Almost all the fee are from the children saving which is organized by Tia and Mayang as the coordinators of children saving activity. We supported some children who have not enough saving and unable to pay for. The parents allowed to follow this activity, especially for the children from the 0, 1, & 2 categories. Every parents have to pay same fee as their children.

The bus parked at the nearby gas station, because the bigger transportation couldn’t pass through the long narrow street to the learning house. The consumption supported by our friend, Ms. Arry Fitriana from KFC. We took the lunch boxes in the morning before we leaving. After call roll, each group conducted by a coordinator, which is a facilitator is leaving to take the bus. We were leaving at 9 AM.

The children were so enthusiastic to follow the activity. For one and half hour before we came back to the bus, we entered to the hall, watching the movie about ancient animals and follow the nitrogen experiment. Some children went forward, participating in the experiment.
Before leaving, we held a quiz about the knowledge that we have there. The facilitators as the head of the group make some questions. The children who could answer the question correctly will get a present, such as pencils, colouring books, and notebooks.
We were going back to the nearby gas station about 5 PM. Although the children and their parents were tired after following the outdoor activity from morning til evening, the small knowledge & experience provisions were able to fill one stage of their life and their cheerfull childhood.

Children Scholarship
From the end of June 2013 until the middle of July 2013 is the school holiday for the new school year. Firman has promoted to the second grade of primary school and also his friends in the learning house. Some children registered to school at their hometown, some registered in the elementary public school at their house nearby, while Indri just finished the second semester examination and has holiday for a week before the examination. After that, more school holiday until Moslem Hari Raya Celebration.
In the middle of July 2013, the new school year began, Firman and his friends ready to enter the new class. We need to purchase notebooks, stationeries, and student books, while a student need to copy and print learning materials also the accomodation to campus and to follow the TOEFL test in the early July 2013.
One of our computers has software problems and need to repair and insist the student to do their school task at the internet rental.
Two droppedout children begin to involve in the learning activities since they participate in life-skill activity. They are Asih (17 years old) and Amel (13 years old). Now they join the children in the 3rd category. We have plan as their wish to register them in sewing course while Amel wants to take computer or cooking course. There are some droppedout boys, but it still difficult to ask them to learn at the learning house because some of them prefer to choose having money for living through garbage collecting or become a temporary field worker.
We are still trying to open their vision and knowledge until they themselves could think forward to have knowledge and skill savings for their future.
Thank you so much to our friends who would like to support the program regularly. We hope the collaboration will continue well and become the worth provide for the children’s future.
