Preparing for the Mt Semeru Hike



This year, we have planned to extend our assistance to more people in need. In order to achieve this goal, the directors of Yayasan Kechara have personally pledged their time, effort and money to raise fund. Ms Valentina Suhendra and Mr Yudho Rawis, together with Kechara Indonesia committee and volunteers Ms Hau Shio Wei, Mr Soo Woon Loong and Ms Agustiana Hyang, will take up the challenge to climb Mount Sumeru.

In line with Yayasan Kechara's motto “Compassion Knows No Barriers”, our five to-be-hikers who took up this 2013 Hiking Challenge came from various background and belief. All of them voluntarily enrolled in this challenge, bounded by a strong common value of compassion in assisting others.

So here we are, our to-be-hikers have started their training session during the Car Free Day on almost every Sunday! They also travel up to an hour to Sentul to continue building strength, balance, and a strong base. They have also planned for workout sessions, and they will increase the number of repetitions for strength training and increase the intensity of aerobic activity!

Let's check out some of them training in action!



What you didn't know about our hikers for the Kechara Indonesia Fundraising Challenge... During our Sentul Training, we discovered that Hyang is the fittest among all! She has been working out in the gym everyday and lost 5kg in the past 1 month! This is how determined Hyang is in making sure she’s fit enough to climb all the way up the peak of Mt Semeru!Wonder who is Hyang? She's the pretty wearing in black.
