JAKARTA (JP): No less than 120 elementary and junior high
school students will be offered scholarships for the current
school year from PT Sarinah, the oldest department store in the
country.

The store, known for its batik and handicrafts, is offering
the scholarships in commemoration of its 39th anniversary and the
country's 56th Independence Day anniversary, which concurrently
fall on Aug. 17.

Sarinah, established on Aug. 17, 1962, was one of the four
landmarks of the capital in the 1960s. It was built on the
initiative of the country's first president Sukarno. The other
three landmarks were Hotel Indonesia, Senayan Sports Complex --
now called Bung Karno Sports Complex -- and the National Monument
or Monas.
