SUMATRA SAPO ZUMA ZUMA TREKKING: We Care Program

Dear Travelers,

The We Care Program - Batu Katak and Batu Rongring was previously set up by Boy Sitepu and the team ("Sumatra Sapo Zuma-Zuma Trekking").
The program aimed to redevelop the villages hit by the flood and focused on replanting trees, waste collection of the debris and getting children back into education.

The program is now focusing on our new school, run by a dedicated team of local teachers. Our aim is to teach children in the local community English, key skills and about the environment, with priority given to orphans and the poorer children in the villages.

In order to provide free education the proceeds from our exciting jungle trekking programs and activities in Batu Rongring will go towards the school. We hope you will be able to join us soon!

Best wishes,

Boy Sitepu and the team.

The School Project

The new school has opened on February 2017 and is situated a short 30 minute walk or 1 Hour by local transport from the main tourist area of Bukit Lawang. We currently teach English lessons twice a week, environment lessons and fun practical skills workshops such as building furniture, coconut shell carvings and making small bags from plastic.

The school is part of a not-for-profit organization and relies purely on donations.

Trekking for the school

As we are only able to run this program through donations we hope that you will trek with us to directly benefit the local children. From our jungle treks and activities proceeds will go towards the school. Donations will go towards various educational material, the urgently needed desks and chairs and other school supplies.
