Education

YAPPENDA is developing programmes that incorporate the education of the local population and impart the importance and value of avoiding the felling of primary forests, and maintenance of a long term forestry plan. This particular aspect of the project will be supported by staff from A Rocha. Sekolah Lentera Harapan (a James Riady foundation) has agreed to fully fund and manage a school in Holuwon in cooperation with YAPPENDA and YAPPELIN (Yayasan Pelayanan Injili). YAPPENDA will add conservation to the curriculum and involve students with tree planting and care of forest/nursery.
