Last week I volunteered to help YUMIndonesia's for their kids' activities at Desa YUM Cipanas.
I helped them to do some art & craft activities and yoga session for Kids Day there. They were having these activities for 2 two days,
since the kids were all still on holiday.
Let me tell you a little story about YUMIndonesia firts, before I share the story about the kids' activities. So my friend Echa works at YUMIndonesia with her mom too. Desa YUM Cipanas is one of YUMIndonesia's projects and it's my first time going there. Desa YUM Cipanas used to be an orphanage but now transformed into a community center.
So yes, that's a little story about YUMIndonesia. I spent 2 days 2 night there last week with 7 YUM's lovely ladies:
Echa, Aris, Erna, Siska, Ibu Nori and Ibu Nani :) I like the place...need to say more? :) It's nice, simple and homey. It's a place where you can bring your kids too.
Pak Samsul, Kang Oleh and the rest of the people there were very nice too! 1st night there, got there around 8pm...had dinner and went to sleep.
I'll tell you more about Kids Day ( day 1 & day 2 ) on my next post :)
PS: more pics here.
Many children there drop out of
school because their parents are unable to pay monthly school fees or thetransport to school or to buy neccessary school books and
stationary. If you want to help them you can contact YUMIndonesia's office.
Desa YUM Cipanas got this nice library too, open for kids around that place. You also can donate books for them :)
They also have this Vocational Training Centre, where the youth of surroundings villages get to learn english, sewing, computer for free. And also job seeking skills.
And at Desa YUM Cipanas, you can learn about organic farming too, mostly about how to harvest, clean it, get your hands dirty. They have a nice organic farm with pretty green houses. They harvested some herbs, carrots, beetroots, tomatoes, salads, etc. Got my self some veggies only for Rp.55.000,-...if you want some, check more info at YUMIndonesia's office, they can deliver it to your house.
