What’s a Balabala?
Balabala is a term which refers to a traditional bark shade structure. They have evolved to feature a canvas tarp shade and corrugated steel roof, wooden and steel poles and steel mesh screening. The buildings have no solid walls to ensure they’ve got maximum airflow. There are lights, ceiling fans, a composting loo and shower, as well as a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove. The balabala’s are fully furnished, including all white-goods and fast WiFi. Remote teaching staff live in private, non-shared balabalas.
