Free Eco School

English classes with international teachers

Teaching the young children English is one of our main objectives. We believe that a knowledge of this global language will serve them significantly in their future lives. Already now, a large percentage of Toraja's economy is based on international tourism and the job market in the branch is growing rapidly. However, here, in the remote jungle of central Sulawesi, the rest of the world is incredibly far away and awareness for the significance of globalization staggerinly low. To bring the reality of a world-outside into the children's minds we are thrilled to have a constant flow of international volunteers, who are willing to offer their time and knowledge to their pupils. Being confronted with different cultures, learning new ways of communicating and playing games, the children are visibly enjoying the classes, which are entirely voluntary for them.

Get involved

Our connection to the land runs deep. We often grow more than we can consume and gladly share seeds, seedlings, and harvests with neighbors and friends. For those interested in sustainable farming, organic gardening, or teaching English, we warmly invite you to explore our volunteering opportunities.

Apart from the volunteers, our project depends on outside support. The profits from the Workshops and Homestay guests directly fund the costs to run the Eco school. Spreading our story on social media is thus an essential contribution to our project's wellfaring.

All other expenses, like building renovations, watering systems and extra tools and materials have to be covered externally by fundraising campains. We appreciate every little contribution that can help us advance the children's prospectives in our tiny part of the world.
