The criteria are based on the children ability to follow the learning activity and their absency. Some children who came at that time who could not follow the evaluation, were reading science magazines and for the children of the lower category, they were drawing and colouring.

There were 22 children following the learning evaluation. A week after evaluation, the children got a reward to swim together in the nearby swimming pool. Their mothers are allowed to accompany their children. We rented the public transportations and went together. The learning activity on the second Friday of September 2013 was off due to the swimming activity. The children were so happy to have a different reward from the reward of the previous learning evaluation.

On the first and second weeks of September 2013, two facilitators followed the handycraft workshop by Sr. Ignatio, OSU in BSD, Tangerang. We had the recycled handycraft workshop before. To excelarate the skill, we learned it and have some practical knowledge in beads creation.



The sewing workshop for the mothers and the teenagers of Cakung is held on the first and the second week of September 2013. We are so grateful for Mrs. July and her assistant, Mr. Nanang who provide this workshop. We hope this activity could continue.

On the fourth week of September 2013, we opened the Cakung children creation’s corner due to the celebration of the reunion of the alumnae of St. Ursula High School. The children’s creation and production are exhibited and sold. On that day, some alumnae support some materials for the recycled creation. Thank you very much for your attention and appreciation.

Some English learning DVDs are given by Laftavi family for the excelerating of the children ability. We have some beads and the tool, also the book reference from Ms. Linda and Mrs. Widya. We are so thankful for your attention and support. We hope that the cooperation will continue well.

b. The Muara Baru Community



The learning activities on the 1st and the 3rd Sunday of September 2013 are held in Mrs.Herda’s house because the hall is still used for the community and islam religion activity, but on the 5th Sunday of September 2013, we could use it for learning. I’m glad because the children could learn comfortly in the wider space.

We thank all the collaborative works of the facilitators, the volunteers, the children, and the residents of Cakung and Muara Baru, especially to Mrs. Herda at Muara Baru, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Henni, Ms. Qori’ah, Ms. Gaby, Indri, Riska, Yana, and the children coordinator programs.

Bibliotheque



The activity is a little bit dismissed because of the children’s activity in preparing the handycrafts for the Children Learning Community’s corner on the event of high school reunion.

We have some cupboards and a bookshelf from Provincie Limburg dan Samenleven Vzw. We are so glad to have the new ones to store many library books which have been fully kept in other library bookshelves.
Thank you very much for your attention and willingness to realize our needs. We hope the collaboration will continue and become the worth provide for the children future.

Nutrition Improvement Program for Children



On September 2013, the program could run well.
Besides drinking milk, the healthy menus on this month were mungbean porridge, papaya orange juice, and kangkung with rujak sauce.

The healthy menu on the first Saturday of September 2013 was hard-boiled egg, which usually eaten with soyasauce or sprinkle salt. The healthy menu on the second Saturday of September 2013 was mungbean porridge. This long time not served menu is still liked by the children.

On the third Saturday of September 2013, the team prepared the papaya orange juice. The fresh drink in this summer become the children’s favorite one.
On the last Saturday of September 2013, the team prepared kangkung with rujak sauce. We steamed kangkung and prepared the rujak sauce. It become the children’s favorite one, too, especially for them who ever live for years in the farm area.

At the end of September 2013, we have been supported biscuits from Sr. Paulo, OSU, rice and some dishes from Mr. Andy – Mrs. July, also snacks from the alumnae of St. Ursula high school. Thank you very much for your kindness.

We thank the team who organised the healthy menu and cooked it during September 2013 and special thanks to the facilitators who lend a hand during preparation.
