Dear friends and supporters,
Happy New Year!
We wish you a new year filled with peace, joy, and prosperity! We survived 2020 and thrived because of your continued support. We were able to exceed our goals and expand our services because of the generosity and commitment of people like you.
As we begin this new year, we are thrilled to inform you that Yayasan Usaha Mulia's project https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/help-promote-good-reading-habits-in-kalimantan/ has been chosen as GlobalGiving's Project of the Month for January 2021! Our project to enhance the quality of literacy and education in Central Kalimantan was duly selected from a pool of more than 5,000 nonprofit projects in 170+ countries. Nearly 3,000 donors come together and make monthly donations to keep the Project of the Month going. This extra support means the world to us—and to the children living in Bukit Batu, Central Kalimantan.
Since the government has mandated school closure as well as all training centers, the Vocational Training Centre in Cipanas is still closed for the public. The area in which the training center is located still has a high number of COVID-19 cases. However, with your donations, we have found ways to still run online classes, at least for our English class. This year we plan to extend the online classes beyond English and introduce Financial Literacy, Digital Marketing, and many others. YUM plans to collaborate with third parties in conducting these sessions. We hope to find partners from professional fields, universities, and corporates.
We look forward to continuing our efforts and keep connecting with the youth who can benefit from our programs and we can only achieve that with your continued compassion and generous support.
Sincerely,
Yolanda
Project Leader
