The Story Begin

Hi, this is Indri who trying to make a blog about Gunungsari work camp. A crazy but meaningfull work camp for me, may be also for another participants ^.^

Gunungsari work camp ( WC ) was held in February 1st 2007 until February 14th, 2007. Two weeks we lived in Mr. Teguh's house and had so many activity there. There were 7 participants. Taku Ishizuki & Mai Nakazawa from Japan, Moon Jae Yun, Kim So Hee, and Seol Seung Hwan from Korea, Indri Hapsari Putri & Darmawati Ayu Indraswari from medical students, oops sorry... I mean from Indonesia :P And we also got help from Yeny Kusuma Wardhani, one of active member of IIWC ( Indonesia International Work Camp ).

Our main programme is to help the "street children". Yeah, we concern about street children, especially in Gunungsari, one of poor area in Semarang city, Central Java, Indonesia. We didn't give money or material to them. But we delivered our knowledge, sharing experience, and also gave them some new knowledge about another country ( cultural exchange ).

Our ideal is, there are street children no more in Semarang. But it's too far to reach T_T So, we shrunk our purpose in this work camp just to prevent the children in Gunungsari to become street children.
