    Over het programma

    Dolphin:
    Volunteering with BDF and our charity partners in Lovina to work on dolphin conservation is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it directly contributes to the protection of marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Dolphins play a vital role in the health of oceanic environments, and by safeguarding their habitat, we are preserving a crucial aspect of our planet's ecological balance.

    Moreover, this mission holds significant importance for the promotion of responsible tourism practices. By collecting data on dolphin behavior and habitat, we can better understand their needs and vulnerabilities, thereby enabling us to develop sustainable eco-tourism initiatives. This not only enhances the experience for tourists but also ensures that our interactions with dolphins are respectful and non-disruptive to their natural habitat.

    Furthermore, engaging in dolphin conservation efforts in Lovina demonstrates our commitment to community empowerment and collaboration. By partnering with local charities and residents, we not only foster a sense of ownership and stewardship over the environment but also empower communities to actively participate in conservation efforts.

    Overall, volunteering for dolphin conservation with BDF and our charity partners in Lovina is not only about protecting a charismatic marine species but also about promoting sustainable practices, fostering community engagement, and preserving the delicate balance of our marine ecosystems for future generations.

    Coral Reef:

    Volunteering for coral reef restoration with our partner charities at BDF is crucial for preserving marine biodiversity and ecosystem health. Coral reefs are vital habitats that support a diverse array of marine life and provide essential ecosystem services such as shoreline protection and carbon sequestration.

    By actively participating in restoration efforts, volunteers contribute to the regeneration of damaged reefs, which in turn enhances resilience to climate change impacts and supports the livelihoods of coastal communities. Volunteering for coral reef restoration is not just about saving corals; it's about safeguarding the future of our oceans and the communities that depend on them.

    This project aims to raise awareness around unsustainable tourism practices that pose a threat on the multiple species of dolphins in the Lovina area.

    Over de organisatie

    A Social Educational Program based on: Reshaping Minds on Dyslexia and supporting disadvantaged children in remote locations in North Bali, Indonesia.

    Ontmoet je organisatie

    We are a non-profit organization situated in North Bali providing classroom support to dyslexic children and teacher-training programs which embody the latest research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively in the classrooms of Bali.

    The population of Bali, Indonesia is over 4.2 million. Catering for a growing population there are hundreds of underfunded schools with little or no material to practice inclusive education.

    Dyslexia in Bali is misunderstood for laziness leading children to feel frustrated and discouraged.

    Bali Dyslexia Foundation is proud to be Bali’s first free service offering teacher training, student assessment, ongoing support, and student scholarships specifically for students with dyslexia.

                          Student Intervention

    Opportunities for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia to progress and develop their knowledge at the same pace as their peers.
    Students to access the same opportunities, such as employment and moving onto tertiary or further education.
    Bali Dyslexia Foundation will enable children with dyslexia to become all that they can be without prejudice or shame.
    Providing tailored resources to meet the needs of the learners.
    Effective interventions ‘personalize learning’ by matching provision to meet children’s individual needs and quicken the pace of learning for those with literacy difficulties, thus narrowing the attainment gap with their typically developing peers.

    Teacher Intervention

    Our teacher training courses provide teachers, TA's and other education staff with the knowledge and skills to support their dyslexic students. Onsite training and tailored one to one programs are offered to all teachers who are on the program.
    We are a non-profit organization that offers teacher-training programs which embody the latest scientific research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively around the world.
