Give An Education To A Trash Picker's Child

Our purpose to motivate and encourage the trash picker’s and other less fortunate children to aim for higher education continue since we started this project with GlobalGiving community 9 years ago. Coming to our year 10, we would like to start sharing with you the story of some of the children that have been with us since they were in Primary or  MS until today they are in College.

Laila is one of our College Students. She is studying at one of the Universities in Jakarta, specializing in teaching education. She said, ‘now adays less and less young people are interested in teaching and I have been wanting to become one”

Laila came to XSProject when she was almost quit her last year of MS because her father could not afford to pay her school expenses. ‘I could not participate in school exams, but when XSProject helped pay my schools expenses, I passed the exams with good grades. I was able to continue my study through HS and now I am in College’

My parents inspire me to continue my education while I have the opportunity and the support from XSProject. My father has to work hard to provide for his family. With only Primary education, it is hard for him to get a good and steady job, especially when my mother passed away when I was in MS. I want to prove to my father and fulfill my late mother wish for me to have much higher education than them.

Being a university student, I want to earn more skill and knowledge beyond the classes. I join campus activities, such as teaching workshop, students leadership workshops, etc.

Recently I received the news from the University that I am one of the University scholarship recipients for 2 years. I hope to be able to graduate by that time. I am very happy because I can proof to my father and XSProject that I can do better because of the support.

I thank you very much for GlobalGiving donors for the continuous support through XSProject.
