Sarah Belajar Group Bukit Lawang Learning, Smiles, and Hope Growing Together
Education as a Bridge to a Better Future in Bukit Lawang
Inside a simple wooden classroom in Bukit Lawang, laughter and excitement fill the air. Colorful paper decorations hang from the ceiling, not as ornaments — but as symbols of creativity, hope, and togetherness.
This is Sarah Belajar Group, a community-based learning space where children and local women gather not only to study, but to grow together.
Here, education feels warm and personal.
Children sit side by side with big smiles, proudly showing peace signs, while teachers guide them patiently with care and encouragement. There are no barriers — only connection.
For many of these children, this classroom represents more than lessons.
It is a safe space where they feel confident, valued, and supported
Education Rooted in the Community
Sarah Belajar Group was created to support local education in Bukit Lawang, with a special focus on English learning. English is not taught as pressure or obligation, but as a bridge — connecting local children to a wider world.
Through fun activities, conversation practice, and interactive learning, students slowly build confidence to speak, express ideas, and dream beyond their village.
Learning here is not about perfection.
It is about courage.
Supported by Responsible Tourism
Sarah Belajar Group is one of the community partners supported by Sumatra Orangutan Trek.
As part of its commitment to responsible tourism in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Orangutan Trek helps channel educational donations to support learning activities, school materials, and community education programs.
This support allows tourism to create real impact — not only protecting the rainforest and orangutans, but also strengthening the people who live beside it.
When Education and Conservation Walk Together
In Bukit Lawang, conservation is not only about forests.
It is also about children — their future, their confidence, and their opportunities.
By supporting education through Sarah Belajar Group, the community takes an important step toward long-term sustainability. Educated children grow into adults who understand the value of nature, responsibility, and balance.
A Small Classroom with a Big Meaning
