2011 Project Updates
Family Care Indonesia members Nicolas and Frances visited the Island of Rote to survey the areas for future projects as well as visiting the only orphanage on this remote Island where they donated Snacks and Stationery to the 340 children there.
As part of our on-going commitment to support needy institutions with food and goods Family Care Indonesia volunteers have been distributing a large amount of soup (in powder form) to many of the institutions we have been helping for several years.
In cooperation with the BrillKids Foundation, Family Care Indonesia volunteer, Dina, was able to present an early learning reading kit to the teachers at the YKAKI Foundation for Cancer Children.
For the past four years, Family Care Indonesia volunteers have made regular visits to West Flores Island to help the village people there. In June, project coordinator, Frances, along with 8 FCI youth volunteers returned again to Flores.
In 2007 Family Care Indonesia volunteer, Angel received several phone calls from a friend concerned about the educational need for families along the Indonesian/Timor Leste border. This spurred our concern and with the help of local sponsors FCI gathered a variety of educational supplies for the schools there.
For the past two years Family Care Indonesia volunteers have collaborated with the Putri Kasih Sisters in assisting low-income families in the Cilincing neighborhood of Marunda, North Jakarta.
Special thanks to the sponsors who made it possible for Family Care Indonesia volunteers to celebrate Easter at a number of places this month.
Family Care Indonesia often sends volunteers to remote areas of Indonesia. Usually this comes about through friends we’ve met while conducting our volunteer activities. These friends then invite us to conduct special projects in other areas of Indonesia.
Family Care Indonesia volunteers held a one day teachers workshop at PAUD Rama Rama, Serpong, Jakarta for 13 teachers of the school. The school teaches 73 children ages 3-5. Classes are divided to facilitate an excellent student teacher ratio of 1 teacher for every 4 to 6 students.
During December 2010 and January 2011 a team from Family Care Indonesia visited South Sulawesi. The team conducted an inspiring free motivational seminar at the Poly Technic Institute for Health for 93 nurses.
