On Saturday, October 10, 2026, ETA Hazel Vineet visited Rumah Baca Tanah Ombak alongside SMAN 3 student teachers, Ms. Nofi, Ms. Caca, and Ms. Revi. Tanah Ombak is a community library and safe space for low-income children in Padang, founded by community activist Pak Syuhendri.

At Tanah Ombak, Hazel and the student teachers met with the local children to play English games with them and hand out snacks! Most of the children were ages ranging from 4 to 11. The children really enjoyed the games, which involved guessing animals based on sounds, identifying colors, and naming numbers in English. They were (predictably) very excited about the snacks as well. Hazel then read a story book to children, in Indonesian and English. Hazel loves children and thus really enjoyed her visit to Tanah Ombak. She is very grateful that Ms. Nofi was able to connect them with this organization and hopes that they can return soon!

Hazel Vineet is currently teaching at SMAN 3 Padang.
