U.S. gives milk to elementary students

JAKARTA: U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia Ralph L. Boyce
celebrated the World School Milk Day with students and teachers
of state-run Gondangdia Elementary School in Menteng, Central
Jakarta on Tuesday.

After donating 168 packs of milk, Boyce talked to the
students, who mostly come from poor families, on the importance
of drinking milk.

The students were among 550,000 elementary students across the
country who received milk under the Milk for School Health
Efforts (UKS) program, this year.

Boyce said his government had agreed to provide US$15 million
annually to support education in private and public schools in
Indonesia. -- JP
