Sirom welcomed us very warmly, just like his parents. If you tolerate our "Ratatouille" friends, then there is no problem in the house :) We met locals, explored the area, and took part in typical activities. There was no volunteering work, just cultural exchange. We also talked about a future project. Sirom guided us amazingly well !

My volunteering experience in Batujajar has been truly exceptional and unforgettable. The hospitality, kindness, and genuine care I received made me feel welcomed and valued from the very beginning. Under the guidance of Sirom, I learned not only practical skills but also patience, teamwork, and community care. I gained hands-on experience in painting, house improvement, and other tasks. This place is more than a stay—it feels like a home.

I loved spending time with you Sirom. From the first moment we had such a strong connection. We share the same perspectives, values, and sense of humor, which made every interaction feel so natural and easy. I really enjoyed being able to talk about meaningful topics as well as simple random things. Thank you for our evening conversations and for showing me, that I can also be an artist and draw my painting - and that it is absolutely fine to go beyond the lines. I'm truly grateful for your honesty and for always listening with an open heart. mimpi manis! You're future Gojek driver ;)
