Distance adoption and savings account for the future of poor children

Some donors have talked to me about the future of these children, who receive aid through distance adoption, and was expected to make a savings account that can be withdrawn from the boys when they turn 18 years old.

The savings book for the future

 To do this we thought of a regulation, to be signed to the parents, to ensure that the money that are given are really important for the future of the child, in addition to thinking for the present with the necessary (milk, rice, clothes, school supplies ).

These are the rules that will be signed by the parents who bring a copy of the identity card and a stamp duty of Rp. 6000.

1. The savings book looks at the future of child living in economically weak and disadvantaged families. 

2. This money comes from donors who work with Sunflower Association and support these guys, not only in the present, but with an eye to the future.

3. The purpose of the savings book thinking about the future is to help child/student to a better future fulfilling some of their little dream and encouraging them to go to school and to do their best.

4. Each month you receive Rp in the booklet. 50.000.- (fifty thousand rupees) until they reach the age of 18. 5.

For all student/child who will be the first class, will receive a bonus of Rp. 100.000.- (one hundred thousand rupees) per month.

6. Child must have the following requirements:

a. weak / economically disadvantaged.

b. Aged 1-18 years

c. Well behaved and diligent at school.

d. Respectful to the donors and the comrades.

7. Sunflower Association continues to monitor the child/student who receive this savings book for the future.

8. This savings book is locked if the following problems arise:

a. School drop or non-regular basis of the school (represented by the school)

b. Parents no longer want your child be part of this program.

c. The parents, siblings or child themselves create problems to the association or to donors.

d. I helped child make problems in a village.

e. The child have been reported missing by the government through a letter.

f. The baby was pronounced dead by the government through a letter.

g. The child and family don't want to be monitored by Sunflower Association.

h. Don't respect the donor visits.

At the age of eighteen years the child will receive the money along with their parents and in the absence thereof to a relative.

This certificate is created and approved by the parents of the child helped/student and come to the aid of a person who has decided to take charge of him through the adoption program at a distance and savings book for the future.

Find the time to be happy

In Indonesia I found the taste of love and rediscovered the word happiness.

Child in Indonesia

People have more and more need to be loved, because there is allontando from each other and no one has time to stop and enjoy the simple everyday gestures that start at caresses, kisses and sincere greetings.

Being among these people gave me a chance to catch these little habits and then resume the taste of love and to live as long as the most precious gift.

Children in the world

Jessica: I have a dreams

Today I had a dreams I want in the world:

No child is sad,

no children weep,

no child goes hungry.

No child is abused,

no child is abandoned,

no child is exploited,

no child is discriminated against,

that all children are loved and protected.

It 's just a dreams?

No, it is a hope and want to be able to realize at the earliest.

The children are all of artists

The children are all of artists

It's nice to see, being with children and immerse themselves in their world, discover why so many things that you need every day to live happy then.

In fact, all children are artists, the hard part is to remain so when you grow up.

Children and nature are the jewels of life is for us to keep it that way and give them their proper value and that's why it is a pleasure to work with them because they push you to the simplicity and naturalness.

A child can not make it sit too long in a certain way or do things you do not like them because it is capable with a few words to tell you how to really think.

Learning to listen to children

Learning to listen to children

Listening is a delicate, much more difficult than it might seem.

It's already delicate if it relates to another who speaks the same language, using our conventions and our categories.

Becomes difficult with an "other" who speaks another language and adopt thought patterns different from ours and this is the case, listening to a child by the adult.

Communicating with a child is much more difficult than it might seem.

Good intentions are not enough.

Indeed, we could say little provocatively that good intentions are not enough, but not only, at times, are not required.

The actual communication with the child is a communication between two parties instinctive, so it is not mediated by intentions.

I can be in front of a child and have no intention to be interested in his problems, I can be distracted by other thoughts, but if that child has of himself hidden signs of an experience that somehow reminds of my childhood, I acknowledge those signs, even without being aware of it and will stay upset, even without being able to understand what troubled me.

The Authentic listening requires above all that those who want to know how to listen first listen to himself, recognizing their emotional universe and conflicts that the helping relationship with children can turn into him.

Can we really listen to a child , understand his needs, being able to keep in our minds his suffering, only if we make a challenging path of personal growth and we have agreed to face the child that we were.

Only by acknowledging our emotions and our suffering we can really put ourselves in the game and to have an authentic relationship with the children we meet.

Educate

I leave you a few sentences that speak of the issue of education:

Educate is not what the teacher gives, but is a natural process that takes place spontaneously in the human, it is not acquired by listening to words, but by virtue of the experiences made in the environment.
The task of the teacher is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives of cultural activity in a specially prepared environment.
(M. Montessori)
We often speak of the influence of the example, but we forget that we give an example to the children all the time and not only when we intend to do.
(S. Isaacs)
To raise a child it takes a whole village.
(Indonesian proverb)
The great wrong of educators is that young people will like what they like to old age or maturity; youth that life does not differ from mature, you want to abolish the difference of tastes and desires, that he wants the teachings, commands and the force of necessity, suppliscano experience.
(G. Leopardi)
The school should make good use of these sentences.

Educate

Realise your dreams

I'm convinced that every child entrusted to us in the school must find people who are attentive to its growth and educate him in a positive way making him understand that in life you should never lose hope, you should never stop believing and above: never stop dreaming and trying to achieve their dreams.

Realise your dreams

The smiles of children

The kindergarten children

Getting lost in the smile of a child who has nothing else to offer, you realize that's all you need!
And it is precisely that smile, and that I was given for free, that makes you say, what can I do for you?
And the school becomes a place where vital to give the right answers and grow that smile, helping him not to go out, giving him the power of knowledge.

Children are the future of the world

The children do not know the distances, if they love they do it with your heart and if they fight only lasts a few minutes, because children understand the meaning of friendship and respect him more than adults.
We make sure that everyone can have a chance to study and continue as adults to build a world that respects, loves and knows how to give.

School is important for every child
