Help Promote Good Reading Habits in Kalimantan

SATRIA

“My name is Satria, I am in the 6th grade. I have known YUM since I was in Kindergarten but I only started to become an active member of the Community Library since I was in 5th grade. YUM’s library is very different from the other library in any school and area here. In this library, we can play with various educational and creative toys. But before we start any activity, we have to read any book for 10 minutes. I love to read Science books, meanwhile my favorite activities are drawing, coloring and milk distribution.  At the end of this semester, I will face the National Final Exams that all 6th graders in Indonesia have to do so that we can continue our studies to the Secondary school. I will be in the library more often to study and read more to prepare for the examination. Thanks YUM!”

YOVANCA

“I am Yovanca and now in 6th grade. My mother drives me to the Library by motorcycle because the distance from my house to the library is quite far. I like to participate in every library activities, such as English Club, Computer  Club, Dance Club and many others. I love reading fairy tale stories and kids magazines. I wish by reading more, I can become smarter.”

YUM’s community library in Kalimantan has been the second home for many children in Bukit Batu, Palangkaraya.  Therefore it is essential for us to keep the reading materials updated, create educational and creative activities and facilitate these activities with qualified tutors.  Through your generous support through GlobalGiving, more and more children like Satria and Yovanca will benefit the library. Thank you!
