Karya Kartini

Pada Minggu, 21 Juni 2009, kami kedatangan tamu dari sanggar Ciliwung. Mereka terdiri dari enam orang. Salah satunya adalah Bude Ika, OSF & Drg.Hendro yang akan mengajari kami bagaimana cara menyikat gigi yang benar. Mereka datang pukul 10.30 WIB & membawa obat-obatan, bingkisan, & sikat gigi.

Kami memulai acara dengan duduk membentuk lingkaran & bernyanyi bersama untuk menyambut kedatangan Bude Ika, OSF, Drg.Hendro, dan teman-temannya. Selesai bernyanyi, dokter pun memberikan penyuluhan kebersihan & kesehatan gigi, bagaimana cara merawat gigi yang baik. Selesai penyuluhan, kami semua pergi ke rumah Ester untuk makan menu sehat. Pesertanya bukan hanya anak Cakung sawah tapi juga bersama dengan anak Cakung sampah. Kali ini menu sehatnya adalah makan telur & minum susu. Selesai menikmati menu sehat, kami melakukan kegiatan sikat gigi bersama dengan instruksi dari dokter bagaimana cara menyikat gigi yang benar agar gigi kami kuat & sehat. Kami menyikat gigi di depan rumah nenek kakek Yana.

Selesai menyikat gigi kami berkumpul kembali di rumah belajar & istirahat sejenak. Setelah istirahat, sebelum tamu-tamu pamit pulang, kami memberikan kenang-kenangan sebagai ucapan terimakasih. Kenang-kenangannya diberikan pada Drg.Hendro dari Kak I’ah. Kami bertepuk tangan saat Drg.Hendro menerima kenang-kenangan.

Hari mulai siang. Dokter & teman-teman mesti segera pulang, maka kami berfoto dengan dokter sebagai kenang-kenangan. Selesai berfoto, kami pun mengantarkan dokter hingga ke tempat parker. Dengan hati gembira, kami melepas kepergian dokter & teman-teman.

By Jessica A.

On Saturday, June 6, 2009, I & my friends : Yuliyana, Kartini, Susi, Yulia, Jemima, Indri, Desmon, & Mala are learning sewing. We are learned by Ms.Uju & Ms.Debby. This lesson today is adding scraps of clothes on handkerchief that they made.

While sewing, we eat ice coconut water. It’s so fresh after drink that. We can learn sewing enthusiastic.

We learn to make pattern from scraps of clothes. Ms.Uju teach us how to sew correctly & neatly. We make pattern from some red & black clothes. The pattern is as what we want. We cut some clothes in quadrangle, triangle, etc.

After we cut in pattern, we start to sew neatly then we sew on the white handkerchief. White cloth that we made, could used as handkerchief or tablecloth. We can use another colour & pattern as we like. After learning, we go home bringing our patchwork happily.

Pada Sabtu, 6 Juni 2009, saya & teman-teman; Yuliyana, Kartini, Susi, Yulia, Jemima, Indri, Desmon, & Mala belajar menjahit. Kami diajari oleh Kak Uju & Kak Debby. Pelajaran hari itu adalah menambahkan hiasan kain perca di atas sapu tangan yang kami buat.

Sambil menjahit, kami minum es kelapa muda. Segar sekali rasanya sehabis minum es kelapa muda. Kami jadi bisa belajar menjahit dengan antusias.

Kami belajar membuat pola dari kain perca yang dijahit. Kak Uju mengajarkan cara menjahit yang benar & rapi. Kami membuat pola dari kelebihan pakaian layak pakai sumbangan yang berwarna merah & hitam. Bentuk pola sesuai keinginan kami. Kami potong kain membentuk persegi, segitiga, dan lain-lain.

Setelah dipotong polanya, kami mulai menjahitnya dengan rapi. Setelah menjadi satu, kami tempelkan pada sapu tangan putih untuk dijahit kembali. Kain putih yang kami buat bisa digunakan sebagai sapu tangan atau taplak meja. Kami juga bisa mencari warna lain & bentuk sesuai selera. Setelah selesai, kami pun pulang membawa kain perca dengan senang.

When we arrive at Waterland, I & my friends change clothes & go to swim soon. So many people there. I am so happy. I & my friends learn to swim together. We try some pool, such as swimming pool with red high slide, then Olympic pool. The water is so cold & the pool is so deep. After, we are satistied, we go to the pool like beach.

PERGI BERENANG

Karya Yulia

Pada Rabu, 17 Juni 2009, saya & teman-teman PPA pergi berenang. Kami pergi pada pukul 14.00 WIB. Kami pergi naik angkot 30. Dalam perjalanan, kami melihat mobil, motor, dan truk-truk yang besar serta pohon-pohon & bunga-bunga indah di pinggir jalan memasuki kawasan.

Begitu sampai di Waterland, saya & teman-teman segera berganti pakaian, lalu kami langsung berenang. Banyak sekali orang-orang di dalam kolam renang. Saya sangat senang sekali. Saya & teman-teman berlatih berenang. Kami naik prosotan yang tinggi, berwarna merah, lalu kami mencoba berenang di kolam renang olimpic. Airnya dingin & kolam renangnya sangat dalam. Setelah kami puas berenang, kami pergi berenang ke kolam yang bentuknya seperti pantai. Di sana airnya hangat sekali. Saya senang sekali bermain air disitu.

Setelah puas berenang, kami membilas tubuh dengan mandi di kamar mandi yang disediakan di Waterland. Kamar mandinya penuh ramai dengan orang, terpaksa kami harus mengantri. Selesai mandi, kami makan kue-kue yang enak sambil beristirahat. Kami pulang pukul 17.00 WIB, naik angkot. Kami sangat lelah dalam perjalanan. Begitu tiba di rumah, saya pun beristirahat.

ENJOY HEALTHY MENU WHILE LEARNING TOGETHER

By Christine Jemima

As usual, Christine & Indri who are in charge of nutritious food development programme preparing the healthy menu every Saturday. On Saturday, June 6, 2009, the healthy menus are milk & coconut water. The first healthy menu; milk was preparing before we learned together. We had to boil water first & then ask the children to collect their glass for milk. After they gathered at learning house, we ask children to clip their nail, then wash their hand & feet so they are free from germ. It becomes the Cakung children habit everytime they learn. After that, we sit in circle & sing together for about 20 minutes & then Indri & I distribute milk for the children who attend, such as Jaka, Adit, Nur, Yuliyana, Umi, Cynthia, Lina, Lini, Intan, Ester, Yulia, Kartini, Eneng, Susi, Jingga, Desi, Tia, Kiki, Andhika, Pedro, Desmon, Andrew, Joel, Christine, Indri, & Jessica.

After the children finish their milk, we ask them to return their glass at home for a while & then we learn together. Small children like Joel, Andrew, Pedro, Adit, Tia, Kiki, Umi, Cynthia, Intan, Andhika, Desi, Jingga, Lina, Lini, Nur, & Eneng learn writing with Ms.Debby, while the big children such as Christine, Indri, Jessic, Yulia, Desmon, Ester, Kartini, Susi, Jaka, & Yana after doing the writing homework, learn patchwork with Ms.Uju. We use scraps of clothes from secondhand clothes. We sewed by needle & white yarn. Most of us like sewing, because needlework is not difficult, just takes patient. It’s so worth learning sewing colouring scraps of clothes. We can make tablecloth, dress, handkerchief, etc.

At 2.15 PM, Ms.Debby were asking Christine & Yuliyana to buy coconut water while we take a rest. Before that, I checked the absent. There were 26 children with 3 facilitators, such as Ms.Uwie, Ms.Uju, & Ms.Debby. So the total was 29. Then we went out buying it. Christine & Yuliyana started the journey until Sulton traditional market by foot. No coconut water seller anymore. We went to Pintu Air buying coconut water. The total expense is 58.000 rupiahs. We paid it & back to learning house bringing 2 big plastic bag coconut water.

At 3.30, we arrived, but the small children had left home, so we have to ask them again. We were gathering together at learning house, sat in circle & sang, then pass the coconut water one by one. We drink it happily. After that, small children left learning house while big children continued sewing activity.

Susi & Desmon had ready their work neatly. Ms.Debby suggest to make competition for our work. We were so happy to hear that. Almost night, we backed home & finish our work at home & collect our work at June 27, 2009. We cleaned learning house & back home happily.
