Background: MIM Dempul is one of kind of private schools in the level of elementary school. It is located in Dempul village, Gemolong subdistrict, Sragen Regency. This school was founded in 1950. The school consists of 1st until 6th grade. And each grade consists of approximately 19 students, small number comparing to the student number in other elementary school which usually consists of 30 up to 40 students. There are 9 teachers all together, including the head master who doubled his/her job to teach the students as well due to the limited number of teachers. Sometimes one teacher teaches 1 until 2 subjects in the class because the school has no enough funds to hire more teachers. Since it is private school, the school has to accommodate the school needs independently in the term of facility and the financial. It doesn't receive enough financial support from the government to improve the school facilities like the other states school. Moreover, it is located in the village so the students have low motivation in learning. Most of their parents are working as farmer, carpenter and trader. Therefore, they have no idea the importance of education but still there are some parents working as teacher or government officer. By hosting volunteers in this school, we hope that the students are motivated and courage to study more. Moreover, this project is expected to open parent's mind concerning the importance of education toward their children. Since the school is located in the village the students rarely interact with foreigners or international volunteers, this pilot project will be a stepping stone for the school, teacher as well as local people in the term of global understanding. This project is also aimed to support the school needs due to the lack of facilities such as library and knowledge book.

Background: Bali Island is a densely populated island, with population more that 3 million people all together. The population is almost all Indonesian, 95% are of Balinese Hindu descent and could be describe as ethic Balinese. Bali is also a tiny, extremely fertile and dramatically mountainous island. It is only 140 km by 80 km. The tourism boom, which started in 1970s has brought many changes and has helped pay for improvement in roads, telecommunication, education and health.

Bali disabled School was founded with the aim to cater for the needs of disabled children and youth in Bali and the surrounding areas.

We would like to host foreign volunteers because we believe that their interaction with the children, during education and vocational classes and other therapeutic activities will be of great benefit as our students have little or no chances to meet and live with people from other cultures. The intercultural dimension that their presence will generate will also be welcomed and valued by the local staffs. The support that the volunteers will give to our teaching staff, particularly those teaching English, will be invaluable.
Work:
The role of the volunteers will be assisting local teacher in classes like teaching basic conversation in English, helping teacher in giving training on physical activities of the disabled students like making simple handicrafts, playing, doing simple sport etc . His/Her influence on students is expected to create a sense of knowledge of other realities of the disabled kids and other cultures in a way that improves their own perception of themselves and what they can achieve. Also to open the mind of international volunteers that the disabled students also need attention to face their future. It will also give opportunity for the international volunteers about the treatment that should be done by the families of disabled children.
