GALLERY ON APRIL 2010

 

April was a very big month of activities!


To start with early this month we received resources from Kangguru. We were so happy when we got the package full with resources such as magazines, stationeries, small items for prizes and listening resources. These will help us to improve our teaching skills as tutors as well as benefit our students. Thank you Kangguru!
Also Miss Jen had added some items to our shopping list such as washing machine, mop, fan for film room, 16 port modem, resource book for each of our Communities (sport, music, art, chess) – with Australian donation money from Jen’s old work and some friends in Brisbane. This would definitely make everything much easier for us. Thanks Jen and the friends in Australia!
e had two of our beloved tutors, Apry and Ibu Lillis celebrate their birthday this April. Some cakes and suprises were arranged by the students and the result.. SURPRISE!!! Happy birthday Apry and Ibu Lilis - we love you.
On Tuesday 13th four VIDA volunteers (from Austrlia) visited us. We organized a tour activity for them around Bogor with a group of students as guides. This activity helped oru students practice English, interact with foriegners and practice for a possible future project. The VIDAs were so happy and enjoyed their visit to YCM. We closed the activity with some performences from different locations they will work in Indonesia.
On Saturday 17th some tutors and elementary students had a trip to Jakarta for Kids Film Festival, sponsored by Die Brucke. The kids enjoyed the trip so much, as it was their first time to Jakarta. Even though the trip was hot & long, they were very excited and happy for this new experience!
On Wednesday 21st Desa Anak Anak visited us, from Cipanas. They came to learn and compare YCM teaching methods. They talked to our students and all the tutors. We hope they got valuable lessons from us to apply in their place and look forward to working more in partnership. See you again soon!
On Thursday 22nd to celebrate the Earth Day, International School of Bogor invited us to join their Earth Day activities. We sent some of our students to join, give small presentation, promote YCM and develop their networking skills.
On Monday 26th ten AYAD volunteers (from Australia) visited YCM. We did the same tour activity as with the VIDAs, but with different tracks and tasks. The AYADs enjoyed this activity very much, as did the students. In this visit, we were able to meet James our new tutor for our Film Community. We will see him again in May. WELCOME JAMES!!!
On 29th & 30th Mrs Putu and Ono went to a meeting in Jakarta with AusTraining. YCM is the only NGO from Bogor invited to that meeting so this is quite an achievement for us. They were able to interact with other organisations and government peoples, and represent our Yayasan at this level.
Lastly but very luckily, YCM will receive 10 computers donated from BCA (Bank Central Asia). We are very grateful and would like to say a big thank you to BCA for the donation! We will make sure to use it them good purposes, as we really need to expand our computer capacity.


Warmest Regards,
