Dear friends,
Happy Eid Mobarrak 1434 H to our friends who celebrate it

b. The Muara Baru Community
The learning activities are held on the 1st and the 3rd Sunday on August 2013.
The learning activities were doing in Mrs. Herda’s house because the hall has been prepared for moslem activity during fasting month.
On the 1st Sunday of August, 2013, the children decreased because not all children have back from their homeland, and more children followed the learning activity on the 3rd Sunday of August, 2013.
The gas price increased few months ago and it become a trigger of the increasing of the price of groceries and transportation. We adjust the situation by increasing some of the facilitators travel and subsistance for every children learning facilitating activity. We hope it keeps the learning activities continue well.
We thank all the collaborative works between 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, Indri, Riska, Asih, and the children coordinator program.
