Volunteering to help kids in village?

Posted by djentley on Monday, 15. February 2010 at 16:17 Bali Time:

I was wondering whether there exists some form of student exchange/volunteer work program someone my age (17) could do in a village setting in Bali. One that involves learing the culture and helping to teach (and play with) the chldren for several weeks, preferably in a location nearby Ubud.

The International Humanity Foundation runs one I have investigated, however that seems to be set more within the city.
