We all have a moment in our lives when you stop and think, "This will change me forever." My volunteering experience in Indonesia in July 2010 was just that...In the village where bananas are sweet as honey and people take life as it comes to them, I learned that in Indonesia the culture is intertwined with religion and happiness is for one's taking, only if one dares to plant peanuts with bare feet under the blazing sun, becoming one with the soil and drinking a cup of hot tea with fried banana chips."

All of the locals in the village I met were so kind and hospitable and did everything they could to ensure we had a fantastic stay there which we of course did. After school we would help with renovations on the school bathroom however because it was still the rainy season we were unable to work for 3 or 4 of the days. We tore the old roof down and built a more stable one after laying parts of the brick walls. In addition in some of the evenings we went over to some of the locals houses to teach more English to some of the kids." R. Robson ~ Indonesia 2010
