On Friday, November 29th, 2013, we had some visitors, a team of social program of PT Fastfood Indonesia in the coming of Christmas 2013. Ms. Arry Fitriana with her friends visited the children and played together. The activity ran before the learning activity begin. The children were glad to welcome them. After playing together, we took some pictures and antar them to the field and ask them to come to the children’s house.

Thank you for your visiting and serving the children with joy. May God bless you.

Since the middle of November 2013, we were busy finding the new house for the learning activity. The learning house that we rent was sold by the owner. For two days, we searched and found it.

Laporan Kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar pada November 2013

Salam jumpa teman-teman yang baik,

Pada bulan November 2013 ini, kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar dapat berjalan dengan baik. Kami bersyukur dan terimakasih atas bantuan dan doa teman-teman.

Pada Jumat, 29 November 2013, kami kedatangan tamu, panitia bakti social PT Fastfood Indonesia dalam menyambut hari Natal 2013. Kak Arry Fitriana didampingi teman-teman datang berkenalan dengan anak-anak Cakung dan bermain bersama. Kegiatan berlangsung sebelum dimulainya kegiatan belajar. Anak-anak senang menerima kehadiran mereka. Setelah bermain, anak-anak berfoto bersama dan mengajak kakak-kakak tamu untuk ke kebun, tempat tinggal mereka.

Terimakasih banyak atas kehadiran teman-teman panitia bakti social PT Fastfood Indonesia yang sudah hadir dan melayani anak-anak.

Sejak pertengahan November 2013, kami sibuk mencari tempat baru untuk kegiatan belajar karena rumah belajar yang kami kontrak sudah dijual. Selama dua hari kami mencari tempat dan setelah mencapai kesepakatan dengan pemilik rumah, kami mulai pindahkan barang-barang secara bertahap, dimulai dari buku-buku perpustakaan hingga lemari dan barang-barang besar dan berat lainnya. Pada Jumat, 29 November 2013 setelah selesai belajar, kami mulai angkut barang-barang besar dan berat, dilanjutkan pada Sabtu, 30 November 2013 selesai evaluasi belajar caturwulan III, kami mulai mengangkut barang-barang yang tersisa menggunakan gerobak. Dibantu anak-anak dan orang tua dari anak peserta kegiatan belajar, kami mengangkut barang-barang bersama-sama.

Rumah belajar yang baru agak jauh dari rumah belajar lama, namun kami berharap anak-anak tetap bersedia untuk datang belajar di tempat yang baru. Hari Sabtu, 30 November 2013 adalah hari terakhir kegiatan belajar, yang ditutup dengan evaluasi belajar anak. Sepanjang Desember nanti, kegiatan diarahkan pada pelatihan bagi para remaja Cakung. Kegiatan belajar bagi anak-anak seluruh kategori akan dimulai kembali pada minggu I Januari 2014.

Kegiatan Belajar Alternatif


Komunitas Anak Cakung

Pada minggu I November 2013, kegiatan ketrampilan dilakukan pada siang hari Selasa, 5 November 2013, saat libur. Kegiatan berfokus pada kreasi dari bahan-bahan yang dapat didaur ulang, seperti bungkus kopi, sabun cuci piring atau cuci pakaian. Pelatihan memasak dilakukan pada hari itu juga tanpa didampingi pelatih, yang berhalangan hadir.

Sumbangan bungkus kopi, makanan, sabun cuci, dan pembersih lainnya kami peroleh dari teman-teman kami, Ibu Tina Gayatri dan Sr. Marcelinne, OSU. Terimakasih banyak atas dukungannya. Semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin ini dapat terus berjalan dengan baik. Sampah plastic bisa semakin berkurang dan dapat dimanfaatkan dengan baik.

Kami dengan senang hati menerima sumbangan bahan-bahan daur ulang dari teman-teman yang berkenan untuk mendukung kegiatan ketrampilan yang dilakukan oleh para remaja dan ibu Cakung.

Pelatihan menjahit selama bulan ini, setelah membuat tutup computer, TV, dan CPU, kini membuat tutup atau cover buku. Pelatihan dilakukan pada hari Minggu III dan IV November 2013.
