Progress Report of Children Learning Community in February 2019

Dear friends,

We were grateful to God and to our loyal friends who supported the children learning community activities throughout February 2019. The activities run smoothly at Cakung, Sarang Tupai, Ciawi and Muara Tawar.

For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, we wish you a very happy one.

During Chinese New Year, we celebrated this joyful moment with a family who was one of Cakung’s community members. The children attend our class regularly and the mother often teaches our cooking class as a facilitator.

They are happy to see us at their home that day.

On Saturday at the second week of February 2019, Cakung’s children visited Santa Maria’s Museum in Juanda Street and National Museum. 

     

Small children came with their mothers. We rented a mini bus that had enough sits for everybody. 

Children enjoyed their museum trip. Mr. Aji, a Santa Maria’s museum administrator, guided the children and explained the exhibit historical artifacts.

The children also had a chance to meet Sr. Lucia, OSU. She is the head of Santa Maria’s museum. She distributed snacks and drinks during break time and also gave her time to take group picture with the children.

We thanked Sr. Lucia OSU, Mr. Aji and staff for inviting us to their museum. We thanked for their time and warm welcome.

These days, children are more visual than ever. We understand that the children need to experience and look at the historical artifacts. We are sure that this method of education will be memorable for the children and will be beneficial in their learning development. 

This month, we compiled many pictures from our three learning centers. We also showed some pictures of the village of Muara Tawar.

We thank facilitators, volunteers and surrounding community who relentlessly gave their time, efforts, finances and place for this learning program.

The three learning centers are still in need of your financial support at this moment. Here is their priority:

1. Cakung’s center need a white board to replace the old white board and book cases for their library books
2. Sarang Tupai’s center need badminton and volley ball equipments.
3. Muara Tawar’s center needs learning desks.

For the sake of the children, we believe that these priorities will be meet with your support.

Throughout February 2019, we prepared various healthy foods in three facilities. Those foods were local fruits such as duku and sawo; also snake fruit and mangosteen.  We also prepared chocolate milk and snacks such as boiled eggs, donuts, fried onion cassava rolls, orange pudding and rice noodle egg roll. We prepared these snacks ourselves to ensure the children get the most nutritious and healthy snacks.

We expressed our gratitude to facilitators and the community of Cakung, Sarang Tupai and Muara Tawar who helped us with healthy foods this month.

This month, we fulfilled scholarship recipients’ need such as monthly school fees, school transportation, school supplies and monthly school activity.  

We thank loyal donor who relentlessly providing us with scholarship assistance.

Your support is valuable for these children’s future.

We ask many of our loyal friends to join us caring for the children and community. 

To fulfill the 2019’s budget gap, the facilitators encourage teenagers and mothers to make onion cheese stick and sauted peanuts for sale.

Order can be placed through email, telephone and whatsapp messages. These contact information will be stated at the end of this report.

Your attention and support give us strength to continue this duty and service.
