sekolah kartini
Dim light and noisy surroundings, but when they spell alphabet or when they answer the teacher’s question they are louder than cars, trucks and other vehicles that passing by around them.
This school is located in Ancol - North Jakarta, under the concrete of elevated harbor free way. Founded in 1996 by Mrs. Sri Rosiyanti(56) and her twin sister Mrs. Iriyaningsih (56), around 350 students study in this school from kindergarten to 6th grade elementary school without paying any tuition.
The ability to read and write is a basic need in globalization era nowadays. When the capitalism of education system created high cost education and ignored these children need, the twins didn’t give it up. Both, they fund and manage this school by themselves and also from donations.
These two sisters have been struggling to obtain a land from local government for permanent and proper school building they want to build. But until the time these pictures were taken, on the Children National day (23rd of July 2005), there hasn't been any answers from the government yet.
