Temporary school project called Sekolah Ceria

We continued our tour by visiting a camp served as temporary classroom for elementary school children in Bantul. Their school was completely destroyed. It will take months before they can use their classrooms. A psychologist from Dompet Dhuafa is conducting psychosocial interventions toward the children to help treat them recover from trauma. They play, sang and learn together. The students are provided lunch everyday. This program called Sekolah Ceria is supported by college students served as volunteers. (Dompet Dhuafa has a separate scholarship program for college students. These students were coordinated as volunteers to help assist these temporary classrooms.) There are 12 tent classes conducted simultaneously all over Jogjakarta.

Hope 4 Our Children provides some of its funds to support the implementation of one temporary class in Bantul area.
