The celebration of Kartini day at Elbow Room (Kemang Raya) brought different ambience as 21 gorgeous ladies stand hand in hand to raise funds to support Books for Hope.

Olga Lydia,Books for Hope’s Reading Ambassador, initiated this fund raising event. The event went well and the customers of Elbow Room are excited to know more about Books for Hope and how to participate.

These ladies really showed the Kartini spirit within. The funds raised will surely help to change the life of the children across Indonesia through books.

So,for all the women out there,let’s show the Kartini spirit and help making this world a better place to live.

More and more people get involved in Books for Hope. Even the kindergarten children from Hope for Kids-Pre school joined hand in hand to be involved to help their friends in less fortunate areas.

Hope for Kids is located in Pantai Indah Kapuk,North Jakarta. The founder -Jenti Martono and the head master – ‎​Luciana Maitimoe together with all the creative and energetic teachers conduct an event on February 13,2010 to celebrate Chinese New Year and Valentine’s day.

In the event, Mrs. Jenti as the founder of Hope for Kids donate some funds and books to Books for Hope.

Thanks to all the dedicated teachers and the lovely children of Hope for Kids in supporting Books for Hope delivers greater good to others.

Books for Hope, Lydia, jessy, olga lydia, and 2 reporters (from gatra and MNC) just got back from komodo village in komodo island (flores). We support the village there by donating 350books.

There are around 450children in the village, age from elementary to junior high. They have a proper school building only up to junior high. Those who want to continue to senior hig, have to go to the other island.

To build the library in komodo village, we work together w/ the kepala desa (pak adam). The space for the library is located below pak ridwan’s house (the houses in the village is rumah panggung, so we use the ‘kolong’ as library). The bookshelves are prepared by the community with the support of Taman Bacaan Pelangi.

When we arrived at the village, the children were lining up to welcome us with their ‘komodo’ theme song. So interesting. They even have a ‘manta ray’ mascot dancing during the songs.

We held WEW as usual. There were around 80 children attending the workshop.

Olga Lydia has been very helpful in arranging this visit and in getting the media coverage. So the promotion will be from the tourism side komodo island and books for hope is mentioned as well.
the media coverage,will come from more media, coz olga arranged press conf yesterday.
