Testimonials

Japance Gayamopa
Students of Kemala Somatua Reading Park
"Studying at the Kemala Somatua Reading Park, managed by the Somatua Foundation, has helped me a lot, especially in my learning process at school. I find it easier to understand school lessons and have learned many other things about cleanliness, health, neatness, and discipline through my studies here. I am grateful to the Somatua Foundation, especially the teachers at the reading park, who have taught me and my friends so much."

Sisilia Pontholondo
Teachers of Kemala Somatua Reading Park
"The experience of serving by teaching the children at Kemala Somatua Reading Park for over two years has been one of the most incredible things for me personally. At first, I was hesitant to take on the task, but the trust given to me by the Somatua Foundation gave me the confidence to embrace it. Facing children of different ages and personalities was a challenge that I was able to overcome throughout these two years. I am proud to be part of a small but meaningful change in these children's lives—helping them learn to read, write, count, and pray."

Megiyanti Matande
Volunteer at Kemala Somatua Reading Park
"Becoming a volunteer in the field of education is one of the most rewarding experiences. I have a dream of serving Papua. The unequal access to education in Papua has only fueled my enthusiasm to dedicate myself selflessly to this cause. In May 2019, I began my journey as a volunteer at the Somatua Foundation. I was warmly welcomed by the children and teachers. It is truly fulfilling to share knowledge with the mothers and children at the Somatua Foundation."
