Progress Report of Children Learning Community in November 2014


Dear friends,

In November 2014, the alternative education of Children Learning Community ran well. The children, the team, and I are so grateful for your prayer and support.

​On the 1st week of November 2014, to be exact on Wednesday, November 5th, the Children Learning Community welcomed the 5th semester students and the teacher of Fashion Design Binus International university. They visited us to follow the workshop of recycling creations.

For few hours, we exchange the knowledge and skill together. The students and the teacher explained us how to make the simple pattern for making bag and other creations.

The mothers and the teenagers of Cakung taught step by step how to make a recycling bag from coffee sachets. Begin with sorting, cleaning, and ready to make by folding and weaving to be a hand bag.

The students were very enthusiastic to learn. They learned in some small groups with a teenager of Cakung as their mentor.

After learning, they saw the creation and many of them bought the creations. It’s so helpful, especially for the teenagers and the mother’s saving. We hope it could rise their spirit to be more productive and have some savings for their family need.

We thank so much for the visiting of the students and the teachers, especially to Mrs. Julita Oetojo and Mrs. Indira and other teachers of Fashion Design Binus International University. May our collaboration will continue well.

A day after, on November 6th, 2014, some youth of Magis group, Ms. Melita and Ms. Carla as the committee of live-in program, visited us in the learning house. They met us and explained about their planning to do live-in program in Cakung for the member of Magis. We went to some houses of Cakung residents and introduced them to know the real life in Cakung.

On Thursday morning, November 13th until Saturday afternoon, November 15th, 2014, we welcomed two members of Magis, Ms. Christine and Ms. Anggi. Each of them learned to work and knew the reality of the family in Cakung from morning til afternoon and took a rest in the learning house.

On Saturday afternoon, November 15th, 2014, they followed the learning activity with the children before they back to the group.
Thank you very much for Magis member’s visiting. Hopefully the real experience could give the meaning and enrich their spirituality. Thank you very much for the support and trust of Magis and may our collaboration will continue well.

In early til mid November 2014, we moved all things and renovated some parts of the previous learning house. On Saturday, November 8th, 2014, we moved to another house gradually. Three men of Cakung residents and some facilitators together moved all big furnitures. The activity continued on Sunday, November 9th, 2014 until next week. We put in order the small stuffs into the shelves, while some people were cleaning and renovating the previous house.

On Friday, November 21st, 2014, the children began to learn in the new learning house. It’s just two houses from the previous house. The new house is smaller but we can feel the nuance of arrangement. This second story house is more efficient so we can arrange the learning activities better. The children of the group of 0 category learn in the front room and there is a small computer room behind while the other children learn in the second story.

On Monday, November 24th, 2014, a friend who is a volunteer of health division in Africa, Dr. Frans Senff visited us in the learning house. He met some facilitators, a lady and her grandson who live in and take care the learning house. In 2012, about two years ago, he visited us in Cakung.

We are so thankful for his attention and support. Hopefully, his visit encourage us to do this service better and may our collaboration will continue well.

Alternative Learning Activities

There are 5 children from the nearby environment involved in the activities this month. A child is in the group of category 0, 2 children are in the group of category 1, and the others are in the group of category 2.

The decreasing of numbers of teenagers even increasing the numbers of early aged children and pre-teen. On this year, more early aged children and young mothers involved. The mothers learn skill activities and gather in the income generating program.

Few weeks before the end of November 2014, Sr. Agustina, BKK whose called Ms. Tina, a friend who helped us in doing pioneering works in Cakung, has started again to support us in children learning every Friday.

We are so glad and thankful for her attention and support.

The joy and the innocent of the children who irreplaceable in times lead us through the sweet memories of the children freedom when they learned in the field area to the fullest stage of the real life today.

In the end of November 2014, to be exact on Saturday, November 29th, 2014, we closed the learning activity by holding the 3rd quarterly learning evaluation. More children followed it and some couldn’t.

The evaluation ran well and all the Friday and Saturday facilitators came. We share the task, giving evaluation and accompanying the others learning.

Laporan Kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar pada November 2014


Salam jumpa teman-teman,

Sepanjang November 2014 ini, kegiatan belajar Komunitas Anak Belajar dapat berjalan dengan baik.
Kami bersyukur dan berterimakasih atas bantuan dan doa teman-teman.

Pada Minggu I November 2014, tepatnya pada Rabu siang, 5 November 2014, Komunitas Anak Belajar menerima kunjungan mahasiswa Fashion Design Binus International semester V bersama para dosennya.

Selama beberapa jam kami bertukar pengetahuan, dengan pola-pola sederhana yang bisa kami terapkan untuk menghasilkan kreasi jahitan dari sisa-sisa kain perca maupun pakaian bekas.

​Para ibu dan remaja serta anak-anak mengajarkan pada para mahasiswa, tahap membuat tas dari bungkus kopi, mulai dari pengumpulan, pencucian sampai siap digunakan dan dilipat, dijalin menjadi tas tangan.

Para mahasiswa antusias belajar dan dibagi dalam kelompok-kelompok kecil.

Usai belajar, mereka melihat-lihat hasil karya para Ibu dan remaja Cakung yang bergabung dalam kegiatan Usaha Mandiri. Banyak karya yang dibeli mereka. Hal ini sangat membantu kami, khususnya warga Cakung untuk tetap semangat berproduksi dan memiliki penghasilan lebih untuk mencukupi kebutuhan keluarga.

Terimakasih atas kunjungan belajar para mahasiswa dan Ibu Julita Oetojo, Ibu Indira dan para dosen Fashion Design Binus International. Semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin dengan baik ini dapat terus berlanjut.

Esok harinya, Kamis, 6 November 2014, beberapa anak muda dari kelompok Magis, Kak Melita dan Kak Carla sebagai panitia kegiatan live-in, berkunjung ke rumah belajar Cakung, menemui kami untuk menjelaskan rencana kegiatan beberapa anggota Magis di Cakung. Kami berbincang-bincang dan mengajak mereka berkunjung ke rumah warga agar dapat sungguh mengenal realitas disana.

Pada Kamis pagi, 13 November hingga Sabtu sore, 15 November 2014, kami menerima kehadiran dua orang anggota Magis, Kak Christine dan Kak Anggi. Masing-masing dari mereka belajar beraktifitas dan merasakan realitas kehidupan keluarga Cakung dari pagi hingga sore hari dan beristirahat di rumah belajar.

Pada Sabtu siang, 15 November 2014, sebelum waktu pulang, mereka ikut membantu kegiatan belajar anak-anak hingga sore hari.
Terimakasih atas kehadiran Kakak-kakak dari kelompok Magis. Semoga pengalaman nyata ini bisa memberi makna dan memperkaya spiritualitas Kakak-kakak. Terimakasih atas dukungan dan kepercayaan dari kelompok Magis. Semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin dengan baik ini dapat terus berlanjut.

Selama awal hingga pertengahan November 2014, kami mengemas barang-barang dan memperbaiki rumah lama yang bagian-bagiannya perlu mendapat perawatan. Pada Sabtu, 8 November 2014, kami memulai pindah rumah secara bertahap. Seluruh perabot besar kami pindahkan dibantu oleh tiga warga Cakung dan para fasilitator. Kegiatan berlanjut pada Minggu, 9 November 2014 hingga minggu depan, saat membereskan seluruh barang-barang untuk ditempatkan dalam lemari-lemari, sedangkan rumah belajar lama, kami bersihkan dan perbaiki.

​Sejak Jumat, 21 November 2014, anak-anak mulai belajar di rumah belajar baru, yang hanya selisih dua rumah dari rumah belajar lama. Walau rumah belajar baru lebih kecil dari rumah belajar sebelumnya, suasana keteraturan dapat langsung kami rasakan. Rumah bertingkat dan ruangan yang cukup efisien memungkinkan kami mengatur kegiatan belajar dengan lebih baik.

Anak-anak kategori 0 belajar di ruang depan sementara anak-anak kategori lainnya belajar di ruang atas.

Pada Senin, 24 November 2014, seorang sahabat kami, relawan kesehatan di Afrika, Dr. Frans Senff yang dua tahun lalu pernah berkunjung ke Cakung, datang bersama kami dan bertemu, berbincang-bincang dengan beberapa fasilitator, Nenek dan cucu yang menetap di rumah belajar.

Kami amat sangat berterimakasih atas perhatian dan dukungan Dr. Frans Senff. Kiranya kehadirannya memberi semangat baru dalam karya pelayanan ini dan semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin dengan baik ini dapat terus berlanjut.

Kegiatan Belajar Alternatif


Komunitas Anak Cakung


Sepanjang November 2014 ini, kegiatan belajar alternatif dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Ada 5 anak baru dari lingkungan sekitar yang mulai terlibat pada bulan ini. Seorang anak masuk dalam kelompok kategori 0, dua anak masuk dalam kelompok kategori 1, dan dua lainnya masuk dalam kelompok kategori 2.

Sejak beberapa bulan ini, anak-anak kelompok kategori 3, usia 12 tahun ke atas mulai berkurang hingga tidak ada yang bisa hadir. Berkurangnya jumlah anak usia remaja justru meningkatkan jumlah anak-anak balita dan pra remaja. Dalam lingkungan baru yang kami tempati selama setahun ini, lebih banyak anak-anak kecil yang terlibat dan menarik para ibu muda untuk belajar ketrampilan dan terlibat dalam kegiatan Usaha Mandiri.

Sejak beberapa minggu sebelum berakhirnya bulan November 2014, kami didukung dalam kegiatan belajar setiap Jumat oleh Sr. Agustina, BKK yang kami panggil sebagai Kak Tina, seorang sahabat lama, yang membantu kami pada awal merintis kegiatan belajar di Cakung.

Kami sangat senang dan berterimakasih atas perhatian dan dukungan Kak Tina.

Keceriaan dan kepolosan anak-anak yang tak tergantikan sepanjang masa menuntun kami melalui kenangan manis kemerdekaan anak-anak belajar di wilayah perkebunan dulu hingga tahap penghayatan realitas saat ini.

Pada akhir November 2014, tepatnya Sabtu, 29 November 2014, menutup hari terakhir kegiatan belajar, anak-anak mengikuti evaluasi belajar kurikulum caturwulan III. Cukup banyak anak hadir walaupun beberapa dari mereka belum bisa mengikuti evaluasi.

Kegiatan evaluasi belajar dapat berlangsung dengan baik, dihadiri oleh seluruh fasilitator yang bertugas pada hari Jumat dan Sabtu. Kami berbagi tugas, menemani anak-anak peserta evaluasi dan anak-anak yang datang belajar.

Terimakasih atas kehadiran anak-anak peserta evaluasi belajar dan seluruh fasilitator Semoga semangat akhir tahun membawa kemajuan yang lebih baik lagi dalam menyongsong tahun baru.

Kegiatan Usaha Mandiri sepanjang bulan ini dilakukan bersamaan dengan beres-beres rumah belajar. Saat ini kegiatan berfokus pada kreasi dari bungkus kopi yang didaur ulang, kreasi kartu ucapan dari paper quilling, kreasi manik-manik, dan pembuatan biscuit menjelang hari Natal dan Tahun Baru.

Kami sangat berterimakasih pada komunitas biara St. Maria, Juanda atas perhatian dan dukungannya, yang dengan setia mengumpulkan bahan-bahan bungkus kopi serta para Ibu, warga Cakung yang mendukung kegiatan ketrampilan daur ulang ini. Semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin dengan baik ini dapat terus berlanjut.

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. Mari bersama kita dukung gerakan pengurangan, penggunaan kembali, dan daur ulang sampah plastik di sekitar kita.

Komunitas Muara Baru

Selama bulan ini, kegiatan belajar dilakukan pada hari Minggu I dan V.

Kegiatan belajar kami bagi dalam tiga kelompok, yaitu bagi anak-anak yang masih mengenal abjad dan baru menulis kata dan huruf masuk dalam kelompok I (usia 5 – 7 tahun) yang dibimbing oleh Kak Debby, sedangkan anak-anak yang sudah bisa membaca, tulis, dan berhitung, (usia 7 – 10 tahun) didampingi oleh Tino bergantian dengan Kak Thesa, yang biasanya kami beri tugas untuk menulis perbendaharaan kata berdasarkan abjad dan berhitung. Sedangkan kelompok terakhir, yang berusia 11 hingga 13 tahun didampingi oleh Kak Indri.

Kami senang dengan antusiasme anak-anak dan dukungan orang tua warga Muara Baru.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas kerjasama para fasilitator, volunteer, anak-anak, warga Cakung dan Muara Baru, terutama pada Mohandri, Indri, Kak Uju, Ester, Tino, Kak Thesa, Kak Tina, dan anak-anak pengurus program, serta Bu Herda di Muara Baru.

Perpustakaan

Kegiatan administrasi perpustakaan sepanjang bulan ini diisi dengan pengaturan buku-buku perpustakaan ke dalam lemari perpustakaan yang dipindahkan dari rumah belajar lama ke rumah belajar baru.

Kegiatan penataan buku dilakukan selama beberapa hari oleh tim perpustakaan dibantu oleh seluruh pengurus program dan fasilitator.

Kini buku-buku perpustakaan sudah berada dalam lemari yang disusun berderet di ruang belajar anak kategori 0. Buku-buku disusun tidak hanya berdasarkan klasifikasinya tapi juga disimpan dalam tiap-tiap lemari yang dibagi per tahun.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas ketekunan tim program perpustakaan, yang telah menyelesaikan tugasnya.

Kegiatan Peningkatan Gizi Anak

Selama November 2014 ini, kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak berlangsung dengan baik.
Selain minum susu rutin, menu sehat bulan ini adalah telur rebus, semangka, bubur sumsum, dan salad buah.

Pada Jumat I November 2014, tim program peningkatan gizi anak menyiapkan semangka untuk anak-anak selesai belajar. Kegiatan cuci tangan wajib dilakukan sebelum makan. Anak-anak menyanyi bersama saat pembagian menu sehat.

Pada Sabtu II November 2014, tim program peningkatan gizi anak menyiapkan telur rebus bersama kecap dan garam merica. Seperti biasa setiap Sabtu, selesai minum susu, kegiatan belajar dimulai, dan diakhiri dengan makan menu sehat.

Pada Jumat III November 2014, anak-anak menikmati bubur sumsum dengan kuah gula merah selesai belajar, sedangkan pada Sabtu IV November 2014, selesai evaluasi belajar, sambil mendengarkan penjelasan hasil evaluasi dan penilaian para fasilitator, anak-anak menikmati salad buah. Ada nenas, semangka, melon, mangga, dan apel dengan perasan lemon ditambah vla sebagai pengganti mayonnaise menambah semangat anak untuk menyantap menu bervitamin tinggi ini.

Kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak ditutup dengan kegiatan koperasi untuk para Ibu.

Kami berterimakasih pada tim pengurus program, para Ibu, dan para fasilitator yang telah membantu mempersiapkan menu sehat dengan baik selama bulan ini.

Beasiswa

Selama November 2014 ini, pengeluaran dana digunakan untuk melengkapi kebutuhan sekolah anak, seperti fotokopi, perawatan komputer, biaya renang, iuran kas kelas, pembelian baju karate dan emblem dari seorang anak yang membutuhkan bantuan, biaya tugas kelompok, dan biaya transport sekolah anak.

Untuk mengikuti ujian akhir semester, setiap penerima beasiswa wajib melunasi biaya sekolah dari November hingga Desember 2014. Untuk itu, seluruh penerima beasiswa yang bersekolah di sekolah swasta harus melunasinya, termasuk biaya ujian akhir semester yang dikenakan pada seorang pelajar STM.

Para penerima beasiswa mengikuti pelajaran bahasa Inggris setiap Senin yang dimulai pada pukul 6 sore di rumah belajar sepanjang bulan ini. Kegiatan ini selain menambah kemampuan anak berbahasa Inggris, juga menjadi tanggung jawab peserta untuk mengajarkan bahasa Inggris pada adik-adiknya, terutama anak-anak kategori II dan III.

In October 2014, the program activities ran well.
Besides drinking milk every Saturday, the healthy menus were hardboiled eggs, mangoes, mungbean porridge, liver and tofu semur (soyasauce soup), and bread with chocolate jam.

On the first Saturday of October 2014, the team prepared hardboiled eggs, which the children usually eaten with soyasauce or sprinkle salt.

On the second Friday of October 2014, the team prepared mangoes which cut in blocks and every child have a plate of mango blocks. Although the mangoes are sweet, not all the children could eat up. Some children prefer to keep in their lunch box to eat at home.

On the third Saturday of October 2014, the children enjoy the mungbean porridge with the slices of banana. Not all children like it, they just like to sip the porridge. Some children just like to eat the slices of banana. We poured it in the bowl sufficiently so not much wasted. Some children who couldn’t eat up the porridge gave it to their Mom.

Before eat the healthy menu, the children especially the new children participants learned to wash their hands, taught by others who are longer involved in the learning activities. After stand in line washing hands, they dried their hands with the clean towel.

The need of computer is high so we decided to purchase the secondhand computer and laptop for two students at their home. It could make them easier to do their assignments independently while the sheets and printer could use only in the learning house.

Since the end of October 2014, to be exact on Monday, October 27th, 2014, the children who receive scholarship begin to do the new program.
