We are having a few girls from Holland coming to do voluntary work, they are very enthousiastis and have their heads full of plans!

We saw you were busy with the outside playground. On the pictures of your second anniversary we saw that the walls are grey and there is no bamboo yet. You also said that you were looking for toys to play outside. We are wondering if you already have plans for the playground. We would like to create a nice playground for the children. For example with nice wall paintings, bamboo and different toys. We would like to know what’s your opinion about this. If you like this idea, maybe you could send us some pictures of the playground or could you describe it. We also want to know how big it is. What kind of toys do you already have?
We hope to hear from you soon!
Kind regards,
Lian, Susan, Ellen.

We will let you know what has happend with all their ideas!

Ritu comes in often and always has something to share! She delivers the drinking water, gets book, pensils and other small thing we need, which at the end come to a big pile of things! Thank you Ritu for being so generous for the shelter!

yes we already exist 2 years!! And we have the same kids coming for already a long period. We are very happy with this as we can follow them and give them a good base and a real start in life.

To celebrate our anniversary the kids went to the museum. A place they have never been to before. It was an amazing day, with of course some nice food at the end. Great to be outside their ‘kampung’ and in a new world!

Thanks for everyone organizing this event!

After following a study in Jakarta for a few months, now ratna is back, and teaching English! The kids are very happy to see her, and so are we! It is good to have such a responsible perons on board! Welcome back ratna!

Marry, our Spanish volunteer and Ritu have been busy with the cooking lessons in March, they both love cooking. And so did the kids! They love making tasty, healthy food. It is great to do something which is a success! We believe that is 1 of the main goals of Indoshelter, building self esteem, and building a future with opportunities for these children!

Alice has arranged a carpenter to hang up the basketball- and badminton nett. It looks great, and the kids love to play the sports in a safe enviroment. Without moterbikes in the street, they can play without being disturbed!

The computer has been udated, the memory card is ok now (this was broken) the power supply has been orderd and has now arrived in the shelter, so we can start with the computer lessons! The kids and teachers are very happy! It is an absolute advatage for these children to work with a computer, it will make their chances in the modern life much bigger!

Many thanks to VIJI and RITu for your time, your attention, your kindness, your help. They came today for donations and to do hands-on work for the shelter!

Ritu plays with kids and teaches english. KThe kds are very happy with her. Viji is going to do voluntary work, once or twice a week, will be helping to give attention to the kids in the playgroup-morning class. As we have many pople participating in the afternoon class; Marry, Ade, and of course Keiko (english) and Tanti (music-cooking) it is perfect for Viji to join in the morning class. She will also be involved in finding the creativity material for the playgroups. As we have a monthly theme and events scheduled. As exsample next month the theme is ‘ people’ .

Kate, our new volunteer, is helping to start up the immunisation program and organized a seminar. It was a day for the mothers and the older children which was very useful and quite new. The sexual education day was recieved well in the community, and we are happy to introduce these very importantthings. After more than a year active in this neighborhood we have accomplished the trust of the people to handle these sensitive and delicate subjects!
