Belajar Bersama Sjors
This post is dedicated to the foundation that affected me on certain level of my empathy. At first I felt a bit cynical about people and who suddenly want to do some volunteering for the sake of scholarship acceptance / requirement that’s also okay :), but hey . Frankly speaking, I wanted to do an activity to fill my weekends in Jakarta and I found this through Indorelawan.org which offers lots of volunteering organization to be part with, within Indonesia coverage. So I joined BBS on February 2016.
I adore that this organization is established by two people (Jenny Tjoa and Georges Hilaul) with aim to help under-privileged and less fortunate kids. As quote from the website : www.supportsjors.nl “We want to give them a little push towards a better future, because that’s often all they need, a little nudge in the right direction! With the right guidance, safe environment, a chance to relax, good education and above all, inspiration, these kids will go further than they could ever dream of.” There is tons of organization out there I know, but Sjors has the combination of 8 tools in order to fulfill the child’s well being such as Education, Inspiration, Healthcare, Sports, Creative and Music, Celebration, Recreation and Super Mom.
Every Sunday below Jembatan Pluit, North Jakarta, all volunteers gather and get briefed for that particular week’s subject by the main team of the organization. So, joining every week means different subject to teach which equals more fun! However you get the subject’s brief a week before getting volunteered. Now BBS is growing bigger and is a prt of an umbrella organization called www.inspirationfactory.org
To end, “The reality that all lives are interconnected and interdependent has become ever-more apparent to most people.” Check www.indorelawan.org where many organizations are open to volunteers – at any time of the year. Also, I am lucky that my sister, friends and boyfriend got to join this too teehee!
