  Description

  Hello I'm Nisa. Me and my family own a private educational foundation inIndonesia. It has been established since 2004. This School is an Islamic and Inclusive School in Karawang. Dedicated to raising a generation of young Quran memorizers who possess strong life skills, leadership qualities, and excellent adab. In inclusivity, we accept some special students placed in the same environment with other students.
  
  We have around 40 staffs who work here, 15 of them are shadow teachers and the other are regular classroom teachers. Karawang may looked a quite big/modern city but in fact we have a quite large gap between schools that located in the heart of the city and some schools in suburban area. Despite all limitations, we still want to provide as best as we can for the students including the experience of using english in reality.
  
  Most importantly, we hope your time with us will be more than just a volunteering experience. We hope you’ll go home with wonderful memories, meaningful cultural experiences, and friendships that last long after your stay.

We’re always happy to recommend places to visit and help you experience West Java from a local perspective.
  
  Most importantly, we hope your time with us will be more than just a volunteering experience. We hope you’ll go home with wonderful memories, meaningful cultural experiences, and friendships that last long after your stay. And if you play tennis, we can also play or even practice together!
