The International Humanity Foundation is looking for volunteers to serve our centres in Jakarta, Bali, Aceh and Medan, Indonesia, and be friends and teachers to our children. By bringing together disadvantaged children of Indonesia and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both. Unlike our other centers, the one is Bali is not an orphanage but only an education center. No children stay there, but many come for the classes held there.

Work

IHF needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, whether a student or retired professional, IHF needs you. At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on international tasks. The centre host English, computer and math classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in.

Positions

IHF offers a variety of positions at the centres depending on the interests and abilities of the volunteers. At-centre volunteers can either be short- or long-term. Short-term volunteers work at our centre for at least a month but no longer than a year and are expected to pay USD $50 a week for room and board. Long-term volunteers serve at least a year and are paid a monthly living stipend beginning at USD $120 and increasing to USD $160 after three months of training. If you are not interested in working with an international task team but still interested in staying at our centre and teaching the children, you may pay USD $200 a week to forgo this requirement. Volunteers are also welcome to serve just from home by joining one of the international teams.

Typical Volunteer: Our volunteers have a passion for immersion in foreign cultures, an openness to new experiences and flexible approach to work. At our centres they will work with local staff and directly with the local population in conditions very different from the Western world. Special projects constantly arise from moving food during famine feeds to monitoring children during breaks. Our volunteers have a lot of say in what they do as long as it is approved by the director and follows the mission of IHF.

Mission Statement:

IHF focuses on educating and feeding children who come from the most marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds. IHF has set up orphanages in Kenya, Indonesia and Thailand. We seek to provide a way for children to get an education that they desperately desire and are not able to receive. By educating and teaching these children that they are significant and competent, we also teach them that everyone has a voice that matters. IHF promotes self-sufficiency in the communities we work in, primarily focusing on the education, nutrition, and care of children. IHF encourages understanding and caring between people of all nations and religions in order to better prepare the leaders of future generations.
