Progress Report of Children Learning Community in November 2015

Dear friends,

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

In the beginning of the month, as usual, we announce the perfect attendance students and the active money savers. The winner will get a set of school stationary. The purpose of giving this price is to motivate other students to do the same thing. This month, a Cakung’s children won the price for money saving. And for attendance, there are four Cakung’s children and five Sarang Tupai’s children who won the price. The Sarang Tupai’s children have not yet developed their enthusiasm to save. We still looked for ways to develop their saving habit.

The activity ran well. The number of participants in category zero and one increased. The active participants grew from 40 to 50 children now. With 50 children participated in this learning activity, the house felt smaller.

The Sarang Tupai’s children prefer to learn about crafting out of recycle coffee packs. The children can turn recycle coffee packs into water bottle holder and tote bags for books.

Just as we entered the month of November, we came to a rainy season. With rain, the green scenery started to emerge. The community is happy because they have water now. But they still have to wait for the ground water to be cleared in a few weeks ahead.

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, Ms. Sutini, Ester, big sister Vera, Bosco, Frances, and the community of Sarang Tupai, especially big sister Ivonne, Novi, Cantik and Pagi.

We thank the Juanda’s Ursulin Sisterhood, big sister Lucy 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.

Throughout the month, the child’s nutrition improvement activity ran well.

Because of a long dry season, the children used wet napkin to clean their hands. Now, they are able to clean their hands with water. We did the nail cutting activity and cleaned the children’s hand with water in the fourth week of November. And the community gradually can enjoy clean ground water in the third and fourth week of November.

With clean ground water available, the children can enjoy the soupy beef ball noodle, instead of regular fruit and crackers. The Sarang Tupai’s children enjoyed beef ball noodle in the fourth week of November.

We received donation of powder milk in the third week of November from the Sisterhood Community of “Karya Kesehatan” through Sr. Agustina BKK. We thank you for your attention and kindness. We hope to continue this relationship further. The Cakung and Sarang Tupai children enjoyed their milk and crackers.

Every Saturday, in Cakung, besides drinking milk, the children also enjoy watermelon, soybean cake, fried cassava, toasted bread with jam and crackers.

We thank our facilitators, the Cakung’s mothers and the family of big sister Ivonne who help in serving the children with healthy food.

The November’s scholarship expenditure includes purchasing of text books for the Elementary and Middle School students. Other expenses are lesson’s material photocopies, purchasing of craft materials, last payment of school tuition installment and December’s school fee. This tuition and school’s fee need to be paid before their December’s midterm. The expenses also include school transport allowance and English’s tutor fee for Cakung’s recipients.

We thank all our friends who continuously support this scholarship program. Your support bring tremendous blessing to these children. The education that they receive now is their provision for their future. We thank you for your faithful commitment to this program.

Laporan Kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar pada November 2015

Salam jumpa teman-teman,

Syukur dan terimakasih atas bantuan dan doa teman-teman sehingga kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar dapat berjalan dengan baik sepanjang bulan November 2015.

Setiap awal bulan biasanya diumumkan peserta kegiatan belajar yang rajin hadir dan rajin menabung selama sebulan lalu. Hadiah alat tulis kami berikan untuk memberi semangat anak dalam belajar. Pada bulan ini, ada satu anak Cakung yang rajin menabung dan empat anak Cakung yang rajin hadir, sedangkan di Sarang Tupai ada lima anak. Semangat menabung anak-anak Sarang Tupai masih belum terbangun dengan baik dan kami masih harus mencari cara yang tepat untuk mendorong anak agar rajin menabung.

Kegiatan belajar di Cakung berjalan dengan baik dan semakin banyak anak baru untuk kelompok kategori 0 dan 1 terlibat dalam kegiatan belajar. Jumlah anak aktif belajar yang beberapa bulan lalu mencapai 40 anak, kini mencapai 50 anak. Rumah belajar menjadi terasa sempit.

Anak-anak Sarang Tupai lebih memilih untuk belajar ketrampilan kreasi bungkus kopi yang mereka buat menjadi tas untuk tempat minum dan untuk tempat buku. Memasuki November, musim hujan mulai terasa disana. Hujan turun dan tanaman mulai menghijau. Warga gembira tidak kekurangan air lagi walau air tanah masih keruh.

Terimakasih banyak pada teman-teman yang berkenan memberikan waktu, tenaga, material, dan tempat untuk mendukung terlaksananya kegiatan belajar Komunitas Anak Belajar.

Terimakasih banyak pada kakak-kakak fasilitator, volunteer, tim program, warga Cakung dan Sarang Tupai, terutama pada Jaka, Bu Sutini, Ester, Kak Vera, Kak Bosco, Kak Frances, di Cakung dan Kak Ivonne, Novi, Cantik, dan Pagi di Sarang Tupai, Megamendung, Ciawi.

Terimakasih atas pengumpulan bungkus kopi yang rutin dilakukan oleh Komunitas Suster Ursulin Juanda, Kak Lucy, dan warga jalan Cempaka, Cakung Timur, Jakarta Timur untuk mendukung kegiatan ketrampilan berbahan dasar barang-barang daur ulang yang dilakukan oleh para remaja dan ibu Cakung.

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

Kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak berlangsung dengan baik sepanjang bulan ini.

Setelah memasuki musim hujan, akhirnya pada minggu IV November 2015, setelah menggunting kuku, anak-anak Sarang Tupai bisa mencuci tangan dengan air bersih, tidak lagi menggunakan tisu basah. Memasuki minggu III – IV November 2015, air tanah sudah jernih dan bisa digunakan warga.

Kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak yang selama ini makan buah dan biskuit, sejak minggu IV November 2015, anak-anak Sarang Tupai sudah bisa melakukan kegiatan memasak bersama. Menunya mie bakso.

Sumbangan susu bubuk kami terima pada minggu III November 2015 dari Komunitas Suster Karya Kesehatan melalui Sr. Agustina, BKK. Terimakasih banyak atas kebaikan dan perhatian para Suster pada kami. Semoga kerjasama yang telah dijalin dengan baik ini dapat terus berlanjut.

Anak-anak minum susu dan makan biskuit baik di Cakung maupun di Sarang Tupai.

Di Cakung, selain kegiatan minum susu bersama setiap Sabtu, anak-anak juga menikmati menu sehat lain, seperti semangka, stik tempe dan singkong goreng, roti selai, dan biskuit.

Terimakasih kami pada para fasilitator, para Ibu warga Cakung dan keluarga Kak Ivonne yang membantu menghidangkan menu sehat bagi anak-anak.

Pengeluaran dana bagi anak-anak penerima beasiswa sepanjang November 2015 ini adalah pembelian buku pelajaran baik bagi murid SD dan SMP, fotokopi bahan pelajaran, pembelian bahan ketrampilan, pelunasan SPP bulanan dan SPP bulan Desember mengingat awal Desember 2015, murid-murid memasuki masa ujian akhir semester. Pengeluaran dana juga termasuk transport sekolah dan jasa guru Bahasa Inggris yang difokuskan untuk mengajar anak-anak penerima beasiswa di Cakung.
