Yayasan Belajar Widya Seraya in Seraya was founded in 2009 by Stichting Bali Bundar in cooperation with WINS. The Child sponsor program and Education program were implemented successfully.  

In 2014 they became “self sufficient”, which is the main goal of the WINS concept. The Learning Center pays operational and salary costs itself with the income it makes out from it’s own sources, such as renting the guest rooms to volunteers and visitors and providing a transport service.

This Learning Center is managed by  Wayan Berata and his family.

In 2008 he took the initiative to support the unprivileged children in his village to get education.

Without any support and help, he started classes on the veranda of his private home.  

The Learning Center has 3 outside classrooms, one fully equipped computer room, one smaller classroom/library, a fully equipped sport field, an outside swimming  pool and a lot of space outside to do all kinds of activities with the children.

The Learning Center offers accommodation.
The  7 comfortable guest rooms are located at the Learning Center itself ; two next to the house of Mr. Wayan  and five rooms  with sea view. There a swimming pool with a magnificent view on the ocean.

You stay with a Balinese family and  enjoy daily live in the village. They serve home cooked breakfast and  lunch, diner is optional, There is a variety of dishes, including a vegetarian menu.

By staying in the Learning Centers guest room and using the  transport and tour facilities, you also support the Learning Center, for this is an extra source of income, that makes it possible for them to run their Learning Center, as a self-sufficient organization.
