Volunteer in Healthcare Education in Ubud, Bali

I loved my experience in Bali Indonesia and booking through IVHQ! It was the best trip getting to meet people from all over the world and travel around Bali learning about the culture and trying so many new things. I worked on the Health Education project teaching students in local schools. It was so easy to book this two week trip and navigate the site to find a program that was right for me and connected to my major of dietetics/nutrition and find a location that I was excited about that had it all. I would definitely book through IVHQ again and I’m so excited to think about the next possible program I’ll go on or the new people I’ll meet in the future!

I think IVHQ set me up really well for my program and gave me all the resources I needed. From my experience volunteering in Bali, I gained a much deeper sense of cultural awareness, adaptability, and appreciation for the resilience and curiosity of the kids I worked with. Teaching health education in underserved schools taught me how powerful small contributions can be. Whether it was helping a child understand a basic hygiene practice or simply creating a safe and fun space for learning. I also developed confidence in communicating across language and cultural barriers, which strengthened both my teaching and interpersonal skills. For someone hesitant about joining this program, I would say that stepping outside of your comfort zone is one of the most rewarding parts of the experience. It’s natural to feel unsure, but the relationships you build, the perspective you gain, and the positive impact you can make far outweigh the initial nerves. Go in with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and the understanding that you’ll get just as much out of the experience as you give.

Volunteering in Bali for the Healthcare education through IVHQ in overall makes my experience great. It was a transformative experience that combined meaningful service with cultural immersion for me. From contributing to community projects like teaching the basic healthcare education and cultural discovery through introduction week with soaking in Bali's stunning landscapes and vibrant traditions, every moment was deeply fulfilling for me. The journey highlighted the impact of collective effort, fostering personal growth and giving back where needed, gratitude, and a deeper connection to the world. It’s a highly recommended experience for those seeking purpose, seeking adventure, and seeking a meaningful way to explore the world.
