Expats renovate Bogor schools

BOGOR: The Menteng Rotary Club Jakarta and expatriate families
living in Bogor have helped renew five elementary schools in
Cijeruk, Bogor.

"We still need more donations to renovate other schools in
Bogor," project coordinator Herdiana Kiehl told The Jakarta Post
during the weekend at a ceremony to hand over the keys of the
completed buildings to the schools' management.

Kiehl said there were about 1,200 school buildings in Bogor in
dilapidated condition. Some schools in the area remained
unfurnished, with the students having to study on the floor, she
said,
