This was my first work experience and honestly I could not be happier. The opportunity to come here and be welcomed into a family is understated. I was welcomed into the school, the culture, the experience and treated like a member of their large family. They fed me until I was full and provided my own private room with a western toilet. There is… read more

First and foremost, I'm very sorry for leaving this feedback quite late.

Anyway, this was my first workaway experience and it could not have gone any better. The place is located on the foot of Mount Gede in Sukabumi with temperatures min 17-21 degrees. Although Mount Gede is still an active volcano, it hasnt erupted for over 100 over years.… read more Anyway, Indonesia has a good warning system. The place suffers no natural disasters too. so you need not be afraid.

About my experience, from the first time i met them till I went back home, I was literally treated like a King, no kidding. They fed me, constantly asked me how i was doing etc. The place and people are very friendly and welcoming. The kids are also very friendly. They are an english speaking school with a very open minded point of view. The school focuses on educating the kids so that they are exposed to the world outside of their own comfort zone. I feel that they have a very good vision of education.

Mostly, what you will be doing there is teaching/interacting with the kids and the local people there. They love to hear your stories about your country. If you know anything about Upin and Ipin (do some research), it will be good. The kids will love you. There are building works going on in the area too. So you can lend a hand if you want.

I believe this school needs help in terms of education as there are not many teachers available for them. So before coming, it's best for you to do some research on maths, geography, economics, science, physics, chemistry. Bring your notes from school or google it. Their syllabus' language is bahasa Indonesia. If you do not understand bahasa indonesia, it's fine. Just explain it in theory so that they will get the picture. The kids will love you for that.

Their daily schedule is 3am-10pm. It may seem like a lot. but fret not, you are free to join in any class at any point of time whenever you like. Just check with the headmaster first or Dani.

Another word of advice, if you choose to volunteer at this place, make sure you commit yourself to it. I have heard of volunteers who treat this place like hotel. It is a school. Be sure to know your objective to come here. If you want to party, this is not the place. This is not couchsurfing or any hotel/dormitory. This place is for people who really want to help the school and make it a better place.

After saying all of this, you will have the most enjoyable time in this place, like I had. The kids will love you. They will let you try sunda food. teach you a little about their language and culture. They will drive you around their village and town area and look at picturesque scenery and their beautiful place. They will give you food until you are really full. I mean they really treat you like you are family and I am not exaggerating.

I spent a week there only and I wish I could have spent more time there. 1 week is really too short. However, Singapore and Indonesia is just 2 hours away. Next time, I will definitely bring my family and friends there. Looking forward to visiting this school again in the near future.

Once again, I would like to thank headmaster Abi, Dani, and the wonderful people there for treating me ever so nice. I have been volunteering in many countries and I got to say this place is probably the best places to volunteer at. I believe i can never get the same treatment as i got anywhere else. Trust me, I cried on my way back home from this place. They are that nice. I went there hoping to play a part in improving their life. But they are the ones who made an impact on me. Hope it will for you too.

Last but not least, I hope you choose to volunteer at this place. This place legitimately needs your help. To other workawayers, feel free to PM me if you want to know more about this place. I am happy to let you in on more information. what to bring, what to expect, what better you can do for them, etc. I made very detailed notes on this place during my stay there. :)

This was my first workaway experience and I think it could not have gone any better than this for a first time. Everyone was always so friendly and hospitable that I could not keep myself from thinking "Are they just roleplaying?" But no, the teachers and students of this school were always sincere when they smiled at me and I think I will never… read more

In more than a year of traveling in 3 continents, volunteering at this school has been one of my favorite experiences. You’ll never meet a group of students more gracious, thoughtful, and welcoming than the students of this Islamic Boarding School. They will forever be in my heart. The staff of the school are also amazing and understanding people… read more

[1st i have to address the negative review from "Debbie". I think that anyone with an open-mind can see that she was being extremely close-minded, and that Europeans or Americans who travel to a distant country need to understand the culture and traditions of that place before judging it so harshly. Eurocentrists need not appply, lol]

Such a great experience in Sukabumi, I recommend going there if you want to have a different experience... culture, religion, tradition… most of the children are orphans and the happiness, the smiles they have, the share is incredible...

teaching in the school is one of the best experiences in my trip, living in the school with the staff, the… read more

I absolutly dont recommend going there .. this is a real traditional islamic school in a remote suburb of Sukabumi. You'll be expected to follow the students schedule along and cannot leave the boarding school by yourself. My boyfriend and me were supposed to sleep seperate as long as we're not married. Add to that they have horrible toilet/bath… read more
