End of School Year & Holiday Activities

Helping decorate kindergarten class

In June, XSProject had a few activities arranged for the children including some holiday activities. It was the end of their 2020 – 2021 school year so the children received their report cards. Despite the challenging times and limited learning conditions like distance learning, having no internet access, inadequate facilities, etc they managed to graduate and progressed to the next level. They are very eager to continue their studies for the next term.

Despite the pandemic, we still had holiday activities by following health protocols and limiting the number of children. Some of the activities we did with them were playing games, learning mathematics in a fun way, and asking them to help decorate the early childhood education program class.

In addition to these activities, we also had the opportunity to give them healthy snacks and meals, as this will help them to provide healthy nutrition during the pandemic.

The children started to prepare for their new academic year 2021 – 2022 which is scheduled next week by having to attend classes a few days a week. But since the current reality in Indonesia is that COVID is on the rise and getting worse, face to face interaction in schools has been stopped again until late July. This has not discouraged the children as they are still enthusiastic to get an education.

Hopefully, the situation in Indonesia will improve so the children can go to school again.

We thank you very much for the support and care for our project in this difficult times.

Fun activities during hard times

By Retno Hapsari | General Manager

In March, XSProject had a productive month as school started for the children. They also received various donations in terms of toys and staple food commodities. Based on the facilities provided by XSProject, we prepared some fun activities like scavenger hunt, played various games, and organised a library club activity with Jakarta International School (JIS) students. Whilst continuing to follow strict protocols and maintaining their health, considering the current situation, we wanted them to still be able to learn through other educational activities and play outdoors.

The Jakarta International School (JIS) offers a collaboration where their High School students create various programs and extra-curricular activities. The school can collaborate with other non-profit organisations under the umbrella JIS cares (JIS Peduli). A few examples of their activities are Library, Garden Club and ‘take a bow drama’. XSProject children participated in all the three activities.

The first one was at the XSLibrary where the kids interacted with the JIS students online by doing an activity given by them. On normal circumstances, the JIS students would come and read books or play different games with the children. The second one was the Garden Club activity where the JIS students come and plant trees in our facility. The third activity was ‘take a bow’ drama club. Due to the pandemic, the JIS students created a website with skits/games using videos and sent it to us for us to practice and play with the children.

The main idea is to provide activities that will keep the children busy and happy but also have some activities that will make them mobile so they are not only sitting in one place. Overall, it was an enjoyable set of activities that enliven the spirits of the children by allowing them to interact with JIS students in a new way.

Our continuous efforts to keep things moving allows us and the children to feel positive and motivated.

We thank you, our customers and community for their support and dedication to our project.
