Community Development in East Java

Project Report | Jan 18, 2019
Thankful in all Circumstances

By Ron Toft | Development Coordinator

In East Java, our Community Development Program helps women and their families facing poverty and systematic prostitution. A major part of that program is encouraging the strength of the families in this community. To that goal we host several major events for families, including a recent Thanksgiving feast.

About 200 kids, moms, dad, grandmas, and grandpa's from the cemetery community joined us thi year. Women from the community provided desserts to top off the catered feast. Teens and kids provided full entertainment. They performed flawless magic routines, recited original poetry pieces, belted out duets and boy band specials both in english and Indonesian AND DANCED AND DANCED AND DANCED.

The community chose "Be thankful in all Circumstances" as the theme of the evening. The focus was on celebrating the gift of rich friendship we share with the community there.
