On October 2013, the learning activities could run well. The children, the team and I are so grateful for your prayer and support.
Alternative Learning Activities
a. Cakung Children Community
On the first Sunday of October 2013, the cooking workshop has been hold after the sewing workshop which is held twice a month. The schedule is between the time of Muara Baru children’s learning facilitating.
The sewing workshop for this month has been focused on making pattern of monitors, TV, and CPU’s cover, and then cutting and sewing based on the patterns. Six participants followed the sewing activity, instructed by Mr. Nanang. After sewing workshop, we followed the cooking workshop facilitated by Mrs. Danik. There were ten mothers and all of the children of the 3rd category. The participants are divided in two groups. Each groups have task to bring some ingredients and the equipment, some give fund for contributions. The menus for this month are cream cake (for birthday or any occasion) and ice of the tarik (milk tea ice) – cappuccino cincau (jelly from cincau leaves).
The children came to taste the menus. They brought small plate, spoon, and glass. After baking, we decorate the cakes and give them to the children and the mothers, also for the drinks. We are glad to follow these workshops, especially the mothers and the children of the 3rd category. These are the new experience for them to learn baking cake.
Thank you very much to Mrs. Danik as the instructor, also to Mr. Nanang as the sewing instructor. We hope these activities could keep run well.
Now, the life-skill activities are held every Wednesday and twice a month every Sunday. The life-skill activities for this month until the end of 2013 are making creation from recycled materials. On income generating program for teenagers and mothers, we made rosaries, Christmas paper quilling cards, biscuits, and cakes for the Christmas parcels that we will sell.
We will input the picture of the Christmas parcel in our blog.
