Dear friends,
We were grateful to God and to our loyal friends who supported the children learning community throughout February 2020. All activities at Cakung, Sarang Tupai, Ciawi and Muara Tawar ran smoothly.
In the middle of February, big sister Eka, Ms.Ko, Nikola and her Junior High friends assisted Muara Tawar’s children. Big brother Arif, also came by. Big sister Nikola is a daughter of Ms.Ko. Big brother Arif was an old friend since the first Cakung community located.
The children were happy to see big sister Nikola and her friends. The children enjoyed their friendly mentorship. They learned many subjects, including English.
Big sister Nikola also shared her birthday moment with the children.
The children enjoyed delicious birthday cake from big sister Nikola. They were also very grateful to have from big sister Nikola and her friends teaching them.
They were hoping to see them back and continue connecting with them.
Our community also grateful to welcome the newest member. Big sister Mona, a long time Cakung’s facilitator had a beautiful baby. Big sister Mona used to taught the Cakung’s children in the middle of vegetable field.
We prayed for the health of mother and the baby.
On Tuesday, at the 18th of February 2020, we lost our dear friend, the late Sr. Elisa, OSU. She has always been supported of women’s and teenager’s skill development in providing the coffee pack.
Cakung’s and Ciawi’s ladies remembered her as a nun who diligently collected coffee packs for them. They use the recycle coffee pack for making hand bags and other things.
We prayed for God’s forgiveness and peaceful resting.
On the 19th of February 2020, Cakung’s and Muara Tawar’s children attended Alena’s birthday party. She is a little sister of big sister Nikola.
Children were happy to celebrate birthday at Alena’s home.
Children thanked Ms.Ko and her family for their kindness in sharing their joy with them.
The children prayed for Alena in her growing up and character building.
May she grow to be a person who obey and respect her parents.
At the same day, Ciawi’s children also gathered to commemorate the passing of late Holil, 40 days ago. Children had lunch with the family of late Holil.
The mother thanked the children and asked them to pray for Holil’s eternal resting place.

We were grateful to fulfil children’s needs through scholarship program this month.
