IIWC-MTV1003/Batu Slump Area Project/Batu Village Demak Regency/Kid, Edu/Any date except Aug-Sept/18+/2vols
Batu village is a small village in Karang Tengah Municipality Demak Regency, in the side of the famous North Java main land road. This small village is famous around the neighboring villages and areas because of the fact that 80% out of the 600 villagers, every Friday, will go to the street or mosques for begging money from the Friday pilgrimage people. To get more money, they will take their children with them because people will tend give money (or more money) to the children rather than to adults.
This attitude of taking the children to beg for money becomes a problem when the children have to leave school every Friday. Furthermore, most children will prefer to go to street to beg to get money that they can easily spend rather than staying at school. As the result, the number of drop out children from school is quite high.
Based on this condition, one of local NGOs working for the street children initiated an education project for the children by providing additional lesson in the afternoon for Math and English so that the children could get better mark and understanding of the subjects at school. It is expected that if the children get better mark and understanding at school then they and their parents will be proud of their work and the parents will not take them to the street for begging money anymore.
Unfortunately, last year, there as no more funding available for this additional activity. Thus, the local NGO could not continue the project.
The fact that IIWC have been working together with this local NGO in the same venue for work camp and that the work camp brought positive impact in engaging the children in the study atmosphere and creating interesting activities for the children that positively reduce the chance and desire from parents to take the children to the street, IIWC sees it as an opportunity to do further intervention for their education purposes because it is very important to keep the children at school.
Aims of this project are to reduce the time spent on the street to earn money (or the chance that the children will be taken to the street by their parents to the street) and to motivate the children to focus more to their school, to give different perspective to the parents about education and the future of the children, to create community based activity for the children and the community bring about the education issue.
Work: the volunteers will be assigned for: Organizing additional English class for street children (or children with high risk to be street children) in slump area of Batu Village in the afternoon as one of the strategies to reduce the time spent on the street for earning money and supporting their obligatory subject at school, Organizing leisure activities for the children on free times or public holidays emphasizing active participation of the children and promotion of children rights, Organizing skill development program for the children as one of the alternatives strategies to empower the children for the future way of income generating activities and Personal and public hygiene education for the children due to the fact that the children are living in a slum area with poor hygienic condition.
