I had a wonderful stay at Ovick's place and got to know really nice local people! We were welcomed by the family as a part of them, got a (for the local standards) really nice room and a-ma-zing food. Ovick made sure we were really taken care of and showed us around Klaten. the school itself was easy as we had conversations with the students and played games. I think I would have enjoyed getting more responsibility in maybe the school a full class, but this was also a really nice experience. Overall I really enjoyed my stay in Klaten and I would recommend it!

My second time with Ovick ended and it was great again. It was a nice and easy stay, the facilities, the organisation, the mobility and the food were really great. The customer were pretty diverse and the teachings quite easy even if we could have had more responsibility in the school (leading some classes instead of only talking/asking questions). The stay in the family was amazing, we felt like apart of it and they made everything possible to help or to improve the place! Terima Kasih 🙏

I had a great time in Klaten with Ovick's family and at the eFun school. It was truly inspiring to see all the projects in which Ovick is involved in the community and the vision he created for eFun. From kindergarten to high-school, the classes are varied and the interaction with the students is memorable. Every day's schedule is different and there is plenty of free time to explore and plenty of activities to do. Ovick's family made me feel like home, I loved playing with the girls and Oma's food is delicious. Thank you so much for the inspiring conversations and such a memorable experience!

E-Fun's family (Klaten) truly feels like home. The environment is warm, happy, and deeply supportive—surrounded by amazing teachers who care deeply about their students and each other. Mr. Ovick's work is inspiring. He's created more than just a school; it's a community grounded in learning, culture, and compassion. I feel lucky to have witnessed his passion in action. From making batik to learning at Yoso Farm, the educational activities are rich, hands-on, and inspiring. I'm truly grateful for this experience, and E-Fun will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything!

E-Fun is a special school, so fun and welcoming! I had the best time playing with the kids and enjoyed talking to the older students. The teachers are really passionate, always with a smile! Klaten has a deep sense of community. We hiked, made bakpia and batik, and the meal sharing with the homeless was meaningful. Staying with Ovick, Enggar, Oma, Chika, Sophia, Elmeera and the other volunteer, Soraya, has been wonderful. I laughed and learned a lot. Oma's cooking is top! Ovick and Enggar are kind, inspiring people with big hearts and a beautiful vision. Visit E-Fun, you won't regret it 🫶
