Laporan Kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar pada Maret 2014

Salam jumpa teman-teman yang baik,

http://upadhana.blogspot.com

Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi, Tahun Baru Caka 1936.
Selamat menjadi manusia baru yang selaras dengan alam dan sesama.

Sepanjang Maret 2014 ini, kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar dapat berjalan dengan baik. Kami bersyukur dan berterimakasih atas bantuan dan doa teman-teman.

Kegiatan Belajar Alternatif

a. Komunitas Anak Cakung

Kegiatan belajar sepanjang bulan ini dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Seperti bulan lalu, pada bulan ini ada 12 anak baru dan anak lama yang aktif kembali dari lingkungan sekitar yang masuk dalam kategori 0 hingga 3.

Kami senang atas bertambahnya jumlah anak dan kepercayaan warga pada kegiatan kami di rumah belajar Komunitas Anak Cakung. Kehadiran fasilitator laki-laki sejak bulan lalu juga turut menambah semaraknya suasana dan semangat belajar anak-anak laki-laki untuk mengikuti kegiatan belajar.

Semoga semangat yang ada tetap terus berkobar dan anak-anak tetap aktif mengikuti berbagai kegiatan yang diadakan di rumah belajar.

Kegiatan ketrampilan untuk selanjutnya masih tetap berfokus pada kreasi dari bahan-bahan yang dapat didaur ulang, seperti bungkus kopi, sabun cuci piring atau cuci pakaian serta kreasi kartu paper quilling yang dibuat dompet, tas, tempat tissue, dan tempat pensil. Selain itu juga pembuatan kartu ucapan paper quilling dan pembuatan kalung, gelang, dan anting dari mutiara dan batu alam sumbangan para sahabat.

Kami dengan senang hati menerima sumbangan bahan-bahan daur ulang dari teman-teman yang berkenan untuk mendukung kegiatan ketrampilan yang dilakukan oleh para remaja dan ibu Cakung. Mari bersama kita dukung gerakan pengurangan, penggunaan kembali, dan daur ulang sampah plastik di sekitar kita.

Terimakasih kami pada Sr. Marcelline, OSU yang rutin setiap bulan membantu mengumpulkan bahan-bahan yang bisa didaur ulang untuk kegiatan ketrampilan Komunitas Anak Belajar.

b. Komunitas Muara Baru

Selama bulan ini, kegiatan belajar dilakukan pada hari Minggu, 9 Maret 2014 dan 23 Maret 2014.

Kehadiran Kak Lucy, fasilitator yang pada tahun-tahun awal berdirinya Komunitas Anak Belajar, memberi suasana dan semangat baru pada anak-anak Muara Baru. Pendampingan belajar Matematika pada anak-anak remaja menjadi lebih terbantu.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas kerjasama para fasilitator, volunteer, anak-anak, warga Cakung dan Muara Baru, baik pada Kak Lucy, Riska, Kak Qori’ah, Kak Uju, Bu Mar’ah, Esther, Mohandri, Indri, dan anak-anak pengurus program, serta Bu Herda di Muara Baru.

Perpustakaan

Kegiatan perpustakaan masih dilakukan dengan registrasi ulang dan perawatan buku-buku perpustakaan. Buku-buku pelajaran dikeluarkan dari data buku untuk dipinjamkan atau diberikan pada yang membutuhkan. Beberapa buku digunakan sebagai referensi belajar anak-anak pada beberapa kategori.

Kegiatan administrasi yang dilakukan oleh tim perpustakaan, sejak awal Maret 2014 dijadwalkan setiap Kamis dan berdasarkan kesepakatan tim, beberapa kali diteruskan pada Jumat selesai kegiatan belajar.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas dukungan, perhatian dan ketekunan koordinator dan tim program perpustakaan, yang tetap setia meluangkan waktu untuk menyelesaikan tugas ini.

Kegiatan Peningkatan Gizi Anak

Selama Maret 2014 ini, kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak berlangsung dengan baik.

Selain minum susu rutin setiap Sabtu, menu sehat bulan ini adalah telur rebus, pisang, tahu isi siomay, puding busa jeruk, dan rujak kangkung.

Menu sehat pada Sabtu I Maret 2014 adalah telur rebus, yang biasanya anak-anak makan dibubuhi kecap atau garam. Menu sehat pada Jumat II Maret 2014 adalah pisang, sedangkan pada Sabtu III Maret 2014, menu sehat yang dihidangkan tim kegiatan peningkatan gizi anak adalah tahu isi siomay, yang dipersiapkan oleh tim gizi anak sejak Jumat, mulai dari menulis resep, daftar belanja, hingga pembagian tugas kerja keesokan harinya.

Pada Jumat IV Maret 2014, menu sehat yang dihidangkan adalah puding busa jeruk. Sekalipun cukup membuat tim sibuk dan kewalahan, terbayar dengan hasil yang tidak mengecewakan. Puding yang disajikan cantik dan rasanya enak. Anak-anak senang makan puding, sementara beberapa anak merasa aneh dengan adanya busa di atas puding, sekalipun sudah kaku dan dingin.

Pada Sabtu terakhir Maret 2014, rujak kangkung disiapkan oleh tim bagi seluruh anak dan para ibu yang hadir dalam kegiatan koperasi. Anak-anak senang makan rujak kangkung dengan bumbunya yang pedas dan asam.

Kami berterimakasih pada koordinator dan tim pengurus program serta kakak-kakak fasilitator yang telah membantu mempersiapkan menu sehat dengan baik.

Beasiswa

Pada Maret 2014, pengeluaran dana beasiswa mencakup biaya registrasi ulang perkuliahan semester IV, pembelian pulsa modem internet, fotokopi bahan pelajaran, tinta warna untuk printer, buku pelajaran, perlengkapan ketrampilan murid SD dan biaya transport mingguan bagi beberapa penerima dana beasiswa penuh.

Dua volunteer pendamping anak kategori 0, yang dulunya adalah peserta belajar anak kategori IV memiliki minat untuk melanjutkan sekolah tingkat SMA dan SMK. Keduanya ditinggal pergi ayahnya yang adalah tulang punggung keluarga, dan pada akhirnya sang ibu harus bekerja kasar untuk menghidupi anak-anaknya. Kini kedua volunteer ini masih dalam penilaian kami, terutama masalah komitmen mendampingi anak-anak belajar di rumah belajar.

Terimakasih kami pada teman-teman yang berkenan rutin membantu penyelenggaraan program beasiswa ini. Kami berharap kerjasama ini dapat terus berlanjut dan menjadi bekal yang berguna bagi masa depan anak-anak.

Laporan Kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar pada Februari 2014

Salam jumpa teman-teman yang baik,

Sepanjang Februari 2014 ini, kegiatan Komunitas Anak Belajar dapat berjalan dengan baik. Kami bersyukur dan berterimakasih atas bantuan dan doa teman-teman.

Pada Senin pagi, 4 Februari 2014, kami melayat seorang bayi perempuan, adik bungsu anak kat. 0, yaitu Nur, yang meninggal dunia pada malam hari di dalam gubuk kecilnya yang dilanda banjir karena semalaman hujan deras turun.

Keluarga dari Nur terpaksa minta ijin tetangga terdekat untuk dijadikan rumah duka selama beberapa jam, sebelum adik Nur dimakamkan pada pukul 10 pagi di areal pemakaman pesantren Al Qudwah.

Kami turut berdukacita bersama keluarga Nur dan kami percaya adik Nur telah berbahagia bermain bersama para malaikat di tempat yang damai dan abadi.

Pada Sabtu, 15 Februari 2014, tim Sari Ayu Martha Tilaar di bawah pimpinan Ibu Wulan menggelar hair cut day sebagai bagian dari CSR Puspita Martha, Martha Tilaar di Cakung, bekerjasama dengan kami, Komunitas Anak Belajar. Tim yang berjumlah 18 orang ini begitu tiba, langsung mempersiapkan peralatannya dan siap menggunting rambut anak-anak dan warga Cakung yang telah mendaftar.

Selesai menggunting rambut anak-anak, masing-masing diberikan bingkisan berupa biscuit dan susu. Mereka yang telah terdaftar ada sekitar 40 orang, sementara kegiatan gunting rambut ini mencapai 60 orang lebih, karena warga sekitar juga turut berpartisipasi. Seminggu sebelumnya obat pembasmi kutu diberikan agar saat kegiatan berlangsung para peserta sudah bersih dari kutu.

Acara berakhir pada siang hari, menjelang dimulainya kegiatan belajar bersama. Kami berfoto bersama dan menerima bingkisan produk kecantikan Sari Ayu, sebelum melepas Ibu Wulan, Kak Alvie, dan tim Puspita Martha. Selesai kegiatan belajar, bagi para peserta kegiatan potong rambut yang telah mendaftar, diberikan angpau.

Terimakasih atas kesempatan dan kepercayaan yang telah diberikan tim Puspita Martha, Martha Tilaar bagi kami, Komunitas Anak Belajar dan warga Cakung. Terimakasih banyak atas bantuan dan hadiah yang diberikan. Kiranya kerjasama ini dapat terus berlanjut dengan baik.

Kegiatan Belajar Alternatif

a. Komunitas Anak Cakung

Kegiatan belajar sepanjang bulan ini dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Ada beberapa anak baru dari lingkungan sekitar yang masuk dalam kategori 2 dan 3. Pada bulan ini ada 8 anak baru yang masuk dalam kategori 3, 4 anak baru yang masuk dalam kategori 2, dan 2 anak baru yang masuk dalam kategori 0.

Kami senang atas bertambahnya jumlah anak dan kepercayaan warga pada kegiatan kami di rumah belajar Komunitas Anak Cakung.

Semoga semangat belajar anak tetap terus berkobar dan tetap aktif mengikuti kegiatan yang diadakan di rumah belajar.

Kegiatan ketrampilan untuk selanjutnya masih tetap berfokus pada kreasi dari bahan-bahan yang dapat didaur ulang, seperti bungkus kopi, sabun cuci piring atau cuci pakaian serta kreasi kartu paper quilling yang dibuat dompet, tas, tempat tissue, dan tempat pensil. Selain itu, pembuatan telur asin kami lakukan sehubungan dengan adanya pemesanan, demikian juga dengan pembuatan kartu ucapan dari paper quilling.

Kami dengan senang hati menerima sumbangan bahan-bahan daur ulang dari teman-teman yang berkenan untuk mendukung kegiatan ketrampilan yang dilakukan oleh para remaja dan ibu Cakung. Mari bersama kita dukung gerakan pengurangan, penggunaan kembali, dan daur ulang sampah plastik di sekitar kita.

Pada bulan Februari 2014, Yana yang menjadi fasilitator anak kategori 0 mohon ijin untuk beristirahat dari kegiatan pendampingan belajar anak selama masa kehamilan hingga melahirkan. Kini fasilitator anak kategori 0 digantikan oleh Esther dan Mohandri, yang pada 2010 lalu adalah peserta belajar kategori 4.

b. Komunitas Muara Baru

Selama bulan ini, kegiatan belajar dilakukan pada hari Minggu, 2 Februari 2014 dan 16 Februari 2014.

Ada beberapa sumbangan alat tulis saat musibah banjir melanda pada bulan Januari 2014, yang kami bagikan saat selesai belajar pada bulan Februari ini. Anak-anak gembira menerima pembagian buku tulis dan alat tulis.

Semoga diberikannya buku dan alat tulis ini membuat anak-anak semakin semangat belajar dan berkumpul bersama pada hari kegiatan belajar di Muara Baru.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas kerjasama para fasilitator, volunteer, anak-anak, warga Cakung dan Muara Baru, baik pada Kak Qori’ah, Kak Uju, Bu Mar’ah, Esther, Mohandri, Indri, Bu Sutini dan anak-anak pengurus program, serta Bu Herda di Muara Baru.

Perpustakaan

Kegiatan perpustakaan diawali dengan registrasi ulang dari data buku perpustakaan tahun 2009 hingga 2013. Selama dua bulan, agenda kegiatan perpustakaan adalah registrasi ulang.

Kegiatan berlangsung dengan baik dibantu oleh tim perpustakaan yang merelakan waktu selama beberapa hari menginap di rumah belajar, namun karena banyaknya buku dan sebagian besar anak-anak yang terlibat dalam tim masih awam dalam kegiatan administrasi perpustakaan maka para fasilitator juga terjun membantu kegiatan ini.

Pada dua hari terakhir sebelum berakhirnya bulan Februari, kegiatan cek fisik dan data dilakukan.

Kami ucapkan terimakasih banyak atas dukungan, perhatian dan ketekunan koordinator dan tim program perpustakaan, yang tetap setia meluangkan waktu untuk menyelesaikan tugas ini.
