; "Click to see real size") Bogor – As many as 350 Sampoerna Foundation high school through university level scholarship recipients grouped under the Sampoerna Foundation Scholars Club (SFSC) carried out a social-welfare drive called “Bedah Sekolah” (Operating on a School) at SDN Pasir Bagade Elementary School in the 03/07 Neighborhood/Community Unit of Kampung Pasir in Nagrak Village, Sukaraja District, Bogor Regency (07/21). This charitable activity by Sampoerna Foundation scholarship recipients from throughout Indonesia involved the repair of the school building and a “fun-learning” presentation to motivate the Bagade grade school children to take care of their school facilities and to instill in their minds a greater awareness of the importance of keeping things clean.
The Pasir Bagade Elementary School has only 3 classrooms that have to be divided off by screens in order to accommodate the 148 students studying in the first to sixth grades. These conditions motivated the scholarship recipients to undertake the “operation” on the school. ”Based on the survey we did, we repaired the classrooms, two toilets, and a storeroom, as well as paving the assembly field, and providing furniture for the classrooms, and also planting trees. We also made an effort to empower the grade-school children themselves to continue to keep their school clean and in good repair,” said Badruzzaman Lutfi, President of the Sampoerna Foundation Scholars Club of Jakarta, who chaired the committee for this social-welfare activity.
The Sampoerna Foundation Annual Gathering is an annual event organized by SF to bring all of its scholarship recipients and alumni scattered throughout Indonesia and the world together. For 2007 this gathering carried the theme ”We Are The Future” and took place in the Gunung Guelis Adventure Camp (GGAC), where the participants shared their experiences and undertook social welfare activities together. This year, the SFSC of Jakarta once again hosted the event after previous years in which SFSC Yogyakarta, SFSC Bandung and SFSC Surabaya took their turns at hosting it. |
