YCM'S NEWS JUNE 2010
Written by Miss. Bella and Miss. Jen.

Dear Friends and YCM Supporters,

         On the first day of June the tutors and 30 students visited Desa Anak Anak (DAA) at Cipanas, Bogor (about 2hours away). DAA is a non-for-profit organization that provides services, alternative education, vocational training, organic farming projects and more for poor youth.It is sponsored by a variety of local, national and international donors. We link with them regularly for activities, as we have a very similar structure and projects.
Their location is beautiful in the mountains, surrounded by green fields and lots of space. The people are so friendly, but YCM students noticed the difference in the atmosphere and shy students which were not yet as lively and confidence as us, so we hope to be positive role models for those students and encourage them to build their confidence.
