Serving for the national interests and humanity is one of the points contained in UGM’s vision and missions. All this while, UGM has been actively dispatching its academic community to rural areas in order to conduct community services and to expeditions, including the Student Community Service programme as well as expeditions held by UGM nature enthusiasts.

Ahmad Fikri, a second-year student from Environmental Geography, Faculty of Geography UGM, is chosen to be one of five mount climbing volunteers who are selected from all regions in Indonesia. Ahmad who is currently active as nature enthusiast of UGM will climb Mount Mandala (4,760 meters above the sea level) which is located at Bintang Mountainous Regency, Papua. The expedition entitled Climbing to Educate is held by Association of Wilderness and Mountain Climbers (Indonesian acronym: WANADRI), collaborating with Indonesia Mengajar (Indonesia Teaching). Ahmad and other volunteers will conduct the expedition from April 9 until 25, 2018.
