it’s no permanent solution for the school. Ideally, we will build a dedicated new building, complete with full supplies and equipment. The school is in Karengasem, not far from Mount Agung.

About
Playdough, lego, puzzle are strange things for children in this preschool. Why? Because they never see those kind of educational toys. They usually use a pencil and notebook for study everyday at school. Once again, this school is currently moonlighting in the local community banjar building. It is located in Karengasem – Bali’s poorest regency. The school runs well and makes a nice fresh outdoor learning environment. To improve quality, providing full furniture, arts and crafts supplies, games, toys and more will make a huge impact on quality of education. As with all schools we support, we will keep a close eye on development as well as helping train teachers in effective early stage education.
