Our Goals |
Project Buku Buku was born out of Sabrina Verleysen's transformative Fulbright experience teaching English at a Madrasah in Demak, Central Java, Indonesia. Sabrina and her older brother, Anthony, established and implemented a transcontinental book drive and literacy initiative called Project Buku Buku, which supplied over 350 English language novels to Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Demak, Sabrina's host institution. These books represent the cornerstone of the first-ever English Lending Library at a Madrasah in Indonesia. Thanks to the IIE Centennial Fellowship, Sabrina and Anthony are able to continue their work in Indonesia.
