My stay in the community couldn't have been better. Through Fitri and her community, I was able to truly connect with the local people and the village, learn about the daily lives of the people here and see how much positive impact a small community can bring to the people. Throughout my whole stay, Fitri took amazing care of me to make sure I was feeling safe and comfortable. It was inspiring to see how humble she is and so open to learning from everyone, and how hopeful she is for the future of her community. Work hours and work types are flexible and respected.

I had the best time at the community with Fitri and her family/friends. I always felt very comfortable and welcomed. What you do as a volunteer really depends on the moment. At this time of year there was not too much community activity going on so I mainly helped in the garden but I still had a great time because I met so many local people and learned a lot about the culture. Fitri also took me to a lot of places and spend time with me and we talked a lot (she's an angel). I absolutely recommend. Ignore the old reviews about bad housing. You now stay in their new, very comfortable hostel.

My first experience with worldpackers was truly unforgettable, thanks to the warm hospitality of Fitri and Anung. Being part of their community projects in the village was not only inspiring but also a great way to immerse myself in the local culture. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to connect with a community and gain a deeper understanding of the local way of life.

The community gave me amazing opportunity to see real Javanis culture. Fitri and Annang welcomed me home as a part of their family. I fully felt there as a part of community. Meeting local friends helped me to understand view and perspectives Jogjakarta's people has. Nevertheless, you need to be aware that living conditions are not Europeans standards. Also while going there you need to be aware of the heat and humidity. If someone is ready to give this place a chance you will contribute to the amazing community growth. All of the people in the city are open and smiling!

Fitri was fantastic! We visited her work and met people from the local community. We later met and spoke to lots of young adults about climate change and women's rights- this was very interesting. However, within the community we felt we were given little experiences, which may have been due to the rain. You can see that Fitri is committed to improving the community and I hope that she is successful. Please note that the living conditions are not to European standards.

Thank you Rowan and Charlotte, you two are very kind, helping and supporting our community activities, but unfortunately during the rainy season several schedules are postponed because of the weather which rains almost every day.

Fitr was so kind, she is an amazing cook, she even taught us how to some Indonesian food. We really enjoyed meeting local people and chatting to them. We especially enjoyed the women coming to eat at the community. However, the facilities are not up to European standards and because of the weather we didn't do as many workshops or garden as much as expected. But we wish Fritri the best and hope the community helps many :)

Beautiful experience in the heart of the Yogyakarta community. Fitri and her family are welcoming and available; from the start they made us feel at home. Fitri is a fantastic host, sweet and welcoming, always ready to meet us. We didn't have a rigid schedule; she was very flexible from the start, and this made me feel very at ease with her. Together we shared stories, laughs, and, above all, food! This experience allowed me to immerse myself completely in the local culture, it was really beautiful!
