New library for poor villagers

New library for poor villagers

JAKARTA: Children from Cinamprak village, Mauk district,
Tangerang, will soon be able to read good books when SD Inpres
Setia Bakti elementary school opens its new library next month.

The RCTI-Hoka Hoka Bento Reading House, a modest room
measuring 16 square meters, cost Rp 25 million, including for the
books.

The money was given by the Yayasan Cahaya Hati Bangsa
foundation to school principal Yaya S last week.

SD Inpres Setia Bakti, the only school in the poor fishing
village with 1,262 families, is in a state of extreme disrepair.
Only three of its rooms can be used and its three teachers,
including Yaya, are paid just Rp 70,000 per month. --JP
