About our cause

I am in my 2nd year of a degree in philosophy and psychology at the University of Edinburgh. This summer I am volunteering in Bali, Indonesia for a month working with SLV, a charity who provide work experiences for psychology students in the mental health sector. I will be working with patients of different ages and abilities, teaching English and planning group creative projects. During my time in Bali, I am staying with a local family, an experience I am very grateful for and excited about. The money I raise will go towards materials and resources for the clinic and also to my home-stay family, who are kindly providing me with food and a place to stay. I am embarking on this project in the hopes to further my experience and understanding in working with those living with mental illnesses or psychiatric disorders, a cause I am very passionate about and believe should be handled with greater care and seriousness across the globe. While I am aware it may be emotionally challenging to see how some of the most vulnerable members of society are treated in Indonesia, I feel it important I see this first hand, should I want to eventually work in the mental health sector. I also feel very grateful to be able to be a part of a more positive treatment approach, and proud to add to the amazing work SLV do for this small Indonesian community.
