Through and big sweet tooth / 4th World Love I found out about a volunteering diversion from my Bali vacation.
Misty, co-founder of 4thworldlove arranged for me to meet Am, her man on the ground in Lombok and they set up accommodations for me at the local homestay in Sembalun Village as well as a car to lug my too big luggage.
When I first spoke to Am on the phone he he sounded so friendly and familiar, when I met him my assumptions were validated, from there, all the people I met in Sembalun were equally as friendly and welcoming, really awesome people with the brightest smiles. They really left a huge impression on me, so much so I hope to be working with them in the future. I’m definitely planning on going back.
In the classroom at the 4thWorldLove community centre, people were eager to attend, no matter how much English they understood, it was great to ‘teach’ them my little lesson on global warming. After class we were treated to a lovely lunch cooked by Upa, her husband is a local Mount Rinjani trek guide, and their baby Azizi is the sweetest little who needs heart surgery that 4thWorldLove is facilitating.
