Progress Report of Children Learning Community in October 2015

Dear friends,

The Children Learning Community is very grateful for your support and prayer. Throughout the month of October, all activities ran smoothly.

Every month, in the beginning of that particular month, we announce the perfect attendance students and the active money savers. Each winner will get price which a set of school stationary. The purpose of giving this price is to motivate other students to do the same thing. This month, there are four Cakung’s children and two Sarang Tupai’s children who won the prize.

The activity in Sarang Tupai included the making of wall bulletin which involved all participants. The children were eager to show their work to any visitors on the bulletin wall. The room divider was used for the bulletin wall.

With the help of Ms. Erta Pranoto, we finally were able to purchase folding desks this month. Several folding tables were placed in Cakung’s facility for the third category who occupies smaller learning space. The rest of the folding tables, we place them on the learning terrace of Sarang Tupai’s facility to be used by all the learning participants.

We are in debt to Ms Erta Pranoto for her financial assistance and effort in choosing the quality fold desk at affordable price. We hope that we can continue our relationship further.

We thank all of our friends who relentlessly support us with their time, effort, financial support and place for learning.

Thank you to the facilitators, volunteers, the program coordinators, the community of Cakung especialy Jaka, Mrs. Sutini, Ester, Ondo, big sister Vera, big brother Bosco, Frances, Indri, the community of Sarang Tupai, especially big sister Ivonne, Novi, Cantik, and Pagi.

Thank you to Sr. Marcelline, OSU and the community of Cempaka Street, East Cakung, East Jakarta for routinely collecting the left out coffee packs. With this recycle materials in hand, the Cakung’s young girls and mothers can continue their handicraft project.

Let us all support the movement to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic garbage in our surrounding.

We thank Sr. Paulina, OSU the leader of Pondok Damai orphanage in Kampung Sawah for her donation of writing books, school stationary, children’s drinking cup, dolls, clothing and toiletries.

We hope that we can continue our relationship in the future.

Throughout the month, the library activity was held by the library team. They reregistered the 2012’s collection and prepared 2013’s collection for the children.

During the month, the child’s nutrition improvement activity ran as usual.

In Cakung, the children drink milk together every Saturday. The healthy menu for this month includes fried rice noodle, hardboiled egg, mangoes juice, peanut butter salad, toasted jam.

While drinking milk together, the children watch movie about save our environment which we got them as a bonus of purchasing several boxes of powder milk.

In Sarang Tupai, the activity was filled with eating fruits together. The children consumed various of fruits such as mangoes, oranges, snake fruits. They also consumed cookies and toasted jam which is available in Ciawi’s market.

We emphasize on serving various fruits throughout dry seasons.

The long dry season affected the reserve underground water in Sarang Tupai. Even, some of rivers were dried up. This condition forced us to save water. Children use wet paper tissue to wash their hand before meal and after cutting their nail.

We thank facilitators, the Cakung’s mothers and big sister Ivonne’s family for their effort in preparing this healthy meal to the children.

The October’s scholarship includes paying off the registration installment of a vocational student. We also paid off the school activity installment for a Middle School student. We spent some fund for skirt school uniform, craft’s material, sport’s fee, photocopies, monthly tuition, school transportation and English tutor for all recipients.

The following are pictures of English lesson activity.
