Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan Does it cost money to volunteer? We have two volunteer programmes, one for Indonesia Volunteers and one for International Volunteers. Please see the individual pages under the 'Get Involved' tab for more information. We ask all our international volunteers who come for a full 8 week cycle to raise £1000 before coming out to join us in Sumatra. Alternatively, some people choose to pay this fee if they can afford to and are not able to fundraise. We know it’s a huge amount of money but this is a very part of our funding which allows us to continue our work. You are supporting a wonderful cause and we appreciate it so much 😊 In addition, you will need to pay for the cost of your volunteer visa, which is £180 and lasts 60 days. That brings the total cost to £1180. For most Indonesian Volunteers we have fully funded spaces available, so please get in touch for more information. What additional expenses should I expect? There are a lot of things included in your package, but there are some things you will need to pay for and factor in to your budget. International volunteers, you will need to pay for your transport to Medan Airport (we will collect your from there) Travel Insurance (for international volunteers this is essential) You will need to buy food in the evenings and at weekend (other meals are included). A meal in a local cafe, Nasi Goreng (the local dish of fried rice) or a vegetable curry, rice and a side for example costs IDR 10,000 (£0.50). There are many guesthouses in Bukit Lawang catering to tourists and meals there typically cost between IDR 25,000 and IDR 50,000 A local sim card and data for a month costs less than £5.00 Money for transport from the Trust into Bukit Lawang Town (less than a 10 minute drive) cost IDR 20,000. You will often be able to get a lift with a team member though and it's also a walkable distance if you prefer that. Can I choose the dates I want to volunteer? Yes you can, we try to be flexible with people's dates. However, if you take a look at one of our volunteer pages, you will see we have fixed dates for our 'Volunteer Cycles'. We'd strongly encourage you to apply for one of these cycles as it will make your experiecne better and makes life easier for us too 😁 But we can be flexible and we'd hate to turn someone down because they couldn't fully committ to the fixed dates, so please still apply! We also offer full flexibility with your bookings. With free cancellation and rescheduling up until we have applied for your visa. At which point you we can fully refund your volunteering fees, but not the cost of your visa. You can also reschedule at any point for free up until we have applied for your visa, after which, depending on when you reschedule for, you may need to pay again for your visa costs. What's the accommodation like? During your placement, you will stay in the Trust building along with the majority of our team. We have two volunteer dorms on site at the Trust, one male and one female and there are 3 beds in each room. The accommodation is simple but adequate and we're like one big family all living together 😊 It creates a super social and welcoming atmosphere for new arrivals. The bedrooms have some storage for your belonging, bedding is provided and there are fans also. Our placements are typically full, so you will likely be sharing your room with two other volunteers. There are four bathrooms at the Trust and a big communal kitchen. Our enormous roof terrace or our balcony are great places to chill or we're in walking distance of some great places to hang out if you need some time away from the Trust. There are some beautiful rivers nearby, cafes and a one bakery (a favourite of the Trust!) Do I need a VISA & what's the application process? Yes you need a volunteer visa. No one is able to volunteer at the Trust, even for a single day without a volunteer visa. Indonesia have very strict laws regarding this. The process for you is super simple though! After you have applied you'll need to send us some basic documentation and we will apply on your behalf, you don't need worry about thing. The Indonesian Volunteer Visa lasts for 60 days. It is possible to extend this visa for up to 180 days. If you wish to stay in Indonesia after you finish your placement, you have this option. Alternatively you could leave the country and re-enter on a new visa. Get in touch if you have any more questions regarding this. Do I need teaching experience to volunteer with the Trust? No, we welcome everyone! No experience is required to volunteer at the Trust, we just need people who have the following characteristics... - A willingness to help - A desire to get stuck in and work hard - People who want to support our team and work within our community - People who care about education - A recognition of education's importance in bringing about social change. What ever programme you are working on, you will be involved in teaching to some extent. So you must want to teach and be happy with the idea of working with kids and adults. We will give you all the support and training you need though and you will always be teaching with the support of our permanent staff. We will encourage you to take an active lead in classes if you want to, but we will not force it upon you or make you do things you are not ready for. Likewise, no specific relevant experience in required for the programme you choose to volunteer on. You just need to be interested in the area it focuses on. How long will it take to get there? Naturally, this depends on where you are coming from, however once you arrive at Medan airport there will be a 4 hour drive that we will arrange for you to get to Bukit Lawang. You'll be picked up along with your fellow volunteers. Do you have WIFI? Yes! we have WIFI at the Trust. There is also WIFI available at many of the guest houses and restaurants around the village, so you won't have any trouble staying connected. We will also give you information on how to get your phone registered at the airport so that you can buy a local sim card and use data. What are the working hours? We all work, volunteers included, from 08:00 - 17:00, Monday to Friday but with some later starts and the very odd late finish. We have standard 2 hour lunch break from 12:00-14:00 but on some days you will need to start at back at 13:00. We do expect you during this time to be ready ana available to work. We do have a very open, communicative and supportive working environment though, so if you are ever feeling run down, in need of a rest or at risk of feeling overworked, you can always speak to us and we will give you the time you need. We know volunteers want to keep busy and get involved with as much as possible, but it's important to look after yourself and not push too hard! Your weekends are free to go out and explore, however we sometimes arrange optional activities like treks, river trips, canyoning, camping. But if you prefer to relax and chill you are welcome 😊 Can I pay the fundraising target myself? Yes you can. We'd always encourage some fundraising, but we completely understand that people won't always have the time or resources to do so. If you need any support or suggestions for fundraising, please get in touch. Is volunteering with the BLT ethical? It's imperative for us that our volunteering experiences are ethical 🌿⚖️ 1. Our volunteers are able to work closely alongside the community we serve, learning from them and experiencing their traditions and customs. Volunteers really have the chance to become integrated in the local way of life. 2. All our work has sustainability at its heart and volunteers will support us in delivering education programmes that are focused on the long term development of our community and the region. 3. We work with local partners, locally founded NGOs, individuals, Eco Tourism companies and education providers to ensure we are as best as possible delivering education that is wanted and supported by our community. We take guidance from our staff, the majority of are from Indonesia, and we lean on their expertise and knowledge to support and guide us in all our endeavours. 4. We will as best as possible match all our volunteers' skills and experience to the most relevant programme that we offer. In addition we will provide as much training and support as necessary, so volunteers feel confident and ready to work on our programmes. 5. Our volunteers add a meaningful contribution to the Trust and our local community and there is no risk of disruption to the community through their presence. To ensure this we run sessions on cultural diversity and sensitivity during the induction week and ensure volunteers understand the impact their presence could have they behaved in the wrong way. 6. We aim to minimize our environmental impact as best as possible. Whilst it's impossible to negate all impact, such as that from international volunteers travelling from other countries, we take every step to reduce where we can. Sustainability and conservation are core goals of the Trust too and we actively promote the protection of the environment, whether this be from teaching about reducing waste and how to recycle in our Youth Ranger classes to spreading knowledge about sustainable and organic farming practices through the Eco Farming programme. For any further questions about ethical volunteering, please get in touch 😁

Konservasi Lingkungan Kami di Bukit Lawang Trust percaya bahwa menjaga lingkungan alam dan melindungi planet Bumi bukan hanya pekerjaan segelintir individu, tetapi tanggung jawab setiap orang. Itulah sebabnya, setiap program yang kami jalankan dibangun berdasarkan 17 tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa. Dengan melakukan ini, kami memastikan bahwa pekerjaan luar biasa yang dilakukan para sukarelawan dalam program kami tidak hanya membuat perubahan positif yang bertahan lama, tetapi juga bekerja untuk pelestarian dan perlindungan lingkungan alam kita. Jadi apa sebenarnya SDG itu? Pada September 2015, PBB membuat 'Agenda 2030' untuk Pembangunan Berkelanjutan yang mencakup 17 Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan atau SDGs. Agenda ini menekankan kerja sama bukan sebagai suatu agama ras atau bangsa, tetapi sebagai satu spesies. Bersatu dalam tujuan bersama kita untuk mencapai pembangunan berkelanjutan untuk semua orang di mana pun. ​ ​ Klik Ikon di bawah untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang setiap tujuan . Terlihat seperti surga? ​ Lihat lagi.. Lebih dari 2,4 juta hektar hutan hujan Indonesia ditebangi dan hilang setiap tahun Jaringan Aksi Hutan Hujan Kebanyakan kerusakan ini hanya untuk menumbuhkan satu tanaman. Minyak kelapa sawit. ​ Kawasan hutan tropis yang luas dan ekosistem lain dengan nilai konservasi tinggi telah dibuka untuk membuka lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit monokultur yang luas. Pembabatan ini telah menghancurkan habitat kritis bagi banyak spesies yang terancam punah — termasuk Badak, Gajah dan Harimau & Orangutan Sumatera . Membakar hutan untuk memberi ruang bagi tanaman juga merupakan sumber utama emisi gas rumah kaca. Metode budidaya yang intensif telah mengakibatkan pencemaran tanah dan erosi serta pencemaran air. ​ ​ WWF Orangutan Sumatera: Dalam 100 tahun terakhir, populasi Orangutan telah berubah dari sekitar 230.000 menjadi hanya 7.500 yang saat ini tinggal di Ekosistem Leuser di Sumatera Utara. Dan dengan penurunan populasi sekitar 1000 setiap tahunnya, Orangutan Sumatera diambang Kepunahan. Sebagian besar disebabkan oleh rusaknya habitat alami mereka. ​ Habitat orangutan di Sumatera Utara hilang dengan kecepatan yang sangat tinggi, terutama karena kebakaran dan konversi hutan menjadi perkebunan kelapa sawit dan pengembangan pertanian lainnya. Spesies ini bergantung pada hutan berkualitas tinggi. Kebakaran hutan yang meluas, banyak yang sengaja dilakukan untuk membuka lahan untuk perkebunan, menjadi bencana biasa. Kebakaran tidak hanya menghancurkan area habitat orangutan yang luas, tetapi ribuan kera yang bergerak lambat ini diperkirakan telah mati terbakar, tidak dapat melarikan diri dari kobaran api. WWF Apa yang dilakukan Trust: Sedikit Menjadi Bukit Apa ini? ​ Moto kami, "Sedikit Menjadi Menjadi Bukit" yang diterjemahkan dalam bahasa Inggris menjadi "Sedikit demi sedikit kami mendaki gunung" . Ini berbicara tentang tantangan yang kita hadapi sebagai spesies dalam menangani perubahan iklim yang disebabkan oleh Manusia, dan kemauan kita untuk maju melalui kesulitan untuk melestarikan rumah kita bersama di Bumi. ​ Kami di Trust percaya bahwa mengatasi perubahan iklim dan melestarikan lingkungan alami kita tidak hanya penting tetapi juga penting untuk kelangsungan hidup spesies kita, dan kelangsungan hidup semua spesies lain yang kita tinggali bersama planet ini. Ini bukanlah pekerjaan beberapa individu yang berdedikasi, tetapi tanggung jawab setiap manusia di bumi. Hanya bersama kita bisa berkembang. ​ Di bawah ini hanyalah beberapa inisiatif konservasi penting yang kami jalankan di Sumatera Utara Indonesia, dan kami baru saja memulainya! Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan: Sejak 2019 kami telah menyelaraskan diri dengan Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, mengadaptasi dan mengembangkan semua program kami untuk bekerja menuju tujuan penting ini. Dengan melakukan itu, kami memastikan bahwa dampak program, relawan, dan staf kami di Indonesia, positif dan bertahan lama. Proyek Pertanian Ekologis: Melalui penyampaian Program Pertanian Ekologis, kami mengajari petani lokal tentang praktik terbaik berkelanjutan, dan bagaimana mereka dapat memiliki pertanian yang sukses tanpa merusak habitat alami. Kami juga mempromosikan penggunaan praktik pertanian alami dan permakultur, serta membantu mendidik masyarakat tentang bahaya penggunaan pestisida dan tanaman kelapa sawit. Penanaman pohon: Kami telah bekerja sama dengan orang-orang luar biasa di Proyek Pertanian Ekologi Erna dan Pembibitan Pohon mereka untuk membantu mempromosikan konservasi regeneratif. Setelah Menanam lebih dari 200 pohon bekerja sama dengan beberapa pemilik lahan, Pembibitan Pohon telah sukses besar. Apalagi! Mulai 2021 kami akan menanam 1 Pohon untuk setiap relawan yang bergabung dengan kami dalam program kami. Pendidikan Konservasi: Selama 13 tahun, kami telah memberikan pendidikan konservasi kepada semua siswa kami dari lebih dari 7 komunitas pedesaan yang berbeda di sepanjang perbatasan Ekosistem Leuser. Ini termasuk pendidikan dalam topik seperti; - Perubahan iklim - Konservasi Habitat & Spesies - Deforestasi & Reboisasi - Daur ulang (termasuk Produksi Bata Ramah Lingkungan) - Polusi & emisi karbon Penjaga Hutan: Pada tahun 2019 kami bekerja sama dengan orang-orang luar biasa di Dokter Hewan Darwin untuk mengembangkan 'Program Penjaga Pemuda'. Program ini mengajarkan siswa kami tentang tugas patroli Penjaga Hutan, konservasi satwa liar, perlindungan lingkungan alam dan kehidupan yang berkelanjutan. Program ini bertujuan untuk menginspirasi siswa kami berempati terhadap alam dan dengan demikian memfasilitasi pelestarian jangka panjangnya. Mengimbangi Emisi Karbon: Kami telah bekerja sama dengan konsorsium mitra lokal kami untuk mengimbangi emisi karbon yang dihasilkan dari penerbangan relawan kami, dengan mendukung inisiatif reboisasi di sepanjang lahan perbatasan Ekosistem Leuser . ​ Tahukah Anda .... rata-rata 1 pohon menghilangkan satu ton CO2 dari atmosfer selama hidupnya.

Cerita kami Kami telah melayani komunitas Bukit Lawang dan banyak komunitas pedesaan di sekitarnya di Sumatera Utara selama lebih dari 17 tahun. Ini cerita kita. Bukit Lawang Trust didirikan sebagai tanggapan atas banjir bandang pada tahun 2003. Banjir tersebut, yang kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh penebangan liar di Hutan, menghancurkan sebagian besar Bukit Lawang dan menewaskan lebih dari 240 orang, menyebabkan sekitar 1.400 orang kehilangan rumah. ​ Pendiri dan Pengawas Rebecca Coley telah mengunjungi desa tersebut beberapa bulan sebelum banjir dan memutuskan untuk mengambil tindakan untuk membantu orang-orang yang dia temui dalam perjalanannya. Rebecca mulai mengumpulkan dana dan kembali bersama keluarganya untuk memberikan bantuan dasar kepada mereka yang terkena dampak. Awalnya, Trust berbentuk klinik medis yang melayani mereka yang menderita akibat bencana tersebut. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Pada tahun 2007, empat belas sukarelawan dari negara asal Rebecca melakukan perjalanan ke Sumatera untuk membangun sebuah bangunan permanen untuk Trust, bersama dengan masyarakat lokal dan dukungan dari Jersey Overseas Aid Commission. ​ Pada tahun 2014, Ruang Baca Richard Cann ditambahkan ke pusat kami yang sudah ada, setelah kematian tragis seorang teman dekat Trust, dan menjadi sukarelawan di Proyek Kesehatan Orangutan setempat. Richard, yang berusia 24 tahun, adalah teman banyak di Trust dan kami sangat berterima kasih atas sumbangan dan dukungan dari Richard Cann Wildlife Foundation selama bertahun-tahun. Ruang Baca Richard Cann terus menghormati kecintaan Richard pada satwa liar, menyediakan pusat penjangkauan konservasi di komunitas lokal. ​ Pada tahun 2020 ruang baca The Richard Cann menjadi perpustakaan konservasi yang akan terbuka untuk siapa saja di komunitas pasca COVID-19. Mengapa memilih Bukit Lawang Trust? Apa yang Membuat Kepercayaan itu Spesial? ​ Selama bertahun-tahun, Trust telah menyentuh hati banyak relawan, pengunjung, dan yang paling penting masyarakat setempat. Masyarakat Bukit Lawang dan daerah sekitarnya adalah jantung dari semua yang kami lakukan. Semua program kami dirancang dengan berkonsultasi dengan masyarakat lokal, untuk kepentingan masyarakat lokal dan memang juga difasilitasi dan disampaikan oleh staf lokal. Karena kami adalah badan amal skala kecil, kami dapat menjamin bahwa semua uang yang disumbangkan ke Trust akan diberikan kepada mereka yang paling membutuhkannya, dan bukan untuk gaji staf internasional, biaya administrasi atau pengeluaran. The Trust, meskipun didanai secara internasional, benar-benar digerakkan secara lokal. ​ 17 tahun dalam pembuatan: Sejak tahun 2003 Bukit Lawang Trust telah mendukung komunitas perbatasan di sepanjang tepi Ekosistem Leuser yang terancam punah. Program kami telah dikembangkan selama bertahun-tahun dan dalam kemitraan dengan berbagai LSM dan penyedia pendidikan untuk memastikan bahwa pendidikan yang Anda berikan pada penempatan Anda tidak ada duanya! ​ Kemitraan & Kolaborasi: Kami bekerja dengan komunitas mitra proyek untuk memberikan program konservasi dan pendidikan berstandar tinggi, lihat semua mitra kami di bagian bawah halaman beranda. ​ Fleksibilitas: Dengan hingga lima 'siklus sukarelawan' setiap tahun, pemesanan kami sepenuhnya fleksibel. Kami juga menawarkan pembatalan dan penjadwalan ulang gratis hingga 30 hari sebelum tanggal mulai penempatan Anda, untuk memberi Anda ketenangan ekstra. ​ Ulasan Luar Biasa: Ulasan sukarelawan kami berbicara sendiri! Cari tahu pendapat relawan kami dengan memeriksa halaman 'Ulasan' di menu atas. ​ Jaringan Alumni: Jaringan alumni baru kami dan aksi yang didukung penuh di proyek rumah memastikan bahwa petualangan Anda tidak berakhir pada akhir penempatan Anda. Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut, kunjungi halaman Alumni kami! ​ Peluang Digital: Karena kami memahami bahwa tidak semua orang punya waktu atau uang untuk bepergian ke Indonesia, kami menawarkan peran digital unik untuk pejuang lingkungan kami yang bersemangat di garis depan! ​ Keluarga Akar Rumput: Kami bangga menjadi keluarga akar rumput, dan itulah mengapa semua staf Internasional kami adalah sukarelawan tanpa bayaran yang berdedikasi berdasarkan pilihan, untuk memungkinkan kami menginvestasikan sebagian besar sumbangan langsung kepada orang-orang yang paling membutuhkannya! Selain itu, semua program kami dirancang, sejak hari pertama, dengan masukan dari komunitas, mereka akan mendapatkan manfaat, untuk memastikan bahwa kebutuhan komunitas lokal selalu menjadi inti dari semua yang kami lakukan. ​ Konservasi Lingkungan: Pelestarian lingkungan adalah inti dari semua yang kami lakukan, dan kami bangga berbagi inisiatif luar biasa yang kami jalankan di Sumatera Utara. Dengan mendukung Pembibitan Pohon & mengimbangi emisi karbon kami dan emisi penerbangan relawan kami, kami secara langsung mendukung regenerasi ekosistem yang terancam punah ini. Di sini, di Trust, kami dengan bangga mendukung etos konservasi regeneratif, dan percaya bahwa keberlanjutan hanyalah permulaan, tujuan kami adalah meregenerasi Bumi dan lingkungan alaminya. ​ Cari tahu lebih lanjut tentang apa yang kami lakukan untuk melindungi lingkungan alam dan melestarikan Ekosistem Leuser yang terancam punah dengan mengklik tombol di bawah ini! ​ ​ ​

Konservasi Lingkungan Kami di Bukit Lawang Trust percaya bahwa menjaga lingkungan alam dan melindungi planet Bumi bukan hanya pekerjaan segelintir individu, tetapi tanggung jawab setiap orang. Itulah sebabnya, setiap program yang kami jalankan dibangun berdasarkan 17 tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa. Dengan melakukan ini, kami memastikan bahwa pekerjaan luar biasa yang dilakukan para sukarelawan dalam program kami tidak hanya membuat perubahan positif yang bertahan lama, tetapi juga bekerja untuk pelestarian dan perlindungan lingkungan alam kita. Jadi apa sebenarnya SDG itu? Pada September 2015, PBB membuat 'Agenda 2030' untuk Pembangunan Berkelanjutan yang mencakup 17 Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan atau SDGs. Agenda ini menekankan kerja sama bukan sebagai suatu agama ras atau bangsa, tetapi sebagai satu spesies. Bersatu dalam tujuan bersama kita untuk mencapai pembangunan berkelanjutan untuk semua orang di mana pun. orang orang Klik Ikon di bawah untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang setiap tujuan .
