Teaching English, playing with kids and making bookshelves for the new library in Teluk Wetan

November 14 - November 28, 2009
Surrounded by a rice field, Teluk Wetan village is home to 9,573 people, who mostly sustain themselves through farming, trading, and making furniture and handicrafts from rattan (a tough palm tree). Tradition permeates this Indonesian society, which closely sticks to a defined culture and maintains time-honoured practices. SDN Kampus Teluk Wetan, a school located in Teluk Wetan village, was founded to provide the local villagers with an educational facility that offers them better, lasting education. Currently, there are 655 students in SDN Kampus Teluk Wetan. School hours are between 7am to 12 am from Monday to Saturday. Aside from regular classes, the students also take part in after-hour activities such as Boyscouts on Friday afternoon, football and volleyball on Saturday afternoon, and art on Sunday morning.
Through this project, volunteers will make bookshelves for a new library, which is just being made to fulfill the reading needs of the students. The volunteers will also actively engage in educational and after-hour activities with the children. Volunteers will teach 3rd, 4th, 5th grade students simple English and introduce some English kids songs. They will equally be involved in valuable culture exchange and in playing with the kids. Study theme: 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. Leisure time: During the free time, the volunteers may visit Jepara city which is well known for its wooden craft products. They will also be visiting Bandengan beach.
