Al-Azhari is a small Moslem orphanage in the outskirts of Semarang city with very simple basic facilities. The orphanage is situated in a somehow remote area with no public transportation available to reach it after 6pm, but the children are very motivated to learn new things and to get in touch with foreign volunteers. There are about 35 children living there in very simple conditions. Al Azhari is quite a challenging project for the international volunteers because of the characteristics and nature of the project itself. This orphanage has a basic Moslem education system combined with the formal Indonesian system and targets low educated and poor inhabitants. Do not be surprised if the children will request you for candies, small presents or even money because of the poverty that their family and them have to face. The main role of the volunteer is to make sure that a 3 months package of English lessons material can be delivered to the children. English is preferable because it is one of the most difficult subjects at school for them. Other works that should be done by the volunteers are capacity building to increase self confidence of the children, increasing awareness on personal health and hygiene, and increasing the awareness of the children for their environment with topics such as garbage disposal.

Daarul Aitam orphanage is one of the orphanages in Pekalongan (around 3 hours from Semarang) giving opportunity for orphan children and children from poor families of the surrounding areas to have access to education and a place to stay and grow as all children should. There are more than 100 children living in this institution which provides several kinds of activities especially linked with education and skills development of the children. This orphanage is a good example of how society (in this case batik's entrepreneurs) can address the social needs of the local people such as, for instance, having an institution for orphan children. There you can find self managed activities for the children with very good management, but they still need the help of volunteers to run the activities especially due to their lack of English skills and intercultural learning because contact with foreign people and foreign cultures is such a rare opportunity for these children.
The role of the volunteers in this project will be focused on three main areas - they should help children to improve their motivation levels especially in education; they are expected to help the staff of the orphanage to create activities for the children in their spare time; they should act as the bridge between the children world with the international world so that children can enhance their vision about the world and their future.
