Different from the capital city of Denpasar, Jembaran is peaceful and quite place. There are a lot of rice fields stretches along the regency. Moreover, the local community is very open and warm to the visitors. We recently held our workcamp project in Senior High School in Mendoyo Sub-district. This year, Dejavato initiates to hold workcamp project in the level of elementary school. We will cooperate with the local school, SD Pohsanten 1. This school provides basic compulsory education on the elementary level. There are about 200 students educated in this school. Those students are divided into 6 levels. The students are on the age from 6 – 12 years old. They are educated with basic studies for math, languages, social, science, art and music. School hour starts from 7 am – 12 pm, Monday to Saturday. After the school hour, the students are recommended to involve in several extracurricular such as sport, art, scout, computer and traditional dance.
