The idea for this project started in the garage of one of our founder, who, during the last three years provided soup , rice, fruit, juice and milk to approximatelly 30 of the local children. Bahasa English was also taught once a week to the same children and some adults. Due to the recent economic crisis in Jakarta on September 20, 1999, we began serving soup and rice to approximatelly 150 children in village. Additionally, approximately 50 children 5 and under and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers receive a cup of milk. This presently provided 3 days a week. KAMPUNG KIDS was legally formed in November 1999.
I first volunteered for the Kampung Kids project in March 2010, I was scared at first that I wouldn't be of much help to these kids because believe it or not I was a terrible English student.
Some children showing their talent in drawing and coloring as well, we encourage these children to grow this talent by giving some crayons, pencils and papers for them to draw at home.
It has been an amazing experience to watch these children learn and become more sociable with the other kids in the class. It is also helping my Bahasa and karaoke skills!
Ayu Prihatin, 3rd grade said: "I am so happy with this feeding program. I used to go to school with an empty stomach as I didn't have food to eat in the morning. So it was hard for me to concentrate on my study. But since Kampung Kids started the feeding program in this school, I study better and get better grades."
"My parents are very poor; however I was really eager to go to school like my friends. Fortunately Kampung Kids helped me with my study costs and it was really a big help for me and my parents. I would never have been able to finish even elementary school without financial help, I am so thankful to my sponsors who are sponsoring my study."
We both moved to Jakarta in the summer of 2011 and became friends hereafter, but while our husbands had working contracts prior to the move, neither of us was able to find work after we had arrived in Indonesia.
As the saying goes, "Give a family a fish, you feed them for a day; teach a family to fish and they'll have food for a lifetime." When it comes to helping those in need we have always adhered to this motto which is why we full-heartedly supported scholarship programs. By providing school scholarships to needy students, Kampung Kids "teaches" about 900 children each year.
On 1 november 2000 after having worked for 30 years in one of the biggest rail construction companies, ing. Joop Nahuijsen started Ing. Rail B.V. in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.
