Dear friends,
We are grateful for many blessings
in 2018. With new hope and spirit we walk into 2019.
We were also grateful to God and to our
loyal friends who supported children learning community activities in Cakung
and Sarang Tupai, Ciawi all these years.
We held a cooperative meeting on the first week of January 2019.
All cooperative members attended this meeting.
On this first meeting at 2019, we reported the cooperative
activity, profit and distribution of dividend. We also discussed regulation that
needs to be renewed.
The cooperative added a new member. Some of existing member
invested more into cooperative.
Children learning community was also grateful for this
cooperative. The dividend from the investment helped some operational expenses
of learning community.
Children learning community received 2.414.600 IDR for its
investment this year.
We are grateful for trust and tenacity of members to develop this
cooperative effort.
We thank donors for their financial support for children learning
community to invest in cooperative.
Throughout January 2019, Cakung’s and Ciawi’s area experienced
daily downpour. Some children were not able to come but some children were
wiling enough to attend learning session.
Learning session in Cakung and Ciawi started back at the second
week of January 2019.
Cakung’s children who did their review back on last December 2018
were getting school supplies and stationeries.
Saturday is the day for nutritious improvement. Before, we just
went our usual ways. These days, we show the children a short educational animation
film, before eating.
We hope that children can take something out of this short movie.
They can pick out some moral issues and apply good deeds in their lives.
We asked the children to discuss the movie. Excitingly, children
told back the movie story and gave their opinion about the subject.
At the end the children encouraged to state good things that they
took out of the movie. Facilitators gave last words of advice to them.
At the third week of January 2019, we started our hand craft
activity in Cakung with quelling paper products. The community was making
valentine’s cards.
To order these cards, please see http://cakungchildrencreation.blogspot.com.
After learning, Sarang Tupai’s children played soccer in the yard,
while we prepared their meal.
We hope in a future, children can utilize this large yard to play
other sports such as badminton and volley ball.
For that reason, we need to prepare badminton’s and volley ball’s
equipment.
We hope for donations of these equipments.
We thanked
facilitators, volunteers and surrounding community who gave their time,
efforts, finances and facility for this learning program.
At the end of 2018, we have been invited by “RW’s leader”, the
community leader in Muara Tawar Village to start a learning center there. The
“RW” is a relative of one of Cakung’s community.
In the beginning of January 2019, we visited Muara Tawar. Muara
Tawar is a fisherman village, in Bekasi which sit next to Marunda, north
Jakarta.
There is a renovated Elementary school in Muara Tawar. The school
was renovated by en electric power company nearby through its CSR program.
Since there is no public transportation to reach the distance
middle school, the students have to use their family motorbike or use a
motorbike taxi to reach school.
We started our activity in Muara Tawar Village at the end of
January 2019.
The “RW”, community leader, prepared a shade in front of his home.
This shade is situated on top of canal where community ties their boats.
The shade is used for meeting with other community leader and also
for “posyandu”, children’s health service.
There are handful elementary school children in community.
We had 27 children attended our first appearance. They were range
from 3 to 12 years old.
After learning session, community leader asked us to talk about
learning desk and class rooms. They wanted to see children learn comfortably.
They offered us to use several spaces such as house terrace of
“RW” leader, the community leader and also some empty shades closed to main shade.
We keep hope for our dear friends’ support. We will need a lot of
helps at this new learning center.
Throughout January 2019, we prepared
various healthy fruits such as snake fruit, local ”duku” fruit, jackfruit and
rambutan for Cakung’s and Sarang Tupai’s children.
We prepared those fruits because of
their seasons in December 2018 and January 2019.
We also prepared rice noodle with
peanut butter sauce; warm palm sugar coconut milk with steam banana and steam
toothless gum fruit; hot chocolate and cookies; and hamburgers.
We also expressed facilitators
and the community of Cakung and Sarang Tupai who helped us with healthy dishes
throughout January 2019.
In the month of January, we fulfilled scholarship recipients’ need
such as monthly school fees, school transportation, school supplies and monthly
school activity.
We
