It was established in June 15th, 2005 as a response to a lack of education and social welfare all over
Indonesia. Following a prolonged economic crisis and severe governmental budgetary cuts in the field of
education, its founders realized the importance of initiating private and community activities, which
could fill the gap left by the governmental sector, and decided to do so through the establishment of
voluntary service activities, scholarship programs and health care provision.

massive earthquake that struck Yogyakarta and the south region of Central Java in May 2006. In
that occasion and since then, Dejavato has been organizing relief actions such as the envoy of
food supplies, the provision of medical assistance and health counseling and the distribution of
medicines. Nowadays Dejavato cares is one of the permanent program of the Foundation.
Principles of work for the 2013 - 2014 Voluntary service program season:
General matters
-
Dejavato will do its best to respect and follow the standard procedures and principals of work of
the networksit is member of and cooperate with: the CCIVS and NVDA Inter-Regional Exchange
procedures and theAlliance Guidelines. In general the Foundation will do its best to organize
projects taking profit of theexperience of its director, members and supporters. Please help us in
organizing good quality projects bysending us your comments and those of your volunteers.
-
During the project (starting from the arrival of the volunteers) Dejavato will do its best to support
thevolunteers and to facilitate constructive and educational experiences. However, our projects are
organizedaccording to Indonesian standards of living and culture and the volunteers will need to
adapt to simple livingconditions and local food. In our projects, such as in any Indonesian family,
volunteers will eat rice three timesa day, shower with cold water and use local style toilets.
-
We expect the sending organisations to systematically provide the volunteers with our
documentation(workcamp program, infosheet, Dejavato national profile and travel guidance) and
at least introduceInternational Voluntary Service fundamental principles. We recommend holding
pre-departure trainings foryour participants and introducing the basis of Intercultural learning and
cultural diversity, non violentcommunication, problem solving, conflict management, and active
participation to a voluntary serviceproject. The philosophy of voluntarism is the base of our work
here and we expect your volunteer tounderstand, share and participate to it actively.
-
Most of our projects take place in villages or in closed contact with local Muslim communities
andinstitutions. Drinking alcohol is not allowed when in the hosting family, at the project site or
when volunteersare with children/students. Volunteers should be informed by their sending
organization before departureand are requested to read our documents to find out more about the
do’s and do not’s of Indonesian culture.
For the Workcamp projects
-
All the projects presented in this brochure are international projects. We try to reach a maximum
cultural diversity and gender balance in the composition of our groups but you might find more
than 2 volunteers from the same country in the same project.
-
All our projects are open to volunteer who are 18 years old when the workcamp starts. We have no
maximum limit and we encourage the participation of “older” volunteers (out of the 20-30 years
old average) in order to increase the intergenerational dimension of our projects and exchanges.
-
We are very open to host physically challenged volunteers but all our projects might not be
accessible for individuals in wheelchair or facing large mobility difficulties. Please contact us way in
advance in the case one of your members is interested in joining us and we will see together if
her/his stay is compatible with the conditions of the workcamps. For mentally challenged
participants, the continuous presence and assistance of a dedicated professional tutor is required,
with the same conditions, rights and duties as any other participant. The tutor must be selected,
appointed and supervised by the sending organization.
-
The volunteers are expected to attend the whole duration of the project and any delays in the
arrival or departure MUST be officially justified and announced in advance. The incoming officer
and the camp leader will keep the right to cancel the inscription of a volunteer or not accept
her/him on the camp for any unjustified or not announced delay superior to 24 hours after the
arrival day. In most cases, the meeting point for the volunteers is at our office in Semarang (always
check the final info sheet), when this is the case volunteer sleep the first night in Dejavato staff
house or center in the city and travel to the meeting point the day after. Late arrivals may
complicate the arrangement of the travel to the project site. Dejavato likes to organize something
for the volunteers to do as a group during their free time and weekends. This will be discussed
during the orientation and the first days of the project. Depending on the activity, volunteers may
need to cover their own expenses. Please inform your participants that personal plans should be
only foreseen before or after the workcamp.

All the volunteers are required to individually subscribe a private insurance for the whole duration
of the project, covering third party liability, health care and repatriation. A proof of the subscription

Thanks to inform your volunteer in advance

The basic timetable on Dejavato’s camps is about 30-35 hours of work per week, generally from
Monday to Friday, but the necessities of the project can bring the volunteers to work some more

-
The common languages of the workcamps will be English and Indonesian (bahasa). We encourage
volunteers to learn a bit of basic Indonesian before arrival (please refer to our info sheets and info
