Learning Activity at Learning House in Ramadhan

By Christine J

We are the children at Cakung field area, as usual learning at learning house twice a week. To welcome Ramadhan’s arrival, especially for most of us who are Moslem, the learning schedule change into 1 – 6.30 PM. Although all big children & some small children are fasting, almost all still in good spirit while learning.

We are learning accompanied by Ms.Uwie, Ms.Debby, Ms.Lisa, & Ms.Mona. The big children are Indri, Jessica, me, Mala, Yulia, Ester, Jaka, Kartini, Yuli, & Ana learn to make book review in the fasting month. While small children are learning to write, colour, reading, & drawing. Today, small children are low spirit in learning because the schedule on fasting month is a nap for small children. The facilitators are tirelessly live up children’s spirit through giving choco wafer ‘beng-beng’ after learning. Finally, the children are back in spirit of learning.

After learning, Indri & me are cooking for the preparation of children nutritious meal programme. The menu is greenpeas porridge with banana. We are cooking at Yana’s house. The character of learning activity on Ramadhan is the preparation to open fasting at learning house. We prepare it afternoon so it could be eaten on time.

After cooking at 4.15 PM, me & my sisters, brother should back home first because we have to go to church. Although healthy menu is ready to eat, we still cannot follow the opening fasting together. We just bring it back home. Indri & I am glad & grateful could prepare the opening fasting menu for all of us.
