All of us at XSProject Indonesia would like to express our gratitude and a BIG THANK YOU to the GlobalGiving community for your support of our programs in 2019. Generous and thoughtful donors have contributed to our social programs
Through the support of GlobalGiving community and many generous donations, our children quality have improved significantly; mentally, physically and intellectually. To maintain this quality, the children need a better, cleaner and greener palace to continue to grow and to learn.
We found a place nearby the current trash picker location and we have started the development since the beginning of the year. We still have few more units to build, so we invite everybody to be part of the children journey in this new place
The new site will have a community centre, library and health centre for the children, as well as a small office and workshop for XSProject.
It will also be a place for the children to learn and to explore not only inside the room but also outside. We hope to invite more children from the surrounding area, so they too can get the benefit of our new location
At the beginning of the new school year of 2019-2020, XSProject has addtional 3 new students now attending college. Coming from many generations of trash pickers, attending college seemed like an impossible dream. But now their hopes have now been fulfilled. Their desires to further their education, despite all the difficulties they are facing, inspires other younger children at the community that they too can now have the chance to dream big.
We are very proud to see Sari our first College Graduate from XSProject-XSEducation Scholarship Program for the Cirendeu trashpickers dump site under the care of XSProject. Sari has showing the path and given ways to other students to higher and better education considering their circumstance. Sari proud parents still cannot believe to be at the graduation ceremony.
Your donation to XSProject through GlobalGiving has a direct impact on making this happen. XSProject helps the children to aim to have a better life not just for themselves but also for their parents. Showing and providing more opportunities and new experiences outside the world they are living in will give more reasons to work hard in school and to be hungry for more knowledge.
We hope you will continue to support our work in the trash picker community. You are making the difference for them.
We are very grateful and we thank you all so much.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2020 from all of us at XSProject in Jakarta, Indonesia.
