Job Search and Business Development Program RESTORE THE BALANCE between a need for a livelihood and the need for a healthy environment. Break this destructive cycle of poverty and environmental degradation. - R.O.L.E. believes that abject poverty and environmental degradation are inextricably linked. Over fishing, beachfront development, ever increasing waste discharge and upstream pollutants have placed marine resources, including tropical coral reefs, lagoons, and local fisheries in sharp environmental decline. The income derived, the food sourced and the protein and nutrition attained from these resources by most coastal communities have dried up or become insufficient. - ECO-LEARNING CENTER PROGRAM: Because of steep population growth; transmigration from the cities; high unemployment; and failed business, farming and fishing methods; individuals and communities, in desperation, sometimes look for quick solutions to gain a livelihood. To earn an income they turn to environmentally destructive practices such as trading in endangered species; slash and burn farming practices in rainforest, woodlands and national parks; and salting (poisoning) of the rivers, creeks and waterways. These destructive practices, combined with shrinking available land for traditional farming of rice and cows, swell the number of people living below or near the poverty line, and destroys their environment. - Women Vocational Skills Program

Bonjour! Alliance Française in Bali is part of a network of more than 1 000 Alliances Françaises around the world. In each country we are regulated by local law, bound by a common purpose to the Paris Alliance, and ruled by a local committee. For over a century, the Alliance Française has been seeing through an ambitious project: spreading French language and culture well beyond the borders of France. Since 1989, Alliance Française in Denpasar, a non profit organisation, has been providing French classes for kids, teenagers and adults. As the only institution teaching French in Bali, we offer courses in our premises in Denpasar, but we can also provide classes in primary schools for instance, as part of an extra-curricular learning programme. We believe that primary school children can learn with fun. We aim to help children develop an ear for the language and offer an enjoyable experience in a stimulating learning environment. Our classes are small groups of a maximum of 10 children and our communicative approach ensures that every child is given ample opportunity to actually speak French. Schools and kinder gardens also like to visit our place as a representation of France, to give kids an insight of the language and the culture. Please feel free to drop by and ask for further details!

The Starfish Language Centre, located in downtown Ubud,– provides  the opportunity for underprivileged Balinese children to study English from  volunteer native speakers for free. Learning English, Indonesian, Japanese, French, Spanish at Starfish Language Centre is a unique experience involving an interactive environment, with native speakers as teachers. Additionally, Starfish is currently the only school in Bali whose mission is to provide impoverished local Balinese access to language programs in order to enhance their job prospects. To subsidize the education of Balinese children,  Starfish arranges language classes for travelers, expatriates, as well as for local businesses (including BRI Bank, Yayasan Bumi Sehat- local midwives clinic, and Ubud Property-real estate company). Internationally,Starfish Language Centre attracts the support of many travelers willing to volunteer, and works strategically with students from the  Wharton Business School at theUniversity of Pennsylvania). With much foreign and domestic encouragement, Starfish aims to increase student enrollments by 50% as well as expand  program offerings  by 2011 to include computer and design programs. It all begins with awareness of the opportunities languages can bring to the Balinese community - giving back is the key to maintaining the vitality of the local culture and economy - and the Starfish Language Centre is here to help.
