My activity in 2011

By Mala

My school teacher gave me a task to manage the cooperation and the canteen. There are two children who manage the cooperation and the canteen. My classmate and I were given a capital of IDR 100,000 to start with. In the beginning it was very hard but thank God my friend and I succeeded to sell the stock we bought. All stocks were sold out. I was very happy that I was able to fulfil the task well. It gave me the knowledge of how to sell well. The first week of February was a holiday where I was in charge of the canteen. My friend and I were selling from 7am to 1:30pm. We managed to do all the tasks from tidying up the place, arranging the food and selling them.

In the Cakung Children Community, alongside learning for category IV, I sometimes accompany the children of category I and II. Category IV lessons include English, Math and Indonesian also skill lessons such as knitting, chocolate making and quilling paper creations.

I was chosen as a coordinator of the Children Health Improvement Programme & Children Nourishment Improvement Programme. My team of the Children Health Improvement Programme consists of Yohanes and Kartini, while the other programme team consisted of Ondo and Anah.

Since February I was appointed to record the participants of the children sex education activity and with my team we formed the committee of this event. The committees are transportation, provisions, equipment and photography.

I am glad to be learning at theCakung Children Community because I get useful knowledge either in organisation skills or teaching skills; I am able to help the mentors accompanying the children of category I and II.

Kegiatanku Pada 2011

Karya Mala

Di sekolah saya mendapat tugas dari guru untuk menjaga koperasi dan kantin. Petugas koperasi dan kantin ada 2 anak. Saya dan teman sebangku saya diberi modal dari bendahara sebesar Rp.100.000,- untuk dikembangkan. Ternyata pertama kali mencoba usaha ini, sungguh sulit sekali, tapi alhamdulilah, saya dan teman berhasil menjual barang dagangan di atas modal yang diberikan. Semua barang laku habis terjual. Saya senang berhasil melaksanakan tugas dengan baik. Dengan demikian saya mendapat ilmu bagaimana caranya berjualan yang baik dan benar. Libur sekolah pada minggu I Februari, saya mendapat tugas untuk menjaga kantin. Saya dan teman mulai berjualan sejak pukul 07.00 – 13.30. Kami mulai kegiatan dari merapihkan tempat, menata makanan jualan kami dan berdagang hingga tutup.

Dalam Komunitas Anak Cakung, selain saya belajar di kategori IV, saya sesekali membantu mendampingi anak kategori I dan II. Pelajaran yang saya peroleh di kategori IV selain Bahasa Inggris, Matematika, dan Bahasa Indonesia, saya juga belajar ketrampilan, seperti merajut, mengolah coklat, kreasi kertas paper quilling.

Saya dipercaya untuk bertanggungjawab sebagai coordinator anak program peningkatan kesehatan anak dan peningkatan gizi anak. Tim saya pada program peningkatan kesehatan anak adalah Yohanes dan Kartini, sedangkan pada program peningkatan gizi anak adalah Ondo dan Anah.

Mulai Februari ini, saya bertugas mendata peserta kegiatan sex education anak dan bersama tim membentuk kepanitiaan untuk kegiatan ini. Kepanitiaan sederhana, yaitu transportasi, konsumsi, perlengkapan, dan dokumentasi.

Saya senang belajar di KAC karena saya mendapat ilmu yang berguna, baik dalam pengorganisasian maupun dalam mengajar, karena saya diperbolehkan juga membantu kakak-kakak untuk mendampingi anak-anak kategori I dan II.

My activity in 2011

By Indri

Since January 2011 I take some activitiesat the school. I have been involved in an activity that relates to my high school major which is accountancy. Along with some friends, we were given a task to take care of the school bank, which opens straight away after school from 12:30pm to 4pm. The school usually has a computer practise programme every Friday. I am taking part in this programme which occurs at the same day as the learning activity in the Cakung Children Community. The computer practise programme starts from 1:15pm to 2:15pm.

This computer practise programme divides into to 2 slots of time. The first one starts at 1:15pm to 2:15pm and the second starts at 2:15pm to 3:15pm. Every week the schedule is random so if I got the first slot I had to ask permission from the mentors of theCakung Children Community.

The other activity is teamwork which usually runs after school involving all the children in my class. Like above, if it happens at the same time as the learning activity in theCakung Children Community, I have to ask permission.

The first week of February was a school holiday because year 3 pupils were having a mock exam. My friends and I were given a task of Double System Education in business/industry to start our apprenticeships. We spent our holiday searching for a company or a factory which will welcome our apprenticeships. I visited 2 companies; one of them was the Soho pharmacy group.

My main activity at the Cakung Children Community venue is learning for category IV;accompanyingcategory III children for notice board and sometime helping the mentors accompanying children of category I and II. I’m also responsible for the venue as to supervise my team members in learning supply area and preparation of the learning activity. Alongside supervisingI am also in charge of counting the stationaries inventory, books and amenities every month. Another role that I have been trusted to is cashier. This is a coincidence with my choice of major in high school, i.e. accountancy. As a cashier I am also responsible for calculating the bazaar material. Every Saturday I submit the financial report to Ms Uwie as the financial coordinator. Every last Saturday of the month, I take part in the financial monthly meeting.

Kegiatanku Pada 2011

Karya Indri

Sejak Januari 2011, saya memiliki kegiatan di sekolah. Saya mengikuti kegiatan sekolah yang berhubungan dengan jurusan SMK yang saya ambil, yaitu akuntansi. Saya bersama beberapa teman mendapat tugas untuk menjaga bank sekolah, yang biasanya dimulai dari siang hari sepulang sekolah, pada pukul 12.30 hingga pukul 16.00. Setiap Jumat, biasanya di sekolah ada kegiatan praktek computer. Saya mengikuti kegiatan ini, yang dimulai bersamaan dengan waktu belajar di Komunitas Anak Cakung, yaitu dari pukul 13.15 hingga pukul 14.15.

Kegiatan praktek computer masih dibagi 2 gelombang. Gelombang I pada pukul 13.15 – 14.15, gelombang II pada pukul 14.15 – 15.15. Setiap minggu jadwal kami diacak, sehingga bila saya mendapat tugas praktek pada gelombang II, saya minta ijin terlebih dahulu pada kakak pendamping.

Kegiatan lain adalah kerja kelompok, yang diselenggarakan biasanya sepulang sekolah bersama teman-teman sekelas. Ini pun bila waktunya bersamaan dengan kegiatan belajar di Komunitas Anak Cakung, saya mesti minta ijin.

Pada minggu I Februari, libur sekolah karena murid kelas III melaksanakan ujian try out, saya dan teman-teman diberi tugas Pendidikan Sistem Ganda (PSG) pada dunia usaha/industry untuk mulai PKL atau praktek kerja. Kami mengisi liburan dengan mencari perusahaan atau industry yang dapat menerima kami untuk PKL. Dua perusahaan yang saya masuki, diantaranya anak perusahaan obat Soho.

Kegiatan utama saya di rumah belajar Komunitas Anak Cakung adalah mengikuti kegiatan belajar untuk anak-anak kategori IV, mendampingi anak-anak kategori III mengerjakan mading dan sesekali membantu kakak-kakak mendampingi anak-anak kategori I dan II, juga sebagai penanggungjawab rumah belajar. Sebagai penanggungjawab rumah belajar, saya mesti mengawasi tim saya yang bertugas di bagian perlengkapan belajar dan persiapan kegiatan belajar. Tugas saya sendiri selain mengawasi juga mendata atau inventaris alat tulis, buku-buku, dan perlengkapan belajar setiap bulan. Selain sebagai penanggungjawab rumah belajar, saya juga dipercaya sebagai kasir. Kebetulan saya memilih untuk sekolah di SMK jurusan akuntansi. Selain sebagai kasir, tugas keuangan saya adalah inventaris barang bazaar. Setiap Sabtu, saya memberi laporan keuangan pada Kak Uwie sebagai coordinator keuangan. Pada Sabtu akhir bulan, saya mengikuti pertemuan keuangan bulanan.

Evaluation of 2010 Programmes

By Anah

On Saturday 18th December 2010, my friends, the mentors and I had an evaluation programme for 2010 activities at JRK base. We left Cakung at 8:30 am. We rode in a minibus no 21 that we had booked a few days before.

The journey was short. After a few minutes we arrived at the destination. We rested for a while drinking hot tea and ate lontong (steamed rice rolls) as a breakfast provided by Ms Uju.

We soon started the evaluation. Ms Rikah arrived a bit later and gave each of us a piece of paper. We were discussing in a small groups. Each group was supervised by a mentor. The mentors were Ms Debby, Ms Uju, Ms Uwie, Ms Qori’ah, Ms Ari and Ms Rikah.

We were busy writing the evaluation results of different activities in the format that had been prepared. Afterwards we gave a presentation in the group till lunch time. We had lunch while still continuing the evaluation. After that, we took a break, playing games prepared by Ms Qori’ah.

Before outlining the 2011 Programme, Ms Debby announced the Mentor organization structure for the 2011 Programme. I was appointed as one of the responsible persons of Child Nutrition Development Programme alongside Mala and Ondo. Then we had to establish the detail of our programme.

We had to continue our tasks in Proklamasi Garden because the person in charge to guard the house/base had a class to attend to. It was getting late and we had not finished yet. After a while we finally got them done so we went home.

We went home using the same rented vehicle. The journey was quite a long one and we were knackered when we arrived home.

Evaluasi Program Kegiatan 2010

Karya Anah

Pada Sabtu, 18 Desember 2010, saya dan teman-teman beserta kakak-kakak pendamping mengadakan evaluasi program kegiatan 2010 di sekretariat JRK. Saya dan teman-teman berangkat dari Cakung sejak pukul 08.30. Kami berangkat naik angkutan umum 21 yang sudah disewa sejak beberapa hari yang lalu.

Perjalanan kesana tidak terlalu lama. Setelah beberapa menit, kami tiba di tempat tujuan. Kami istirahat sejenak sambil minum the hangat dan sarapan lontong yang telah disediakan oleh Kak Uju.

Selesai istirahat, saya dan teman-teman juga kakak-kakak pendamping mulai evaluasi. Kak Rikah datang kemudian dan langsung membagikan kami selembar kertas. Kami mulai diskusi dalam beberapa kelompok. Tiap kelompok didampingi oleh kakak-kakak pendamping. Mereka adalah Kak Debby, Kak Uju, Kak Uwie, Kak Qori’ah, Kak Ari, dan Kak Rikah. Kami mengevaluasi program kegiatan 2010.

Kami sibuk menulis hasil evaluasi program kegiatan kami masing-masing dengan format yang sudah disiapkan. Setelah itu, dalam tim kami mempresentasikannya hingga tiba waktu makan siang. Kami makan sambil melanjutkan evaluasi. Selesai evaluasi, kami istirahat sejenak dengan beberapa permainan yang disiapkan oleh Kak Qori’ah.

Sebelum mulai menyusun program kegiatan 2011, Kak Debby mengumumkan struktur organisasi pengurus program kegiatan 2011. Saya menjadi penanggung jawab program peningkatan gizi anak bersama Mala dan Ondo. Setelah itu, kami mulai menyusun program kegiatan kami masing-masing.

Karena penjaga rumah akan berangkat kuliah, kami terpaksa melanjutkan kegiatan penyusunan program di Taman Proklamasi. Malam pun tiba, kami belum selesai juga. Setelah beberapa lama, kami pun selesai dan beres-beres untuk segera bergegas pulang.

Kami pulang naik mobil sewa yang menjemput kami. Perjalanan panjang dan melelahkan menyertai kami sampai di rumah.

Ragunan Experience

By Harris

On Tuesday 28th December 2010, my family went to Ragunan. We saw lots of animals including monkeys, elephants, bears, hippopotamus, crocodile, Komodos, etc. I really wanted to see a gorilla but the area had been closed, so I fed an elephant instead. Lots of people fed the animals.

I was very happy. While we were walking I saw a joey escaping from its cage. I tried to catch it but every time it slipped out of my hands. After some time I finally caught it and handed it to the officer.

In the afternoon, we got ready to go home. At home, I took a bath, ate dinner and then went to bed.

Pengalaman ke Ragunan

Karya Harris

Pada Selasa, 28 Desember 2010, saya pergi ke Ragunan bersama keluarga. Disana, kami melihat banyak hewan, seperti : monyet, gajah, beruang, kuda nil, buaya, komodo, dan lain-lain. Saya ingin sekali melihat gorila tapi tempatnya sudah tutup, sehingga saya hanya bisa memberi makan gajah. Disana juga banyak orang memberi makan hewan-hewan.

Saya senang sekali. Ketika sedang berjalan-jalan, saya melihat anak kangguru lepas dari kandangnya. Saya berusaha menangkapnya berkali-kali tetapi lepas terus. Akhirnya kangguru itu bisa tertangkap dan saya berikan pada bapak petugas.

Setelah itu saya dan keluarga berkemas utnuk pulang karena hari sudah sore. Sesampai di rumah, saya mandi, makan, dan tidur.

Ancol Experience

By Tia

On Friday night 31st December 2010 my family went for a picnic at Ancol. We arrived at Ancol around 08:00 pm. There were lots of couples on dates in there. After having fun and playing on lots of rides in Dufan, we went for a swim on the beach.

Tired of swimming, we ate instant noodles while watching the ST12 and Ungu concert. We waited for the New Year’s Eve climax. Exactly at 12:00 am, the fireworks began. We really enjoy watching the fireworks display.

Then it was time to go home. We forgot where we parked the motorbike so we had to look around the parking area. Finally we found it and went home straight away.

Upon arrival at home, my younger sister, Kiki, and I lighted our sparklers. Then we went to bed.

Pada Jumat malam, 31 Desember 2010, saya dan keluarga piknik ke Ancol. Kami tiba di Ancol sekitar pukul 8 malam. Disana banyak orang pacaran. Saya bermain-main di Dufan, setelah itu kami berenang di pantai.

Lelah berenang, kami makan popmie sambil menonton konser ST12 dan Ungu. Kami menunggu puncak malam Tahun Baru. Tepat pukul 12 malam, kembang api dipasang. Kami asyik menonton pesta kembang api.

Kami pulang. Di tempat parkir, kami lupa memarkir motor dimana sehingga kami mesti mencari-cari dulu. Akhirnya ketemu dan kami segera pulang.

Tiba di rumah, saya bersama adik saya, Kiki menyalakan kembang api. Setelah itu kami istirahat tidur.
