Grant Success for 2015 HIV/AIDS Program

We are elated to bring you the news that we have been successful in receiving a grant for our life saving HIV/AIDS education program in 2015 from the Mel Wolf Foundation. We’ve reached over 5,000 children with this program so far, and there will be many more in 2015!

Story Time!

Our first ever story time took place at our new pre school library. Although not officially open, we couldn’t resist showing the kids the new school and reading them a story or two. Stories are the favourite part of the day for many students!

Workshops for Teachers

We held a teachers workshop to help hone teaching skills. Teachers are a huge influence on the lives of students, so we are always striving to increase standards. We were joined by teachers from 4 kindergartens and pre schools.

Opy’s Award

We are immensely proud of our very own Opy Sulaeman, who manages our HIV & Sex Education Program. Opy was volunteering out of hours by presenting at Yayasan Generasi Bisa Indonesia’s World AIDS Day, but little did she know she was about to also win an award in the ‘Leadership’ category!
