Street kids.

A while ago, there was a thread about street kids but no real conclusions.
Should anyone be feeling philanthropic, this may be worth a look.

The front gate of Kampus Diakonia Modern swings open in the breeze, the light iron hinges wailing softy as the sound of children playing echoes in the distance. The gate of the alternative school is only locked at night for security reasons. There are no attempts here to make a midnight escape.

KDM tries to be a place of encouragement and learning. After all, it's a school for street kids, not a prison. The school's rescue team frequently hits the streets of Jakarta in the hopes of finding kids who are looking for a better life.


I should stress this is only from a newspaper report so requires checking for veracity but looks good on the surface.

Thanks for the article mas Fred.. I hope the article is true in its words and print.. :|

Lets hope there's light at the end of the tunnel for these poor children. :|

@mas fred, I just read the article. You're right, that's worth a look. Thanks for sharing them :)

These kids just need to be given a chance in life, instead of the adults taking advantage of them and exploiting them. :|

I'm sure these kids are talented and when guided and given some support, they make something of them self and better their life.

Don't worry about off topic. That bang on as it's about a street kid.
Worry about a duff link.

This is the real one.
