Project: we help children to continue the school in Kauditan

Over the years, with the Sunflower Association, we have tried to respond to the many needs of poor people in North Sulawesi in Indonesia and especially children and young people, thanks to distance adoptions and people who have helped us to build a small school and a social fish cooperative.

In a Kauditan's school

The commitment of the Sunflower Association is to stay close to children who decide not to continue the school Second Elementary of Kauditan.

Now our energies are in the family home, which today accommodates 5 children, Debora 11 months, Tasya 12 years, Saprin 12, Frola 14 years old, 9 years .

Day of Smiles for poor children

We would like to arrange to December 12, 2016 an unforgettable day, remembering the first year of the foundation of the free school of small, Paud Bunga Matahari in Airmadidi.

Children are our most precious treasure

If Providence us a hand the idea is to make a lunch with 300 people, 100 of whom are our school children, with competitions for all children.

I thought to football games, to the drawings and in the parade with costumes.

The day we want to start at 8:00 am with the transport bus at all with lots of green that you can see in the video that I put on You Tube.

This day we spend in the Paniki Sports Park, five minutes from Manado.

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of these children, who receive aid through distance adoption, and was expected to make a savings account that can be withdrawn from the boys when they turn 18 years old.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