Various activities on Sunday

By Indri

On Sunday, 18 October 2009, Cakung Children Community organized several activities. There were children nutrition improvement (through drinking milk), study together with Kak Lisa and several other activities such as carpentry. We learned to make a study desk.

First, we gathered at Learning Home to drink milk. We drink milk every Sunday before studying. Then, we studied together with Kak Lisa. We discussed our dreams and what we should do to achieve our dreams. We continued to draw what kind of person we want to be.

After studying together with Kak Lisa, we took a break for awhile. We had a Bazaar during our break. There were so many different kinds of things for sale like clothes, instant noodle, shampoo, soap, etc.

We then continued our activities with craft session with Kak Aung. He has measured the size for making a desk. Material supplier delivered the multiplex and timber which was ordered by Kak Aung.

We started measuring the timber and marked it with pencil before cutting it with saw. The multiplex was divided into 3, we lined it with pencil to make a correct, straight and neat cut. We needed 8 legs for each desk, so there would be 24 legs for 3 desks.

It was late afternoon however, we had not finished making the desks yet. So, we decided to split the group into 2, each group has 6 children, to share the jobs. Each group should cut 2 legs for next week assignment. We then cleaned up the room, collected all timbers and put them outside the Learning Home. We got ready to go home.
