Challenge yourself

There are a variety of community projects whom we work with in Bali. You may spend time learning about setting up social enterprises or taking part in a sustainable income project. The environment is an important issue to consider in Bali, and across Indonesia, where plastic use and waste is a major concern. We work with communities on educational and recycling initiatives.
