Happy New Year 2020
And for those
families who celebrate Chinese Lunar Year, we wish you a very prosperous year.
Dear friends,
We were
grateful to God and to our loyal friends who supported the children learning
community throughout January 2020. All activities at Cakung, Sarang Tupai,
Ciawi and Muara Tawar ran smoothly.
All learning activity were started back at the second week of January
2020.
Monsoon rain poured Jakarta started in New Year Evening 2020. It caused flood in all parts of Jakarta.
Water rose up to adult’s waist. Many families along Ciliwung’s river banks
were affected by raging water. In Manggarai area, many houses along the river were
swept by it.
During holiday, we assisted many of flood victims.
We thank Sr. Agustina, BKK, big sister Eka, Miss Ko, Mother Superior of Fransiskan Congregation, and Matraman Marsudirini Elementary’s teachers.
Below are pictures of Manggarai and Cakung during flood time in January.
At the 7th of
January 2020, we lost big sister Vero, one of our devoted donor and early facilitator in Cakung.
We remembered her kindness. She
has contributed her time and finance since the beginning of children learning
program in Cakung Sawah. We really
missed her.
We prayed for her peace in
the house of the Lord, the eternal resting place.
On Friday, at the 10th
of January 2020, the children were invited by Caritas
Christi Preschool and Elementary School for Christmas celebration.
Children are grateful to
Caritas Christi Preschool’s and Elementary School’s Principal, teachers and
students. Children are looking forward for future collaboration.
Sarang Tupai, Ciawi’s parents
and children were grieved after the passing of Holil on Saturday, at the 11th
of January 2020.
He was only 12
We were saddened.
We prayed for his peaceful
rest and strength for the family.
To other children, Holil’s
mom encourage them to stay studying at the learning centre. It also helps mom
and extended family cope with grievance seeing other children striving for
better future.
The Ciawi’s mother were also
involved by providing food for comforting prayers and gathering up to 7 days
after the passing.
On Tuesday evening, at the 21st
of January 2020, a Cakung’s facilitator also lost her father.
Many of Cakung’s facilitators
came to her place and many of Ciawi’s facilitators came for funeral procession
at the grave yard.
The facilitator thanked all
of her dear friends for their prayers and kind attention. We pray for peaceful
resting place and for the family’s strength going through the mourning
period.
On Saturday, at the 25th
of January 2020, all learning activities were halted due to Lunar New Year.
Several Cakung’s children
visited one of the member of community for New Years’ celebration.
They were excited enjoying
many of family’s New Year dishes.
We thank the community for
keeping caring relationship among each other. This is impacted on children
since we also taught them to care one another.
We also thanked facilitators, volunteers and surrounding community who
relentlessly gave their time, efforts, finances and place for this learning
program throughout January 2020
Below are pictures of Cakung’s, Ciawi’s,
and Muara Tawar’s activities:

With your support, children will have hope for better
future.

We are
grateful to our friends for their support in prayers, finances, efforts and
materials throughout this month.
You
have boosted our moral in bringing up the underprivileged. You have given these
children the opportunity to be smart, independent and prosper in their own
community. Together, we have taken part with nation’s effort for social
justice.
Financial contributions and
continuous support were still needed in 2020.
Even the smallest helps, will
be beneficial to the children, the future of a nation.
Thank you
very much to Jessica and Mr.David for your kindness in translating this report.

your continuous contribution to the program.

are called to bring peace and welfare to the world.
God bless us,
