Activity Day: September 20th, 2024 Students of JIKS partook in various sporting events with the goal of raising donations for the annual 'Charity Activity Day'. For 40 minutes, the students had fun participating in sports and activities such as badminton, basketball, soccer, skipping, walking and cornhole. Upon completion of their chosen activity, the students were given donations from their sponsors for the effort they gave. The students and parents of JIKS donated a total of 25 million rupiah. Once the donations were collected, items from a wish list were purchased to donate to 'Sahabat Anak'; an organization that helps and provides education for disadvantaged youth in the region. Food items, stationary, craft items, several desktop computers, and even 3D pens were all given to the organization from the generous JIKS community. Sahabat Anak: December 23rd, 2024 Class leaders from grades 5 and 6, along with Vice Principal Mun, and teachers, made the journey to Manggarai in order to bring the two truckloads of goods to the 'Sahabat Anak' center. Once the items were unloaded, the children of 'Sahabat Anak' and JIKS spent time together, and the kids sang several beautiful songs conveying their gratitude. It was a fantastic day that everyone enjoyed. In the end, the students of JIKS learned the value of helping those which are less fortunate than themselves and had fun while doing so. Thank you to all of the parents for their very kind and thoughtful generosity, the students for their effort, and to the staff of JIKS for their hard work.
