Dear friends,
The Children Learning Community activities run well in September.
We have supported some food stuff packages after Ied celebration, so on the week II of September 2012, we decided to buy trolley to carry it. We need it because of the stony road and it’s hard for car traffic.
On Wednesday, September 19th, 2012, we accompanied the 3 elder people of Cakung who will follow the cataract surgery program at the hospital in Central Jakarta. Although we didn’t support the health development program yet since 2011, we support the 3 people of Cakung because of their eagerness to see their children & grandchildren growing up and work for feeding the big family.
We used some donation from Ms.Paramita Rai and friends to accommodate the health fee for the 3 elder people of Cakung. The surgery will hold after the total of the patient reach 25. The hospital will give free of charge in surgery but we have to pay for the lenses and some medical check up. So, we will give thanks for the willing of the donors’ support and attention.
On Friday, September 21st, 2012, we were visited by Mrs.Gerda Silalahi and her staffs at QBE Pool Insurance. As the social responsibility program of the company for the people, Mrs.Gerda Silalahi and her staffs visit the Learning House of Children Learning Community and support the needs of library and nutrition improvement programs. After introduction each other, the children performed Rampak Gendang dance and singing some songs with recorder. Mrs.Gerda Silalahi and her staffs gave presents for all children. The big presents are including schoolbags, books & stationeries, some stuff for bathing, also milk & biscuit. They provided 2 big sacks of rice and 1 big sack of mungbean. After that, we took some pictures.
We are so grateful for Mrs.Gerda Silalahi & friends’ support and attention. We hope our our collaboration will continue well.
In the mid-September 2012, we found the good location for the permanent learning activities for the children. It is a small house in the 400m2 land near the old location of the learning tent and not so far from the rent house for learning. The amount is 810 million rupiahs which is so expensive for us who still have less savings. We need the permanent place for the learning activities of the children, while at the end of November we have to rent another house because the owner intend to sell it.
We plan to have the permanent place for learning and intent for the long term projection to legalize it as a foundation.
We hope you all understand the situation and would like to support us.
Alternative Learning Activities
Now, the learning activities at Cakung are four days in a week. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we accompany the children at Cakung farm area, while every Friday and Saturday at the Learning House.
The learning activities at Muara Baru is every Sunday.
a. Cakung Children Community
The learning evaluation program on the second quarter held on Saturday, September 1st, 2012. We prepared the material of evaluation in August 2012, before the Ied holiday. The facilitator from each category prepared and explained us the questions of the exam.
We evaluate all, including the diligence and the will of the children in following the activities. After the exam, we give them rewards, such as pencils and coloring books for children in the 0 and 1st category, while for the children in the 3rd category, we gave them pencils and pens.
Since August 2012, the total of the children participants were decreasing, but on the week III of September 2012, we have 6 children participants from the neighborhood. Every week after that, some new participants always come. At the end of September 2012, the total of the children participants are 39. At Cakung farm area, the children participants from 7 increase to 12. Their parents are farmers and farm workers.
We give the same curriculum based on the children’s capability. At Cakung farm area, the learning activities are divided in 2 groups, for children who are able to read-write-counting and are unable.
The facilitation of learning are done by the young facilitators who are projected to accompany children to learn. The young facilitators are the children participants at the Learning House and now learn to teach the younger children. The early activities are cleaning the place, brooming, mopping, clipping the children’s nail and washing hands at each children’s hut.
As the human being who have moral responsibility, in the early stage, children learn to understand their task and the purpose of their life by developing the habit of cooperation, tolerance, serving and caring every God’s creature well.
Now, we need a bigger space for activities. The front room have more table. Now, there are 3 long tables for children in the front room, while in another room for the children of the 1st and 2nd categories and have 1 long table. In library room, we don’t need long table for the children of the 3rd category.
The learning tent was demolished, now it is just an empty land and going to develop the mega project. Some pictures where the learning house become the learning tent and demolished are attached. (cakung0912.3 and cakung0912.4).
Since the early September 2012, the reading program for the children of the 3rd category is every Friday, and some children have to present it every Saturday. Each children should prepare themselves by summarizing their reading and presenting a day after.
This activity helps them to speak and express their mind well. Children should give speech with pictures from the books, when all of the children drink milk before learning. This month, the children read encyclopedia. We hope all children have knowledge by listening and speaking.
The life-skill activity is regularly done every Tuesday, at the same day of the library administrative task. This activity is in different level from the activities every Friday because the products are for the income accelerating program for the children savings. You could see their productions at their blog; http://cakungchildrencreation.blogspot.com.
