Over the past 10 years, global law firm Linklaters (represented by Widyawan & Partners in Indonesia) has supported Yayasan Usaha Mulia (YUM) in bringing transformations to the community in Bukit Batu, Central Kalimantan.

When volunteers come into our lives, they bring not just their skills but their hearts and passion. One such extraordinary volunteer is Phil, lovingly known as “Pak Phil”.

In the wake of the 5.6 magnitude earthquake that shook West Java, Indonesia, on November 21, 2022, our team on the ground swiftly mobilized to aid the affected communities.

Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a group of dedicated lecturers and students from Bina Nusantara (BINUS) University, who ventured into the communities in Cipanas (West Java) for, not one, but TWO days of activities!

As we look into the future, we want to give the children of Bukit Batu, Central Kalimantan, a head start by creating a new activity in our community library: entrepreneurship for kids.
