Dear friends,
For
all the Budhists, we wish you a Happy three holy days of Vesak 2562
We were grateful to God and to our loyal
friends who supported the children learning community activities throughout May
2018. In both Cakung and Sarang Tupai, Ciawi, the activities ran as usual.
In
the first week of May 2018, we had 2nd quarter review. We managed to
clear the reviews before going for outdoor activity annualy event.
All
Cakung’s children in all categories participated on this 2nd quarter
review.
Prizes were given a week
after review.
Mrs. Lanny, Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Tjandra, Novi, Tiwi, and big
sister Debby taught the children in Sarang
Tupai. Mrs. Mar’ah, Yohana, big
brother Amad, big sister Rifa, big sister Indri, and big sister Debby taught Cakung’s children.
Throughout
the month, the Sarang Tupai’s community were actively making goods out of
recycle coffee packs and knitting. Children also learned to make flowers from
pine cone and cork.
We thank
facilitators, volunteers and surrounding community who relentlessly gave their
time, efforts, finances and place for this learning program.
On
Saturday, 12 May 2018, children visited Jakarta Planetarium and Ragunan Zoo as
part of their outdoor activity.
There
are 90 participants including children, facilitators and parents from Cakung
and Sarang Tupai.
To
indicate, where they came from, the Sarang Tupai’s children were wearing red
shirts and Cakung’s children were wearing white shirts.
For
transportation, we used borrowed busses. We were grateful for this friend of
ours for lending us busses. We often use these busses for outdoor occasions.
The
busses leaved Cakung and Ciawi at 6 am. Children already started to gather
since 5 am.
Both
busses arrived at the Jakarta Planetarium around 7 am.
Big
brother Amad, big brother Bosco and big sister Camilia, our new friend helped
us queuing at the planetarium for 9 am show. It was a long queuing and at the
end we still could not make it for 9 am show.
We
ended it up purchase tickets for the 12-noon show.
We
spent some time wondered around the area. Some mothers went to Khong Guan
cookies shop nearby.
Children
were excitedly gazing at bright stars. They learned new things about the
universe.
Especially,
the majority of them have never been to planetarium before.
Back
in 2008, we visited this place during outdoor activity. At that time, we took
Cakung Sawah’s children to this place.
After
the show, we took pictures in front of the building. To save our traveling time
to the zoo, we went straight to the bus and had lunch inside the bus.
With
facilitators, big sister Rachel and Camilla, the children were very excited
looking at many different types of animals in the zoo.
Before
sunset, we were heading home. Cakung’s and Sarang Tupai’s children arrived a
bit late that evening.
We
were grateful for many supports from our friend, especially for lending us busses.
We
thank the donor for the ongoing attention to the children.
We
also thank the donors for snacks and lunches. We also grateful to the donor
for the financial support. With the money, we bought more food for our
lunches.
We
thank you all for your support.
We
also thank big sister Camilla, big brother Amad, big brother Bosco who gave us
their time to assist the children in this outdoor event.
Together,
we hope for continuous working relationship in serving the children.
At the end of May 2018, on Friday, the 25th of May, we had
visitors who came and met the children in Cakung. They brought
financial donations, writing tablets and stationaries for the children.
Children introduced themselves and enjoyed their pep talks with
the guests. They lit the children’s spirit and advised them
to keep pursuing their life goal.
We thanked the donors for their present and attention
to the children. We hope for continuous relationship.
There were several recipients who need immediate financial
attention. Since the beginning of May, they have already scheduled to take
entry test and they obligated to pay for registration fee at the end of
May.
We also fulfilled other recipients on their school needs such as copies
expenses, school supplies, uniforms, uniform patches, activity fees, routine
school transportation and a few months back school fees for several recipients.
We were proud to assist one of our vocational high school
students on her journey to Young
Inventors Competition in Malaysia on this coming September 2018. We prepared her passport.
We
thank loyal donor who relentlessly providing us with scholarship assistance.
Your support is valuable for these children’s future.
Throughout May 2018, we prepared
various healthy meals for Cakung’s and Sarang Tupai’s children. We prepared
cookies, fried rice noodle, dumpling, coconut milk with brown sugar soup, fruit
cocktail, fried flour corn, fried banana, fried yam and snake fruit.
We thank Mrs. Tjandra for preparing cookies, snake fruit and coconut milk with brown sugar soup for Sarang Tupai’s children
