Hi everyone, here's the latest update with the second activity of our Road-Show program. This time it was held on June 14th 2009 at a foster home (rumah singgah) called "Sanggar Akar". The foster home was located at Kalimaralng, North Jakarta. "Sanggar Akar" is a place of 300 very creative children and teenager. We were amazed by their creativity and their willingness to learn about anything new. They learn music, school subject, theatrical and acting skills, writing skills and so on. They even have their own magazine in which they seek for information by being their own reporter. It was such a happy feelings to see those teenagers who can actually lift up their spirit of learning and of course to make a living. Other than that, this foster home also provides the informal learning class for the surrounding society who don't need enough money to go to the formal school. Here are some of the activities we have done, those include drawing competition, music (jimbe) performance from the talented boys. The event was so full of the cheerful feelings, we will surely going back to "Sanggar Akar" to meet those talented and skillful children. They give us a very valuable lesson in which knowledge and learning can still continue if you have the willingness to do so.
