After much planning and preparation the day is finally here! Our service journey begins as we arrive in Bali, ready to immerse ourselves in a meaningful humanitarian experience. Our local team will be waiting to greet you at the airport and welcome you to Indonesia. We'll transfer to our hotel in Sanur to check in, settle and have a full trip and safety briefing with our guides. This evening is an opportunity to rest, connect as a group and prepare for the important work ahead. Tonight we will sample the local cuisine at a local restaurant with a welcome dinner.

This morning we travel to the small village of Bedulu and check into our community stay, where we will be warmly welcomed by our host family. After settling in, we attend an orientation at the Yayasan Widya Guna centre to gain a deeper understanding of its mission supporting children with special needs and those from underprivileged backgrounds. A guided tour of the village and centre provides important context about the local community and the impact of grassroots humanitarian initiatives. In the afternoon, we join members of the community at the Balai Banjar for some local sports matches against the village kids. At sunset, we'll head out for a walk amongst the rice paddies before coming back to our homestay to enjoy a delicious Balinese meal. Overnight: Bedulu community stay

This morning we begin with the daily morning ritual alongside YWG students, an inclusive and uplifting practice that reinforces respect and unity. Our group then divides, rotating between assisting in special needs classrooms and undertaking practical service work around the centre. We'll assist both teachers and physiotherapists and tasks may include classroom support, resource preparation, maintenance and helping to deliver engaging learning activities. In the afternoon, groups continue rotating to ensure all students contribute across different areas of need. This evening we travel to Ubud for dinner at a local restaurant, followed by time at the night market. This is a great opportunity to learn about the economy in the community.

Today strengthens both cultural awareness and service impact. We participate in an offering class to better understand the spiritual foundations that guide Balinese daily life. We then join the YWG students for the morning ritual before continuing our rotations through classroom assistance and centre support activities. In the afternoon, we'll join a Traditional Batik Painting class with the students. This is a fabulous opportunity to be creative, work together, and really understand the lives of the people you have been working alongside. Overnight: Bedulu Homestay

This morning we return to the centre for the morning ritual that is now starting to feel like regular routine. The majority of the day is dedicated to structured service rotations, supporting the special needs classes and assisting with priority tasks identified by the centre. Our focus remains on reliability, teamwork and meaningful contribution. In the afternoon, we once again join community sport at the Balai Banjar, recognising that shared recreation plays an important role in inclusion and social wellbeing. Overnight: Bedulu Homestay

Our final full day at the centre begins with the morning ritual, followed by continued classroom and service support. With a stronger understanding of individual needs and centre routines, we aim to contribute confidently and respectfully. As a thankyou for all of our contribution, a children’s dance performance offers a joyful conclusion to our time together. We'll share a heartfelt farewell with our new found friends, celebrating all we have shared. In the evening, we participate in an organic cooking class, preparing traditional dishes using locally sourced ingredients. The best part about this session is we get to eat our creations for dinner!

An early start takes us north as we bid goodbye to Bedulu for a volcano hike, where we'll aim to get a spectacular view of the island sunrise. We'll then visit a local coffee plantation to learn about agricultural practices and the role of farming in supporting village economies. In the afternoon, we travel to Sanur and check into our accommodation. This evening, we'll gather for a beach dinner and bonfire, where we will have a chance to discuss and reflect on the trip so far and our work in assisting these communities. Overnight: Sanur Hotel

Today is a very exciting day as we participate in a full day coral restoration workshop with the Livingseas Foundation.
