The Student Sponsorship Program Team has started the process of visiting all the schools in the program to see that our students are in school and also to add new ones who have started this year.  We also take photos of everyone so that our sponsors can see how their students have developed since the last school year.  

Our first visit today was to SD MKGR, a small Elementary School originally founded to educate the children of people from the local flower market in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta.

It takes three of us to get the children in line and snap the photos (one recording the order on a master sheet, one to hold the backdrop, and one to wield the camera) which we will use for profiles and reports, plus the new ones for our annual Christmas Appeal (coming soon!).

Every child received a yummy Tim Tam for their trouble, so we proved very popular this morning!

Sponsors and any interested ANZA members who would like to join us on one of our visits are always welcome (though be prepared for early starts and traffic!), upcoming dates are:

• 30 Sep - SD At Taqwa, Cakung, East Jakarta
• 1 Oct - SMK PGRI 35, Cengkareng, North West Jakarta
• 9 Oct - University & College Students visit ANZA House for pizza lunch
