Abu Hurairah Orphanage

There are many issues to be addressed in this orphanage. One issue is environment. Garbage separation and raising awareness on the importance of clean environment were started by the previous volunteers. They also built a burning storage in an environmental way. The new volunteers are expected to continue and develop this activity. Another issue is English. English is an international language considered important for self-confidence and for being active as global citizen.
