Bulan Pebruari dan Maret adalah bulan yang dipenuhi aktivitas-aktivitas menarik. Kami melakukan distribusi makanan, seragam sekolah kepada korban banjir, pasar loak, membantu biaya medis, dan beberapa siswa/i baru.

February and March have been an exciting month. We conducted our usual food distribution, uniform distribution to the flood victims, flea market, medical sponsorship, and new student sponsorship.

Pembagian makanan

Kami masih secara konsisten mendistribusikan 400 paket makanan setiap minggunya. Jumlah penerima makanan kami telah bertambah. Kami mengatasi situasi ini dengan mengimplementasikan batasan baru bahwa hanya mereka yang datang sendiri dapat menerima paket makanan, dengan perkecualian untuk kaum manula.

Food distribution

We still consistently distributed 400 food packages every week. Our food recipients have definitely increased in number. We tackled this situation by setting up new boundaries that only those who came in person to collect the food is elligible to receive our food packages, with the exceptions of senior citizens.

Pembagian seragam sekolah

Setelah banjir besar yang terjadi bulan Januari, kami diberi informasi bahwa banyak murid di RW 08 daerah Pertamburan yang kehilangan seragam mereka. Untuk menanggapi situasi ini, kami bekerja sama dengan RW untuk memilih 103 murid termiskin dari sekitar 500 anak sekolah di RW 08, menginterview mereka mengenai kebutuhan seragam dan mengukur mereka. Terima kasih kepada donatur kami, kegiatan pengumpulan dana dapat diselesaikan dalam waktu kurang dari seminggu. Kami memesan seragam berdasarkan ukuran dan mendistribusikannya pada awal Maret 2013. Benar-benar perasaan yang memuaskan untuk dapat menolong mereka yang membutuhkan.

Student uniforms distribution

In the aftermath of the big flood that happened last January, we were informed that many students in RW 08 Pertamburan area lost their uniforms. In response to this situation, we worked together with the RW to choose 103 poorest students out of approximately 500 students in RW 08, interviewed them about their uniform need and took their measurements. Thanks to our sponsors, the fund raising was completed in less than a week. We ordered the uniforms based on the students' measurements and distributed it in early March 2013. It was a very satisfactory feeling to be able to help those in need.

Pendanaan Medis

Periode ini juga mengungkapkan banyak kesempatan untuk melakukan membantu biaya medis: darah tinggi Bu Minah, kecelakaan motor Pak Dani, Ahmad Saefudin yang terkena tipus, dan bayi bu Minah yang terkena demam. Kami senang dapat memberikan bantuan tepat waktu kepada klien-klien kami.

Medical sponsorship

This period also revealed many opportunities for medical sponsorship: Ms. Minah's high blood pressure, Mr. Dani's motor cycle accident, Mr. Ahmad Saefudin's typhoid, and Ms. Minah's baby's fever. We are happy to be able to provide timely help to our clients.

Pasar loak

Pada bulan Maret, kami diberi kesempatan untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pasar loak Taman Oasis. Untuk usaha ini, kami mendapatkan dukungan yang luar biasa dari teman-teman kami dalam bentuk barang bekas berkualitas baik seperti pakaian, tas, buku-buku, sepatu, dll. Kami dapat menjual kebanyakan barang-barang ini. Terima kasih kepada para sukarelawan dan donatur.

Flea Market

In March, we were offered a chance to participate in Taman Oasis flea market. For this effort, we got tremendous support from our friends in the form of good quality items like clothes, bags, books, shoes, etc. We were able to sell most of the items. Thank you to the volunteers and sponsors.

Pendanaan siswa

Bulan ini, ada satu murid baru yang bergabung dalam program pendanaan siswa kami, Mutia Kusdianti. Mutia adalah putri dari seorang office boy di perusahaan air di Jakarta. Mutia bersekolah di SMP Muhammadiyah 6.

Di samping itu, kami memberikan bantuan biaya kepada Yulinda, seorang putri dari kurir di daerah Pertamburan dengan biaya sekolah tambahan untuk persiapan ujian nasional. Yulinda bersekolah di SDN05.

Student sponsorship

This month, one new student joined our student sponsorship program, Mutia Kusdianti. Mutia is the daughter of office boy in one of the water companies in Jakarta. Mutia is attending SMP Muhammadiyah 6.

In addition, we sponsored Yulinda, a daughter of a courier in Pertamburan area with her extra tuition for national exam preparation. Yulinda is attending SDN05.

Terima kasih atas dukungan kalian sehingga kami dapat memberikan dukungan tepat waktu kepada mereka yang membutuhkan.

Thank you for all your support so that we were able to provide timely support to those in need.

Januari 2013 adalah bulan yang berwarna. Jakarta mengalami banjir besar dan kami diminta untuk memberikan bantuan bencana. Di samping itu, kami memenuhi janji kami kepada murid-murid yang tidak mendapatkan ukuran seragam yang benar dan salah satu pendukung kami Dato Ruby Khong datang mengunjungi kami untuk mengamati kegiatan kami.

January 2013 is a colorful month as Jakarta was experiencing the big flood and we are called to provide disaster relieve assistance. In addition, we fulfill our promises to the students who did not get appropriate uniform size and our patron, Dato Ruby Khong visited us to observe our activities.

Kegiatan Pembagian Paket Nasi Bungkus

Setelah berlibur tahun baru selama satu minggu, kami memulai kembali kegiatan pembagian makanan di daerah Petamburan dan Karet. Klien-klien kami senang melihat kami dan sebaliknya. Kami secara konsisten membagikan 400 paket makanan setiap minggunya.

Food distribution activities

After one week of new year holiday, we recommence our food distribution activities in Petamburan and Karet area. Our clients were obviously happy to see us and vice versa. We consistently distributed 400 food packages per week.

Bantuan bencana banjir

Dato Ruby Khong, Presiden Kechara Soup Kitchen di Malaysia datang mengunjungi kami pada tanggal 18 – 19 Januari 2013 untuk mengamati kegiatan kami. Kunjungannya kebetulan bersamaan dengan bencana banjir besar.

Kami melihat bahwa beberapa klien-klien kami terkena bencana ini. 8 dari 10 RT di bawah administrasi RW 8 di Pertamburan terpaksa meninggalkan rumahnya dan tinggal berdesakan di mesjid dan masak di dapur umum.

Dalam beberapa jam, kami kembali dengan persediaan air bersih, diaper, beras, dan mie instan. Saya rasa, hubungan yang kami bangun selama ini melalui kegiatan makanan mingguan terbayar pada saat-saat seperti ini. Bantuan bencana kami didistribusikan dengan damai dengan bantuan RW 8.

Flood disaster relief program

Dato Ruby Khong, the President of Kechara Soup Kitchen in Malaysia came to visit us on 18 – 19 January 2013 to observe our activities. Her visit coincided with the big flood.

We noted that some of our clients were hit hard 8 out of 10 RTs under the administration of RW 8 in Pertamburan were displaced by the flood and they temporarily stayed in the mosques and cooked in communal kitchen.

Within several hours we came back with a supply of clean water, diapers, rice, and instant noodles. I guess, the relationship that we have been building through our food distribution activities paid off in the time like this. Our disaster relief assistance were distributed peacefully with the help of RW 8.

Pembayaran uang sekolah bagi siswa/i kami

Karena sebagian besar donatur siswa/i kami membayar setiap 6 bulan sekali, kami membayarkan uang sekolah siswa/i atas nama donatur kami. Untuk menjaga tradisi transparansi, kwitansi bukti pembayaran dari sekolah kami berikan kepada donatur. Sekarang ini ada 28 siswa/i dalam program kami di samping 18 siswa/i yang telah lulus sebelumnya.

Tuition payment for our students

As most of of our sponsors paid semi annually for the students they sponsored, we have been paying the student tuitions for the period of January – June 2013 to the schools on behalf of our sponsors. To keep up with the tradition and maintaining transparencies, we provided the proof of payments from the school to the sponsors. Currently, there are 28 active students under our sponsorship in addition to 18 students that have graduated previously.

Pembagian seragam sekolah

Pada bulan Desember 2012, ketika kami membagikan seragam sekolah, beberapa murid tidak mendapatkan ukuran seragam yang benar karena ukuran fisik yang unik. Karena itu, untuk memenuhi janji kami kepada mereka, kami memesan seragam dengan ukuran khusus untuk mereka. Sebagai Kecharian, penting bagi kami untuk memenuhi janji kami seperti yang dinasihatkan H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, kita harus bertindak dengan integritas.

Pada bulan Febuari 2013, kami akan melakukan pembagian seragam sekolah lagi untuk murid-murid di pertamburan yang seragamnya hanyut oleh banjir. Bila kalian ingin membantu, hubungi kami di This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Uniform distribution

In December 2012, when we are distributing the uniforms, few students did not get the correct size because their physical size are quite unique. Thus, to keep up with our promise to them, we have the uniforms custom made for them. It is important for us to fulfil our promises as Kecharian as advised by H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche should act with integrity.

In February 2013, we will have another uniform distribution program for the students in Pertamburan area whose uniforms were washed away by flood. If you would like to led a hand, do let us know at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
