Project Sarikan and Sunter Condiment Giving (INDONESIA)
Date: 200511 - 240511
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Sarikan - 210511 to 230511
Dear AB Members,
The day began with the arrival at Jakarta. Immediately upon linking up with our contacts, we set off by driving to an area known as Sunter and our destination is Pondok Ozanam which serves close to 140 families in food supplies and 40 elderly in cooked food 3 times weekly.
The next morning we had to take a domestic flight to Pontianak then drive up to Sarikan which took us 2 hours with 2 stopovers in between. Upon arrival at Lembah Rivotorto, we went about compiling more information about the area. In this district, there are 3 areas under it's ward, they are known as Rumah Ayak, Rumah Sarikan and Rumah Mangis. At this stage, we know for sure Rumah Ayak has 34 families, Sarikan has 120 families as for Rumah Mangis the head count weren't firm at the point of visit.
Visited some Dayaks (local people) and witnessed that they are in need of dire support. To reach them, we need to walk into the forest along a path. It's the main vein which leads to smaller paths either branching to the right/left and each of it leads to a family. They were all with smiles when we came by. Though life is hard, it gives them comfort that people are willing to come visit.
Thereafter, we had dinner at the the church. Compiled more details, then headed back to the city of Pontianak. We concluded that for the next visit, sanitation is the first thing we will look at follow by education and lastly skill induction programs. More will be elaborated about this 3 projects. We arrived back at Jakarta on 230511. From the airport, we went straight to Pondok Ozanam.
Our visit was a collaboration with Lembah Rivotorto (Church), Hand in Hand (HIH), SOUL Foundation sponsored by AB Charity (AB.com).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now sure that there are 3 aspects we can work on.
Sanitation - Build a toilet for every family
To enhance living conditions, it's necessary to look into this matter immediately.
A project Sanitation will kick start our efforts for the people of Rumah Ayak.
Our plan is to build 34 toilets. Designs and cost sourcing are underway as we speak. An update will be available by Aug 2011.
Education for kids - Part time studies for children
There is a classroom which we had identified for the studies to take place.
We are targeting 5 to 10 year olds for this program and up to 25 kids for the first semester.
A fund raiser will begin in Apr 2012, resource purchases will commence by June 2012. Classes starts by Jan 2013.
Skill induction Programs - Skills for teenagers
To do this, we need to construct a building then equip it with facilities.
We are targeting a space of 200m by 200m. We will only commence this if the education program succeeds.
To give continuity for the children's betterment, this facility will help to set the next step towards earning a living.
We will begin acquiring land as early as 2013 Jan. Construction commences in Jan 2014. Program starts by June 2015.
This visit was a collaboration with HIH (Hand In Hand) and Team SOUL is very thankful for their hosting.
