Dear friend,
In our latest update, we wrote you about our collaboration with Yayasan Bina Berdaya Bangsa and our efforts to explore new ways to work together.
We are truly grateful for the positive outcomes that have emerged from our partnership with Yayasan Bina Berdaya Bangsa. This Community Development NGO has strong connections in one of Jakarta's most dense neighborhoods, where they provide valuable guidance and assistance to several teachers working in the area. Thanks to this collaboration, the knowledge from the Saya Suka Membaca program is being effectively applied in these schools. As a result, lots of children are now able to read and enjoy reading, which will have an impact on their future.
However, we remain committed to seeking new opportunities to collaborate with other organizations, especially in the more underprivileged parts of the city. Our goal is to raise awareness about our program and join forces with like-minded organizations that share our vision. Once again, we kindly ask for your help: If you know anyone who might be interested in supporting this project, please inform us. By doing so, we can train more teachers and reach out to children in the poorer communities of Jakarta.
Your continuous support means the a lot to us. It is an honor to work alongside you on this crucial project. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these children and contribute to a brighter future for Indonesia!
Salam literasi,
Stuart Patience
Dear friend,
A lot has happened in recent months, the new year has started and with new energy we started looking for new funds for this project. But unfortunately we have not succeeded in this yet, no new funds have become available yet. As a result, we have not yet been able to make the progress that we originally envisioned.
Of course, we will not stop looking for opportunities and we hope that in the coming months we will find new funds that can (partly) support this project, because we believe that it is necessary to make an impact in the poorest neighborhoods of Indonesia's capital . There where wealth and poverty are sometimes just a street away from each other. According to government figures, the capital has more than 500,000 people living below Indonesia's poverty line of Rp. 22,500 (US$1.44 per person per day). The number living just above this line in the Jakarta Capital District and the Greater Jakarta area is many times this number - and educational opportunities are a key factor in their struggle to escape poverty.
If you have connections who would like to support this project, would you please let us know? In this way we can equip more teachers and reach children in Jakarta's poorer communities.
Salam literasi,
Stuart Patience
