📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Blora is a small town located in the eastern part of Central Java Province-Indonesia. It is also the hometown of noble candidate author Pramudya Ananta Toer which one of his worldwide book The Earth of Mankind has been translated in 33 languages. This small town is quite rural since it takes at least 4 hour by bus from Semarang city. This condition results limited access for Bloranese students for having opportunity to meet people from different cultures as part of global education. Some of GREAT volunteers are from this small town. Having strong motivation to open access for rural children to global education in non formal education approach and as IVS activists in Indonesia, they are eager to multiply the impact of international workcamp in their lovely little hometown.
