Give An Education To A Trash Picker's Child

Due to the second wave of Covid-19 that hit Indonesia, the government has imposed Emergency Public Activity Restriction since July. Thus, the plan to open some schools in July was halted. However, in September some Early Childhood Education and Development  schools have started 2 times a week. Primary and Secondary schools have also slowly opened with a restricted schedule from 7:30 am – 10:30 am.

XSProject continues to provide activities for the children like painting and sports to entertain them. During July - August XSProject provided the children the space and resources to facilitate their online learning. We provided a mentor to assist the students with their online classes and homework. We noticed a significant change in the children’s development as they have gone through some tough challenges due to the online education. Some Primary school students are unable to complete their homework correctly as they are unable to understand the instructions clearly. The problem is that these children are only able to communicate with their teachers with mobile phones.  We provide them with mobile phone credits to ease their communication with their teacher. Apart from these facilities we are also monitoring their classes to ensure everything is smooth.

In addition to these activities, we also had the opportunity to give them healthy snacks and meals, providing healthy nutrition during the pandemic. Parents are also involved in preparing the healthy meals so the children feel happy.

Both parents and the children were happy and felt relieved due to support from XSProject. We continue to plan better facilities for them like installing computers so the children can study more efficiently.

We hope we can continue to enhance the activities for the children whilst also hoping the situation will improve soon.

We thank you, our donors and community for the support and dedication to our project
