Wonosobo is a regency located in Dieng Plateau, 129 km far away from Semarang, the capital city of Central Java.

Mount Sindoro and Mount Sumbing with the green valleys of the tea plantation flourish the area. There is an old heritage, Dieng Temple and
also natural tourism area. Our project will be working together with the Congregation Suster Putri Maria and Yosef which takes care children with deaf & mute disability. Each of students has different family background; some of them are from broken home families with the parents not take care of the children. Thus, this congregation has a dormitory house provided for the children and a school to educate them. The presence of volunteers would be meaningful for the children bringing happiness with intercultural dimension that would make a different experience for them.

This project will be focusing on educational and manual work. We will also perform an English teaching and other activities with local kids such as games plays, making handicrafts, assisting the students of doing homework, assisting cooking etc. While in the afternoon volunteers will work on painting orphanage building.

The volunteers will be introduced to the Indonesian culture and customs in general, with a special focus on the Javanese particularities. Some cultural visits are also foreseen.

During free time, the volunteers will have the chance to visit Dieng Plateau and Rainbow Lake which are quite famous in the area.

The volunteers will be accommodated in dormitory house with shared bathroom (basic conditions, sleeping bag and mat needed) where they will also receive food together with the children.

This work camp will be conducted in Wonosobo Regency which is located 3 hours by car from Semarang.
