 JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017

Message from
Board Chairperson
The Jakarta Intercultural School has a sixty five
year history of communiy service. In 2004,
JIS Peduli was created as a means of
coordinating and qualifying the effectiveness
of our services to the community.

Since JIS Peduli was reorganized in 2012, we have

contributed, financially and otherwise. The proposals
initiated by students and our service partners to
develop premaculture center, roof repair, plastic trash
awareness, relocation project, supporting trash picking
community and refugee learning center. JIS Peduli
has also supported the empowerment of women and
young people through skills training, career days and
improved learning opportunitie. JIS Peduli’s reputation
as a productive member of the international community
would not be possible without the support of the
many individuals and organizations who have joined
us and made generous donations. This special edition
of our annual report includes all of projects we have
supported since our reorganization. Your continued
support is key to the success of JIS Peduli and the
future initiatives of our students and service partners.

What is JIS Peduli
Strengthening our ties to Indonesia
through service
JIS Peduli is the school wide service
arm of JIS. It was the devastation
wrought by the tsunami of 2004
that provided the impetus for the
development of the organization. JIS
Peduli builds on all that is good about
JIS and acknowledges it’s 65 plus years
of giving.
Of particular interest is how we
support student-initiated projects and
Our Mission To strengthen our ties
to Indonesia through service
We Value
JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017
our service partners. We are interested
in funding “big ideas.” The intention is
that our support will help participants
to focus on the quality of the service
experience and less on fundraising
activities. We have developed an
application process whereby those
with ideas present them at our
quarterly board meetings. This annual
report is a reflection of the projects JIS
Peduli has supported.

 Yayasan Cahaya Terang
Tell us about the project that was
funded by JIS Peduli?
JIS Peduli funds were allocated to three
inter-related projects, in order to develop
an educational permaculture center.
The projects were designed
collaboratively with Yayasan Tri Hita
Karana Bali, who offer expert advice and
training on an ongoing basis.
There are three projects that were
successfully funded:
1. A rainwater harvesting system. With
support from JIS Peduli we were able
to build the first of a series of rainwater
harvesting systems. The finished
reservoir is both an essential part of
the permaculture center’s infrastructure
and a very valuable teaching tool.
The 35,000 liters reservoir allows us
to irrigate nearby crops and operate
sustainably.
16
2. Cow, pig and chicken “tractors”
The tractors we built are simply
enclosures that house animals
(usually black Balinese pigs, cows and
chickens). Each pen contains a different
animal. The animals are moved every
few days and other animals introduced
to the area vacated. As this process
is repeated each animal performs a
slightly different function (grazing,
rooting, eating insects, etc.) And leaves
behind their manure which results is
an organic topsoil rich in phosphates,
nitrates and other important nutrients.
JIS students were involved in building
these enclosures!
3. Creation of our first organic garden
beds. We installed a large area (almost
1 hectare) of raised organic garden
beds. These were planted out with
various organic crops such broccoli,
kale, moringa, tomatoes, etc. We
also built a simple nursery for seed
germination, established a bank of

organic seeds and started an heirloom
dry rice field. Again, JIS students were
involved in various parts of this process
including the planting of a dry rice field.
Did you achieve your goals?
Yes - absolutely!
What challenges did you face?
As is often the case with projects in the
“developing world,” we were not able to
stick to our timelines in quite the manner
we had originally envisioned. However,
all the projects were a success and were
completed prior to JIS grade 7 arriving,
which meant there was no disruption to
the planned service learning projects.
JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017
Do you have any plans for the future?
The installation of our rainwater
harvesting system has inspired us to
think about a very big picture idea - one
that could have major implications for
Bali. We want to design a “sustainable
subak” that draws on Bali’s world-
famous gravity fed water irrigation
technology and applies it to the whole
island - not just the irrigation of wet
rice fields. In short, we want to adapt
the roadside ditches that channel
water off road surfaces and into larger
drains and streams, etc, and turn them
into catchment systems that harvest
the rainwater. We are hoping that with
some support from JIS Peduli we can
go ahead and build our next rainwater
harvesting system without the use of
a roof and gutters - in other words by
simply better designing roadside ditches
to feed rainwater into reservoirs.
Please tell us about your experience with
the proposal and funding process.
How could we improve?
JIS Peduli were incredibly responsive
and generous. Making these kinds of
funds available is so important - we
would only request that the funding
opportunities be kept open for multiple
years so that we can continue to
grow together...
17
 Rawamangun Roof Project

Tell us about the project that was

funded by JIS Peduli?
Every Sunday afternoon Ibu Madrik
meets with an inter-faith group of
children from the local kampung on
the banks of the Ciliwung River. The
children participate in different activities
such as crafts, reading and singing. The
children also have a close relationship
with JIS- travelling to the JIS campus
every week to join in other activities,
such as cooking and science, with the
high school students. Occasionally the
JIS students are hosted by Ibu Madrik
and it was apparent that the old roof
covering the driveway –which was
essential during the rainy season- was
in a very poor state of repair.

18
 JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017

Did you achieve your goals?

The students took measurements and
designed a replacement. Some of the
challenges encountered were the need
to consider the regular flooding of the
whole area and how the new structure
would impact on the structural integrity
of the house. Eventually –thanks to

generous funding by JIS Peduli- the

structure was constructed and the
Rawamangun children and the visiting
JIS students, now have a dry and safe
learning environment.

19
 Bye Bye Plastic Bag

Tell us about the project that was funded

by JIS Peduli?
JIS Peduli provided funds to Bye Bye
Plastic Bags (BBPB) to help the group
spread the word about our initiatives
throughout JIS and parts of the local
community. The fund from JIS Peduli
was used to purchase Bye Bye Plastic
Bags t-shirts and bags which were sold
at the school-wide holiday bazaar in
November and to various students at
JIS High School. It was also used to
host students from other schools on a
Saturday. During this time, we worked
together to find ways to make a difference
in plastic consumption and plastic trash
on our campuses, as well as ways to
spread knowledge to local people and Did you achieve your goals?
businesses. We used the fund to purchase The initial goal set forth was to raise
cloth bags and markers to use at the end awareness of the danger of using and

to use these in place of plastic. semester.

20

What challenges did you face?
Unfortunately, all members of Bye
Bye Plastic Bags were seniors, so this
presented a problem beginning in February
because of the exams. It was very difficult
for members to find common time to
work on BBPB initiatives and often, follow
through was a hurdle. It is apparent that
younger members, especially those in
JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017
grades 9 and 10 must be an integral part of
the group for it to succeed.
Do you have any plans for the future?
Bye Bye Plastic Bags has now joined
forces with the service group Project Earth.
The lofty goals set by Bye Bye Plastic Bags
will now be addressed by a larger group of
students, consisting of grades 9-12.
21
 Yayasan Bhakti Luhur
Tell us about the project that was funded
by JIS Peduli?
The project that was funded by JIS Peduli
financially supports Yayasan Bhakti Luhur
in their operational, educational and
health care costs. Yayasan Bhakti Luhur
is a school for those with special needs.
The financial support will help them to
continue to develop as a school, home
and rehabilitation center for children. In
addition, the funds from JIS Peduli also
used to help them in their relocation later
this year. The government forced the
center that we work with to move due to
a new highway that is going to be built on
that land. Therefore, the money can help
facilitate their move to their new location.
Lastly, the funding may or may not go to
22
helping the foundation print booklets for
their Charity Event that occurred earlier in
May. Although this was not the main focus
for the funding, if The Yayasan Bhakti
Luhur chooses to use the funds for that
reason, their choice would be respected.
Did you achieve your goals?
As of right now, we are not sure if our
goals have been met as we haven’t had
the opportunity to check-in with the
foundation.
What challenges did you face?
Because the proposal has only been
newly accepted, we haven’t had many
challenges at the moment. However,
preparing and presenting the proposal
 JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017

itself was quite a challenge as it was a

new experience for my partner and I.

Do you have any plans for the future?

In the future, we hope to further grow a
partnership and relationship with Bhakti
Luhur and to assist them in any way
they need. We hope to visit them more
regularly as part of the High School Bhakti
Luhur service club.

Please tell us about your experience with

the proposal and funding process. How
could we improve?
The proposal and funding processes
went really smoothly. Tasks were clearly
explained and deadlines were clearly laid

out. The process was very professional

which gave students a unique peak
at professionalism in the workplace.
Everyone was supportive and kind. I don’t
see how the experience could be made
any better.

How did you originally hear about

JIS Peduli?
I heard about JIS Peduli from casual
experiences in school, however I never
knew what JIS Peduli does until applying
for their funds. I have a mom who works
as part of the PVO, and thus, I have
probably heard her talk about JIS Peduli,
but never understood their objectives until
quite recently.

23
 Womenesia Club
Did you achieve your goals?
The money provided by JIS Peduli was
used to purchase two electronic sewing
machines for the women at XS project.
Previously, they only had manual sewing
machines. The quality of the garments
produced by electronic sewing machines
is higher than manual sewing machines
and allows the women to produce an
increased variety of garments. They now
sell these garments overseas.
We achieved our goals as they were able
to make waterproof drawstring bags and
canvas tote bags which we sold at FFF
(Family Fun Fair). They are also now able
to take orders from other customers as
the machines are kept at XS village.

Tell us about the project that was

funded by JIS Peduli?
XS Project is an organization that works
with various other student service
clubs with the aim of improving the
lives of Indonesians. We work with
the XS Village which is a track picking
community. Womenesia chose to
work with the women in this village
because they have already established
a relationship with the village and JIS
students. The women in this village tend
to be idle during the day while their
husbands are at work. We have found
that these women are very interested in
learning in ways to help earn money and
support their family as well.

24
 JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017

What challenges did you face?

An obstacle we faced was that learning
to sew, including the time and skills
required, was very challenging for the
women. As a result, we only had a few
women who were making products. We
would like to encourage more women in
the XS village to learn how to sew. In the
future we are planning to expand our
service to women in other communities
as well.

Do you have any plans for the future?

In the future we are planning to
expand our service to women in other
communities as well.

Please tell us about your experience

with the proposal and funding process.
How could we improve?
The process was organized and
straight forward, making it easy to
apply for the funds.

How did you originally hear about

JIS Peduli?
From our previous club president.

25
 Roshan Learning Center

Tell us about the project that was

funded by JIS Peduli?
Roshan Learning Center is a program
of Yayasan Internasional Cahaya
Fajar (YICF), an NGO that serves both
refugees and Indonesians living in
poverty. Roshan serves approximately
100 asylum seekers and refugees,
about 60 of which are 18 and under.
JIS Peduli funds supported 100% of
Roshan’s daily operational costs and for their professional work while they

are volunteer staff who work without Roshan provides English, Bahasa

the only financial support they receive foundation in language and literacy that

26

allows for both academic preparation
and social protection. We provide the
building blocks in math and science
as well as opportunities to practice
the kinds of social skills--relating,
resilience, resourcefulness, and
reflection--that allow all students to
shine. Roshan students have benefited
from multiple exchange programs
and club activities with JIS students,
in addition to the generous financial
support of JIS Peduli.
What challenges did you face?
Arranging classes for asylum seekers
and refugees is a challenge because
students arrive with various levels
of education ranging from none to
interrupted to high levels of high-quality
learning in their home countries. The
staff at Roshan include teachers,
managers and volunteers with a range
of languages and backgrounds as
well, making good communication and
teamwork worthy of extra attention.
JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017
Our staff come from Afghanistan,
America, Indonesia, Australia, Iran and
more; some have a high school degree,
some have a PhD. Everyone has deep
commitment and delight in working with
the community. In addition to the range
of student and staff diversity, we work
with few resources, making it difficult
to do all that we wish to do. Students
come only three days a week, for
example, due to the challenges created
by transportation costs.
Do you have any plans for the future?
We aim to grow from about 100 to
125 students this year, continuing to
provide language, literacy, math and
science classes, while expanding our
provision of health activities and soft
skills classes. We would love support in
either of these areas.
27
 Urban Gardening Club

Tell us about your project that was

funded by JIS Peduli?
During the past year, the Urban
Gardening Club has been working closely
with the XS Project, an Indonesian NGO.
The XS Project aims to improve the lives
of families living in Jakarta’s trash picker
communities. The XS Project aims to
break the cycle of poverty by providing
education for trash picker children, and
educates the public on the effects of
trash on society and the environment.
It supports families of the trash picker
communities by running business
management workshops and dispensing
micro-loans so that the women of the
communities may operate their own
businesses, providing free medical

28

check-ups (including vaccinations, dental
and eye exams and medications), and
helps manage an organic farm near the
community. The trash picker community
is located on the site of the Cirendeu
rubbish dump, and the XS Project is
managed by Retno Hapsari.
Did you achieve your goals?
Part of the community is a small school,
however the yard in front was full of
rubble and trash, making it unsafe to
play in. The Urban Gardening Club took
on a project to beautify the community,
and through funding from JIS Peduli and
fundraisers throughout the year, acquired
the funds necessary to install two items
of playground equipment (a roundabout
and a slide) and to build and install three
large plant boxes that could hold a wide
variety of plants. Now the children of the
community have a safe environment to
play, and are able to learn about plants
JIS Peduli Annual Report 2016-2017
and urban gardening. We will continue to
visit the community during the year, but
we plan to find a new project to focus on
this coming year.
What challenges did you face?
Trying to find a day to visit and language
barriers.
Do you have any plans for the future?
At the moment, we have no plans that
require funding.
Please tell us about your experience with
the proposal and funding process.
How could we improve?
The process was really straight forward
and easy. No improvements needed.
How did you originally hear about
JIS Peduli?
Former club president and supervisor
informed us of JIS Peduli.

 Logistical Support
JIS Peduli & Service Learning
2016-2017 School Year
At JIS we want the student leaders of
our service clubs to focus on the quality
of the engagement and depth of the
experience. To that end, JIS provides
logistical support for service and service
learning activities across all divisions
and all campuses.
This support includes:
• Arranging transportation
• Materials acquisition
• Making connections to service partners
• Online and print communications
• Project funding
• Disaster relief and more

It’s a big school, so it’s a big job!
Just drop by on a Saturday morning
and see the line of buses headed out
on service trips, or come to the campus
after 3:00 on weekdays (especially
Tuesday) and you will see dozens
(sometimes hundreds) of local children
engaging in a variety of sports, fitness,
creative and academic activities led by
JIS students. It’s a two-way street and
JIS students get as much, if not more,
out if the experience as anyone else.
JIS Peduli loves to support big ideas!
If students find a need, whether it’s

building a house or facilitating a social
entrepreneurship program, they know
that can apply to JIS Peduli for funding.
The bottom line is that JIS Peduli aims to
provide the kind of support that enables
good things to happen!

 The JIS Peduli Fund
Financial Summary 2016-17 School Year

JIS students are articulate and

passionate about what they do. In order
to qualify for a loan or grant for their
service club, they must submit a formal
funding applications and present it to the
JIS Peduli Board.

The fund always needs to be replenished.

Any individual, organization or company
that would like to donate can find

page under “Giving to JIS Peduli”.

Every year we produce an annual report

so that we are accountable to our
stakeholders. We believe in the valuable
work of our students and service partners
and see the positive impact that their
efforts have on the recipients. Even more
importantly, we see how this helps our
students to truly live up to the JIS vision
of being passionate, inquisitive and
creative individuals - learning to be best
for the world.

The balance of the fund is used to

support student-initiated service
projects. JIS students present their
projects to the JIS Peduli Board.
