Women’s Parenting Class and Cooking Class in Rose Cemetery
Our cooking class, which meets every two weeks, has two themes. The first is learning how to cook nutritious cuisine on a minimal budget and using ingredients that are easily accessible. We also introduce food that is unfamiliar but can be found and is highly nutritious, such as Moringa leaves. This is so that mothers can explore various types of cooking for their children and can strengthen the mindset of nutritional cooking. The second theme is exploring how to cook dishes that might be sold in the market so that any mothers who want to be entrepreneurs in the culinary field can have experience making and selling such food.
On the other two weeks in a month, we partner with volunteers who are experts in the parenting field to provide materials for a parenting class. The materials provided in our parenting classes are adjusted to the needs in the community and also by request. For example, when a mother tells us about the difficulty of helping her child who is addicted to gadgets and does not want to go to school, we ask our partners to direct the parenting class material toward the theme "Use of Gadgets Wisely for Children.” Other themes include “Educating Children with Love,” and “Techniques for Disciplining Children,” which will continue to be adapted to the findings and needs in the field.
Despite their busy schedules, many women are still eager to attend these classes. There are around 9-14 people who consistently enthusiastically participate on a weekly basis. Apart from learning from the facilitator who gives the material, these classes also provided a positive space for mothers to discuss, share, and strengthen each other.
Smart Kids Class in Rose and Yellow Flower Cemeteries
The goal of Smart Kids class is to help children's character grow, provide the life skills needed according to their age, and develop their emotional intelligence through various games, crafts, and other educational activities that we are still developing to this day. This class is usually attended by 7-17 children (elementary school) every Friday. Some class topics include, “Respect for Parents and Good Manners,” “Maintaining Dental and Oral Hygiene,” “Having and Developing Positive Hobbies,” and “Making Friends in Unity and in Diversity.”
In general, the material is given based on these themes: health, socializing with friends, self-management, environment, psychology-emotional, moral, and inspirational stories from the Bible adapted for the public. All the material provided in the groups of these themes is adjusted to the child's developmental age, and presented in a fun way. Such grouping of themes should cover the holistic educational needs of children.
We are always grateful for your support so that we can continue these programs in Yellow Flower and Rose Cemeteries!
