The Sukma Helen Flavel Learning Centre was built in two stages, the ground floor was completed in February 2006 with the second floor being completed in December 2007.  The centre offers afterhours classes to the children from the poorest families in the Singaraja and mountain areas of the Buleleng Regency in Northern Bali. These children are able to attend classes in English, Computing, Cross Cultural Studies, Animals Care, Drama, Balinese Dance, music, sewing and help is offered with any subject that the student may have difficulty with at school. These classes are offered to the children free of charge by fully qualified Balinese teachers.

The children who are eligible to attend the Learning Centre come from the neediest in the area. Their parents or guardians work in the rice fields or find employment as labourers where ever possible and do not have the money to help their children with extra schooling. It is difficult for many of the students to get to the centre for classes so the centre runs a mobile service picking the children up from their villages and returning them home after the classes are finished each day

With ten classrooms, the centre is large enough to accommodate up to 180 children who attend the centre on any given day. The Learning Centre is home to 33 boarders who attend the local Secondary and High Schools. All accommodation and meals for the students is given free of charge and where possible we also buy their clothing.  The boarders attend the afterhours classes seven days a week. In April 2007 the boarders started their own vegetable garden project where they grow all the vegetables needed for their meals.  These meals are cooked over an open fire by our housemother with the students helping to prepare their meals.  

The centre has a Kindergarten for children aged from three years old to six years old. The children attend classes from 7.30am to 10am six days a week.  A fee is charged for these classes and the profit from the kindergarten is used to cover Electricity, water, phone and petrol needed to keep the centre running
