Bandung Newsletter May 2026

A Journey of Freedom, Love, and Hope: Our Easter Celebration | Learning Beyond Borders: Inspiring Lessons from World Forum 2026, Kuala Lumpur | Litte Heroes Celebrate Kartini’s Big Dream

Welcome to the May 2026 edition of our Bandung newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​

This year, our school community came together to celebrate Easter through a meaningful and immersive experience designed especially for young children. Instead of a traditional celebration, we created an interactive storytelling journey that allowed children to explore the story of Easter by walking through thoughtfully prepared spaces within the school. The event invited children not only to listen, but also to see, feel, and reflect on the message of Easter in a gentle and age-appropriate way.

The journey began in the hall, where the first station represented the special meal Jesus shared with His friends. A simple and carefully arranged table with bread and cups created a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Here, children were introduced to the idea of sharing and togetherness, learning that love can be expressed through simple acts of kindness.

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
