Project Description: Partner with LHM Indonesia in working alongside locals to help construct a multi purpose building in Adipala Cilacap, Central Java. In 2013, LHM Indonesia began reaching out to children in this area by organizing a school ECD Cipta Smart. The aim is to reach children from all walks of life, especially the Islamic religion and be a means of evangelism to the tribe of Banyumasan. The school has provided an open door for LHM outreach programs. The new multi purpose construction will be used for teaching students, serve as a library, Sunday school teacher training, training facility for kindergarten teachers, and a location for LHM to carry out their programs for sharing the message of Christ with the Banyumasan tribe in this area. The team will also provide training for teaching Sunday school lessons. Project Location: Indonesia is an independent republic that is made up of 17,500 islands, also known as an archipelago. The islands are spread over 3,400 miles along the equator. The driest season occurs from May to September with temperatures averaging 82 F all year. The area where the project will take place is in a Regency of Cilacap, Banyumas, Central Java Province located approximately 240 miles southwest of Jakarta along the Indian Ocean. The team will arrive into Jakarta and travel to Adipala Cilacap by train.

Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, or hiking. Also, recommended for travelers with significant occupational risks (such as veterinarians), for long term travelers and expatriates living in areas with a significant risk of exposure, and for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats, carnivores, and other mammals. Children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals, may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites.
