This experience was incredible. Wima and all his family open the door and their hurt to us. All people is very nice. I did different activities everyday, never get bored. The place is amazing, surrounded by nature a perfect place to be in peace, relax and be in contact with nature. For sure I recommend this experience. Thank you Wima, Alfi, Lidia and all the staff for always be so kind and helpful. See you soon.

Hola, Griselda Mercedes!

You are one of the highlights we have this year. Thank you for being a great ambassador in promoting De Karanganjar and Blitar.

Thank you for 'messing up' the Javanese-Dutch theme here and turning it into a Latino theme. Sometimes dancing to Latin music is also fun!

I will miss our discussions that started with cultural, historical, and political topics, and became more philosophical as we went along. Hahaha...

If you have found the meaning of life, please share it with me, will ya ;)

I hope we can meet again in front of the majestic Tenochtitlan, chatting while enjoying tacos and accompanied by a cute tecolote.

I've spent three weeks here and it was amazing! The work was not difficult, mainly housekeeping, maintaining the grounds and the seedlings of coffee, serving customers at the coffee shop and teaching English. I was lucky to be here during several events and interact with a lot of locals. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and made me feel so welcome, both in day-to-day life and on some evenings when we went out to the city together and discussed life in different countries and tried local foods. I learned so much about Indonesian culture and obviously about the coffee. Amazing!

Hello Scientist!

You and the gang made those weeks so enjoyable!

Thank you for being good conversation companions, being great ambassadors for De Karanganjar and Blitar, and of course, being a cool science teacher for my child. I will definitely miss our meaningful conversations.

Thank you for the cool Lithuanian name, and hopefully, we can meet again in your seemingly beautiful country.

P.S.: No afraid of ghosts anymore, remember you're a scientist!

Regards,

By far one of the best volunteering experiences I had, what a host! Wima just don't receive you at the farm with a bed to sleep, is a TRUE cultural experience, welcoming with your anthem played on the piano, trying amazing local foods, city tour experience and great talks about art and culture! The accomodation is great and comfortble. The work is easy and chill. Almost everyone in the farm speaks good english, so you'll get the opportunity to really connect and learn about Indonesia history, art and traditions. Note&Check, before come: lots of cockroaches here and food is limited in the fridg

Isabelle! The not-so-Brazilian because you don't like football, hahaha!

Your camera is magic; finally, we can have some great photos. Thank you for helping us at the DeKa Voice singing competition with your photos, and you were patient enough to name each and every one of them. I'm sure thanks to your photos, the student participants won't easily forget the event.

See you again, hopefully in Brazil. Oh, one more thing, don't book the tickets too close together, just once in Blitar is enough, hahaha.

I really enjoyed my time on the host plantation! There were a lot of events during my stay so it was really nice to see the local culture and how involved everyone is in the community! It was great to have Alfi there to help the volunteers, and Wima and his family were so kind and generous!! The work was nice and easy, a lot of the time we'd work for 2 hours then have a break for a few hours before working again. Sadly I wasn't lucky enjoy to see the roasting process but some others went to the factory at the right time and got to watch, definitely check often if you want to watch!!!

Hi Brianna!

Thank you so much for helping improve the English language skills of the employees, as well as correcting English writings on the website and other things.

I've watched the Independence Day ceremony videos and fun games with the kids multiple times, and I always laugh whenever I see you helplessly being tackled by the kids with a big grin on your face!

Oh, and thank you for the delicious pumpkin soup as well. It was my first time trying something like that.

See you on another occasion. Hopefully in Canada!

I didn't feel like leaving at the end and would have extended if I could. The rooms accommodate everything: free laundry, wifi, privacy, space and your own bathroom. If you need anything they will try to provide it asap. I got to learn about coffee brewing, processing and farming. Once every day I could make my own coffee and practice latte art, thanks to everyone at the café for the help! :D I also experienced 5 events in 2 weeks, very lucky. Thanks to Wima, Alfie, Abry, Sintia, Dio, Fino, Dea, Aga and everyone for an incredible experience and warm memories. I hope to be back at some point.

Hello Mhdawi Sisters!

I just wanted to say that we are delighted to have you here. You're so lovely, hardworking, and polite... even too polite, hahaha!

Thank you for the delicious German dishes: nudelsalat and the like. And congratulations on experiencing three major events at once: Independence Day celebration, Heirloom Cleansing Ritual, and the unforgettable Mount Kelud Expedition.

May all of it become beautiful memories, so that you will want to come back here.

See you again, Hanin and Isabel!

I was so happy and comfortable at the host. It is a very peaceful, friendly place surrounded by beautiful nature. There wasn't a lot of work to do since I arrived after the coffee harvest season, so sometimes the work schedule wasn't very organised. But as soon as you get used to the laid back, calm lifestyle here you have the best time. It was so much fun to work at the cafe with the staff who do their best even tho their English isn't fluent. Wima and his family created a beautiful home here for all volunteers and staff. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so amazing!<3

We had the best time at deKaranganjar. We learned a lot about every step of processing coffee. We had the opportunity to take part at many cultural festivals which was very exciting! The plantation itself is a very beautiful place surrounded by nature. But we also enjoyed all the trips around Blitar to get to know the culture and the food :) The people at the plantation are so nice and warmhearted and we are very greatful that we can call them our friends now! At the end it felt like home and we did not want to leave. Special thanks to Alfi and Wima! Hope to see you soon! Moritz and Laura :)

I had the best time at the plantation. We only stayed two weeks and I kind of wish we could have stayed longer. Everyone was really nice and made us feel welcomed. The work was generally easy and we learned a lot about the whole process of producing coffee. We did some cherry picking, grinding and packing coffee, housekeeping, trash picking, and a few lesson with Aga. On our off days, we did the special tours which weren't free but were really worth it. Thank you for everything !

aloo .. Gabrielle & Gaelle the Gauls!

I was so happy for having you here. You helped us a lot during the busy days and created some nice videos. Especially the Asterix & Obelix videos, so touching for me that someone finally understood that. Yeah, I'm an Asterix's person haha ..

If you comeback to Indonesia, please come again. The Plantation is always welcoming you.

And I hope we can meet again in France, and have fun in Asterix's Park 😊

We spent two weeks at the plantation and it was really great! The people are all really nice, and the environment in which we live is very pleasant. Each person (or duo) has private accommodation with beds, shower and toilet. We learned a lot about coffee. We helped sort the good coffee beans from the bad ones, grind the beans and package the coffee for sale in the shops. The different tasks we had to do each day weren't very complicated.
