Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan Does it cost money to volunteer? We have two volunteer programmes, one for Indonesia Volunteers and one for International Volunteers. Please see the individual pages under the 'Get Involved' tab for more information. We ask all our international volunteers who come for a full 8 week cycle to raise £1000 before coming out to join us in Sumatra. Alternatively, some people choose to pay this fee if they can afford to and are not able to fundraise. We know it’s a huge amount of money but this is a very part of our funding which allows us to continue our work. You are supporting a wonderful cause and we appreciate it so much 😊 In addition, you will need to pay for the cost of your volunteer visa, which is £180 and lasts 60 days. That brings the total cost to £1180. For most Indonesian Volunteers we have fully funded spaces available, so please get in touch for more information. What additional expenses should I expect? There are a lot of things included in your package, but there are some things you will need to pay for and factor in to your budget. International volunteers, you will need to pay for your transport to Medan Airport (we will collect your from there) Travel Insurance (for international volunteers this is essential) You will need to buy food in the evenings and at weekend (other meals are included). A meal in a local cafe, Nasi Goreng (the local dish of fried rice) or a vegetable curry, rice and a side for example costs IDR 10,000 (£0.50). There are many guesthouses in Bukit Lawang catering to tourists and meals there typically cost between IDR 25,000 and IDR 50,000 A local sim card and data for a month costs less than £5.00 Money for transport from the Trust into Bukit Lawang Town (less than a 10 minute drive) cost IDR 20,000. You will often be able to get a lift with a team member though and it's also a walkable distance if you prefer that. Can I choose the dates I want to volunteer? Yes you can, we try to be flexible with people's dates. However, if you take a look at one of our volunteer pages, you will see we have fixed dates for our 'Volunteer Cycles'. We'd strongly encourage you to apply for one of these cycles as it will make your experiecne better and makes life easier for us too 😁 But we can be flexible and we'd hate to turn someone down because they couldn't fully committ to the fixed dates, so please still apply! We also offer full flexibility with your bookings. With free cancellation and rescheduling up until we have applied for your visa. At which point you we can fully refund your volunteering fees, but not the cost of your visa. You can also reschedule at any point for free up until we have applied for your visa, after which, depending on when you reschedule for, you may need to pay again for your visa costs. What's the accommodation like? During your placement, you will stay in the Trust building along with the majority of our team. We have two volunteer dorms on site at the Trust, one male and one female and there are 3 beds in each room. The accommodation is simple but adequate and we're like one big family all living together 😊 It creates a super social and welcoming atmosphere for new arrivals. The bedrooms have some storage for your belonging, bedding is provided and there are fans also. Our placements are typically full, so you will likely be sharing your room with two other volunteers. There are four bathrooms at the Trust and a big communal kitchen. Our enormous roof terrace or our balcony are great places to chill or we're in walking distance of some great places to hang out if you need some time away from the Trust. There are some beautiful rivers nearby, cafes and a one bakery (a favourite of the Trust!) Do I need a VISA & what's the application process? Yes you need a volunteer visa. No one is able to volunteer at the Trust, even for a single day without a volunteer visa. Indonesia have very strict laws regarding this. The process for you is super simple though! After you have applied you'll need to send us some basic documentation and we will apply on your behalf, you don't need worry about thing. The Indonesian Volunteer Visa lasts for 60 days. It is possible to extend this visa for up to 180 days. If you wish to stay in Indonesia after you finish your placement, you have this option. Alternatively you could leave the country and re-enter on a new visa. Get in touch if you have any more questions regarding this. Do I need teaching experience to volunteer with the Trust? No, we welcome everyone! No experience is required to volunteer at the Trust, we just need people who have the following characteristics... - A willingness to help - A desire to get stuck in and work hard - People who want to support our team and work within our community - People who care about education - A recognition of education's importance in bringing about social change. What ever programme you are working on, you will be involved in teaching to some extent. So you must want to teach and be happy with the idea of working with kids and adults. We will give you all the support and training you need though and you will always be teaching with the support of our permanent staff. We will encourage you to take an active lead in classes if you want to, but we will not force it upon you or make you do things you are not ready for. Likewise, no specific relevant experience in required for the programme you choose to volunteer on. You just need to be interested in the area it focuses on. How long will it take to get there? Naturally, this depends on where you are coming from, however once you arrive at Medan airport there will be a 4 hour drive that we will arrange for you to get to Bukit Lawang. You'll be picked up along with your fellow volunteers. Do you have WIFI? Yes! we have WIFI at the Trust. There is also WIFI available at many of the guest houses and restaurants around the village, so you won't have any trouble staying connected. We will also give you information on how to get your phone registered at the airport so that you can buy a local sim card and use data. What are the working hours? We all work, volunteers included, from 08:00 - 17:00, Monday to Friday but with some later starts and the very odd late finish. We have standard 2 hour lunch break from 12:00-14:00 but on some days you will need to start at back at 13:00. We do expect you during this time to be ready ana available to work. We do have a very open, communicative and supportive working environment though, so if you are ever feeling run down, in need of a rest or at risk of feeling overworked, you can always speak to us and we will give you the time you need. We know volunteers want to keep busy and get involved with as much as possible, but it's important to look after yourself and not push too hard! Your weekends are free to go out and explore, however we sometimes arrange optional activities like treks, river trips, canyoning, camping. But if you prefer to relax and chill you are welcome 😊 Can I pay the fundraising target myself? Yes you can. We'd always encourage some fundraising, but we completely understand that people won't always have the time or resources to do so. If you need any support or suggestions for fundraising, please get in touch. Is volunteering with the BLT ethical? It's imperative for us that our volunteering experiences are ethical 🌿⚖️ 1. Our volunteers are able to work closely alongside the community we serve, learning from them and experiencing their traditions and customs. Volunteers really have the chance to become integrated in the local way of life. 2. All our work has sustainability at its heart and volunteers will support us in delivering education programmes that are focused on the long term development of our community and the region. 3. We work with local partners, locally founded NGOs, individuals, Eco Tourism companies and education providers to ensure we are as best as possible delivering education that is wanted and supported by our community. We take guidance from our staff, the majority of are from Indonesia, and we lean on their expertise and knowledge to support and guide us in all our endeavours. 4. We will as best as possible match all our volunteers' skills and experience to the most relevant programme that we offer. In addition we will provide as much training and support as necessary, so volunteers feel confident and ready to work on our programmes. 5. Our volunteers add a meaningful contribution to the Trust and our local community and there is no risk of disruption to the community through their presence. To ensure this we run sessions on cultural diversity and sensitivity during the induction week and ensure volunteers understand the impact their presence could have they behaved in the wrong way. 6. We aim to minimize our environmental impact as best as possible. Whilst it's impossible to negate all impact, such as that from international volunteers travelling from other countries, we take every step to reduce where we can. Sustainability and conservation are core goals of the Trust too and we actively promote the protection of the environment, whether this be from teaching about reducing waste and how to recycle in our Youth Ranger classes to spreading knowledge about sustainable and organic farming practices through the Eco Farming programme. For any further questions about ethical volunteering, please get in touch 😁

Aku bisa pergi tentang Jungle Treks, Pernikahan, sepeda motor, dan cuaca panas! tapi sakit biarkan Anda mencari tahu sendiri. The Trust telah mengajari saya bahwa hidup benar-benar adalah satu petualangan besar! Emma Johann Relawan ESL Sejujurnya saya bisa mengatakan itu adalah waktu terbaik dalam hidup saya! Timnya luar biasa dan saya segera merasa menjadi bagian dari keluarga kecil Trust kami sendiri. Tetap pada kepercayaan berarti Anda benar-benar melakukan sesuatu, yang tidak biasa dilakukan oleh sukarelawan di bidang pengajaran. Untuk itu saya sangat berterima kasih! Saya telah belajar banyak tentang mengajar dan bekerja dengan anak-anak dan saya sangat berterima kasih kepada semua orang yang membuat saya merasa sangat dibutuhkan dan dicintai di sini! ​ Terima Kasih Banyak! Venitia Acou Fasilitator Mata Pencaharian Pemuda Pengalaman ini luar biasa dan sangat kaya! ​ Saya tidak sabar untuk datang lagi !!! Nuria Golter Relawan ESL 5 bintang dari 5! The Bukit Lawang Trust adalah tempat yang indah untuk anak-anak Bukit Lawang dan sekitarnya. Mereka tidak hanya belajar tentang Bahasa Inggris, tetapi tentang dunia. Saya bisa melihat wajah mereka dan motivasi mereka, bagaimana mereka selalu sangat bahagia dan bersyukur pergi ke sana. Ini adalah tempat yang aman bagi mereka dan seringkali menjadi satu-satunya kemungkinan untuk berhubungan dengan orang-orang dari luar Indonesia. Para sukarelawan selalu berusaha keras untuk melakukan yang terbaik untuk anak-anak! Saya pikir sekolah ini adalah tempat yang sangat penting dan saya berharap itu bisa tetap hidup! Kamilla Stumpe Fasilitator Mata Pencaharian Pemuda Sebuah pengalaman untuk membawa Anda lebih jauh! ​ Saya masih tahu persis betapa senangnya saya sebelum penempatan saya di Trust dan pada akhirnya semuanya menjadi sangat indah dan santai. Selama penempatan saya di Program Penjaga Pemuda dan Program Perusahaan Berkelanjutan, saya dapat mempelajari berbagai pengetahuan. Saya belajar banyak keterampilan mengajar baru, bertemu orang-orang cantik, mengenal budaya dan bahasa Indonesia dan dengan semua ini saya pelajari seumur hidup. Hidup dan bekerja di Trust adalah saat yang memperkaya bagi saya dan saya senang melihat betapa ramah dan mendukung semua orang di Trust dan di Bukit Lawang. Saya sangat berterima kasih atas pengalaman ini dan akan merekomendasikan semua orang yang mencari petualangan indah dan tertarik dengan pendidikan lingkungan. Anda akan menemukan diri Anda disambut dengan tangan terbuka. Terimah kasih semuanya dan sampai jumpa saat aku melihatmu! ​ Vanessa Relawan ESL Pengalaman ini telah mengajari saya banyak hal dan mengubah seluruh hidup saya! ​ Saya benar-benar dapat merekomendasikan pengalaman sekali seumur hidup ini kepada semua orang. Saya bekerja di Trust selama 3 minggu dan sebagian besar waktu saya mengajar anak-anak Taman Kanak-kanak. Saya Pedagog sosial sekarang, tetapi bahkan jika Anda tidak memiliki pengalaman dengan anak-anak, saya berjanji Anda akan menyukainya. Anak-anak ini sangat luar biasa - mereka sangat ingin tahu dan suka sekolah. Selalu menyenangkan melihat anak-anak sangat bahagia selama pelajaran. Itu juga merupakan pengalaman yang cukup bagus untuk melihat bagaimana Anda dapat mengajarkan sesuatu dengan cara yang berbeda (tanpa mencetak, pergi ke copyshop ..). ​ Orang-orang di Trust dan di Bukit Lawang sangat ramah dan menghangatkan hati. Mereka akan selalu berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk membuat masa menginap Anda senyaman mungkin. Seperti yang saya katakan, saya telah belajar banyak, terutama bahwa Anda tidak membutuhkan kemewahan sebanyak yang kami miliki di Austria. Orang-orang di sana sangat bahagia. ​ Kami memiliki kesempatan untuk pergi trekking di hutan dan Anda harus melakukannya! Tidur di hutan, menikmati makanan dan duduk di samping orangutan - pengalaman terbaik dalam hidup saya !! Kami juga telah mengunjungi gajah, sangat menarik melihat mereka di kehidupan nyata! ​ Tony D'Amico Conservation Program Manager - 2018 Being able to volunteer with the Bukit Lawang Trust was the experience of a lifetime! ​ There are lots of options on what to do and no matter the person I am sure an unforgettable experience awaits! I volunteered from January to June 2018 and had several tasks ranging from managing volunteers to teaching Conservation Education and building relationships with like-minded individuals and organizations in the area. ​ For me, the time spent with people in the community and fellow volunteers ARE the experience. I wanted to volunteer and support a wonderful organization like the Bukit Lawang Trust, but the people you meet along the way will be the best part of your experience. The food is incredible and the river is fantastic but those relationships last far longer than your trip will. ​ Janine Oworu Relawan ESL & Pendidikan PM Waktu di Bukit Lawang Trust akan selalu menjadi salah satu bagian terpenting dalam hidup saya! Saya terlibat di sekolah dari tahun 2016 hingga 2018. Saya memutuskan untuk tinggal di desa Bukit Lawang ketika saya jatuh cinta dengan suami lokal saya. Itulah yang terjadi pada banyak orang ... jatuh cinta dengan budaya dan penduduk setempat :) Saya selalu punya ide untuk membantu komunitas lokal dan anak-anak entah bagaimana caranya dan untuk beberapa pekerjaan sosial dan sukarela. Jadi Pusat Pendidikan adalah tempat yang tepat! Berada di sana begitu lama, memberi saya banyak pengalaman berbeda (kebanyakan budaya) dan peluang untuk terlibat dengan proyek yang berbeda. Itulah yang selalu sangat saya sukai ... berbagai macam orang dan budaya yang berbeda yang Anda kenal, keragaman pekerjaan dan proyek yang menunggu di sana (pendidikan, memasak, bincang-bincang, olahraga, seni, konservasi, pengelolaan sampah, keberlanjutan), makanan dan alam lokal, banyaknya peluang dan kemungkinan, potensi untuk mencapai tujuan yang bermakna dan bertahan lama, keragaman emosi yang muncul juga. Beberapa hari akan menantang, tetapi Anda belajar banyak tentang diri Anda dan orang lain ... saya tidak ingin melewatkan waktu itu! Menghabiskan setiap pagi bersama anak-anak selalu menjadi sorotan saya, sangat menyenangkan dan menyenangkan! Anak-anak adalah detak jantung dari sekolah Trust, dan bersama dengan anggota staf yang ramah dan komunitas orang tua, semua orang segera merasa seperti menjadi bagian dari sebuah keluarga. Saya dapat berjanji bahwa meninggalkan tempat ini sulit, sedih dan emosional ... tidak dapat mengingat satu sukarelawan yang tidak menangis :) Yang juga saya sukai adalah ada pintu dan tempat yang terbuka untuk semua orang; Saya telah bertemu dengan begitu banyak sukarelawan yang berbeda dan luar biasa, mereka semua memiliki keterampilan yang luar biasa, mereka semua dipuja oleh anak-anak dan menjadi teman dekat dengan penduduk setempat. kita semua berbagi misi yang sama. Saya sangat merekomendasikan kepada semua orang untuk menempatkan diri Anda dalam pengalaman dan petualangan ini ... ini adalah pengalaman hidup yang akan mempertaruhkan cara berpikir dan hidup Anda. Menghabiskan waktu di negara berkembang membuka hati dan mata Anda terhadap hal-hal yang belum Anda sadari! Saya masih menindaklanjuti apa yang dilakukan Trust secara teratur, dan luar biasa melihat apa yang telah dicapai tim selama beberapa tahun terakhir! Anda perlu memeriksa beranda mereka dan mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang kerja dan kampanye Trust (untuk anak-anak, untuk orang tua, untuk hewan, untuk pemimpin muda, untuk bisnis mandiri baru, untuk memberdayakan wanita, dan banyak lagi kategori penting lainnya). ​ Dan semua orang masih bisa terlibat dari jauh jika Anda mau dan Anda melewatkan semuanya :) Got a Question?
