words in Bahasa and English and some form of craft activity. It’s a lot to try and pack in an hour but so far, all the students enjoy it, and we enjoy working alongside Nawan also. We do have lots of fun!!!! We know all the mothers who come along with their children and either wait outside the classroom or are involved in assisting their children—this is a real bonus because they are all so friendly. We also provide small milk boxes and biscuits for the students as they leave after their session. Through the ANZA Social Welfare Committee, we have secured 10.3 million IDR for Kampung Kids over a six-month period. This money has been targeted for the feeding programme at Kampung Kids. David Adams, through the Priscilla Hall foundation has matched ANZA’s donation, further leveraging our social welfare funds. I launched a fundraising effort at my previous school in New Zealand,
where the students there raised an additional 7.3 million IDR for Kampung Kids. The Kampung school was grateful for the financial contribution, but also a donation of toys, games and play equipment donated by Alison Gee before she left to return to Australia. Kampung Kids has a big place in our hearts. We all love our mornings there and look forward to the small smiling faces greeting us as we arrive! They are always needing new volunteers to teach pre-school classes, so if you are interested and would like to come and have a look to see what the programme entails, please let me know. You would be most welcome to come and visit, Mondays at 9am to 10 am. Please contact socialwelfare@anzajakarta.com for additional information. ¿
