This elementary school, built by the local community in the village of Sabuai in Siwalalat district, Eastern Seram regency, Maluku, has 30 students as of Monday (5/11/2018). After getting tired of waiting for funding from the local government, residents decided to build the school themselves to help their children achieve their dreams.

The remote communities of Seram Island in Maluku are reluctant to lament over their fate. In order to realize the dream of their children, parents worked together to build an emergency school using sago leaves for its roof.

The Sabuai elementary school (SD) building in Sabuai village, Siberalat district, East Seram Regency, can be considered a milestone for the village\'s education. The children used a village hall for almost two years before the construction of the school was completed in September.  That\'s where the children pursue their future.
