Mustard Seed Schools include age specific outreach activities. Here is an example. Students studying photography packaged and delivered care packages to a village on the side of Mt. Bromo that was in the process of being destroyed by a thick covering volcanic ash from the eruption. While they were there they snapped these pictures and turned them into a photography exhibition. That exhibition was open to the public increasing awareness and funds for the plight of villages on Mt. Bromo.
