<h3><strong>What is the Joy of Children?</strong></h3>

<p>The Joy of Children is an event intended to encourage underprivileged and street children in Jakarta to learn English. A Non-Profit Project, the Joy of Children, provides a chance for children from some of the most marginalized areas of Jakarta to practice English, gathering children from YCAB, Sahabat Anak, Green Indonesia Foundation, Yayasan Atmabrata Cilincing, and Rumah Singgah Bina Anak Pertiwi. The Joy of Children involves several English competitions such as public speaking, vocabulary games, and a spelling bee.Volunteers will also introduce the children to Yudi Lesmana, International Grandmaster of Memory, who will teach the children how to memorize dozens of English words in just five minutes.</p>

<h3><strong>Why create the Joy of Children?</strong></h3>

<p>The reason why we want to create The Joy of Children is because we remind ourselves as Indonesian kids at the time when many of us were not able to speak English confidentially.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>How can I help these underprivileged children in the Joy of Children?</strong></h3>

<p>This event&rsquo;s date is almost close and we have successfully secured support from several companies such as Blue Bird, Tokopedia, Aqua, Sari Roti, KPG Gramedia, Mangrove Printing, Loony Store and Good Friday Cinematography.</p>

<p>We&rsquo;re crowdfunding to provide us crucial funds to cover all the expenses for the event.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>What happens after the event?</strong></h3>

<p>The success of this year&rsquo;s event will pave the way for annual Joy of Children celebrations! <a name="150a3f0106db4aa8__GoBack"></a>We are creating Volunteer Match Program for English native speakers who want to teach English at one of the five street children communities. Secondly, there will be a handful of volunteer activities together over the next six months between American and Indonesian kids, such as playing basketball, eating breakfast and watching movies together.This is an intercultural interaction created to foster cultural exchange between local children and native English speakers.</p>

<h2>Rencana Penggunaan Dana</h2>

<p>The funds will be used for trophies, goodie bags, frames, covering the operating expenses, and capital for our next project.</p>
