Foreword
I still remember when Utut Adianto meet me at the office eleven
years ago. He initiated a big and qualified chess tournament. Utut is
a genius; I do not doubt his confidence. In collaboration with PB
Percasi, the chess tournament given the name JAPFA Chess Classic
in Bali in 2000 was proved to be successful. It has become JAPFA’s
stepping stone to begin its commitment in chess. In the same year
JAPFA Chess Club , chess club for JAPFA employees, was inaugurated.
As a corporate, since 2000 until today, JAPFA have sponsored
numbers of important chess match in our country. The JAPFA
Chess Festival (JCF) held on 24 to 28 October 2011 was the sixth
time. Presenting eleven game categories, JCF 2011 involves 600
chess players from 24 provinces in the country. From year to year,
JCF is the largest chess tournament in Indonesia.
The special thing about JCF 2011 was the JAPFA International
Women Tournament. In this tournament, three women grand
masters from Europe: GMW Sopiko Guramishvili (Georgia), GMW
Jana Krivec (Slovenia) and GMW Burtasova Anna (Russia) has
compete against three Indonesia’s best female chess players: MIW
Sihite Chelsie Monica, MFW Dewi AA Citra, and MFW Medina Warda
Aulia. Although the tournaments were won by Sopiko, Medina can
be proud because her criterion has advances. She is now entitled as
MIW (Women International Master).
The newsletter in this issue will be a Main Report of JAPFA Chess
Festival 2011.
In addition, we present JAPFA4Kids Kaleidoscope in 2011. Photos
and reports delivered the message that JAPFA4Kids program has
experienced positive developments both in the number of
participants and the variety of activities. Nutrition Campaign still
remains the main activity, while JAPFA4Kids Awards is one of the
tools to measure the success..
Cooperation with various organizations outside JAPFA also
enlightens and enlivened the work. JAPFA4Kids has recently
established cooperation with the Books for Asia
from The Asia Foundation. Together we distribute excellent
educational books for children to depths of the country. Articles of
collaboration can also be found inside.
Through the year of 2011, JAPFA4Kids have visited many villages
in Indonesian. We met with thousands of children. We learn from
them, and we also work for them. We realize that we still have a lot
of work to do. However, our determination for this new year is still
the same, which is to accompany the children to prepare themselves to face the challenge in the future. Happy New Year 2012!
Sincerely,
R.Artsanti Alif

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
FOR THE SAKE OF A BETTER LIFE
E
ver since we are involved in chess until today, the commit
ment to develop the brain teasers sports in Indonesia is
still kept. JAPFA does not only support chess tournaments,
but also for the development of chess players.
JAPFA Chess Festival 2011 is JAPFA and PB Percasi sixth cooperation. From year to year we have strive to brings a qualified tournament involving as many chess players as possible.
That is why the category of games that were presented are
designed for chess player from children to adults, women and men,
amateur to professional, and even from local and international. We
hope with this packaging, the chess players can compete with
strategies, as they learn the opponent’s tactics.
If then the Minister of Youth and Sport, Andi Mallarangeng,
expects JAPFA Chess Festival to be a systematic coaching event for
the birth of grand master, we also accepts it.
Through JAPFA Chess Club, the chess club for JAPFA employees
established since 2000, JAPFA has been recruiting, training, and
accompanying the seeds of potential chess players from the region.
The club is also a place for employees to practice their chess skills,
sharpen their brain, exercise patience and persistence to achieve
victory.
We are proud to witness the journey of GM Susanto Megaranto,
MI Tirta Chandra, MN Pepen Wahyudin, GMW Irene Kharisma
Sukandar, and the last is the MIW Medina Warda Aulia. How
touching it is to watch their historic moment as they won the title
of leading chess players.
Welcoming the New Year, JAPFA has determined to remain
beside the other children of our nations that are scattered in
various corners of the country. JAPFA4Kids program is one of the
ways to do it. This program has been going onsince 2008 and until
now it has shown a good growth along with positive response
from the community.
Next, let us leave 2011 with gratitude for all the cooperation we
have done. Let us enter 2012 with a new spirit, evaluation of the
inadequacy in past, and stabilize the intention to continue to
support the achievements of our nation’s children achieving. For

The climax of the opening ceremony was
the double rapid chess match for 2
minutes between GMW Sopiko

Menpora Andi Mallarangeng opened the
match by making the first move. In the end,
Sopiko taught a valuable lesson for Chelsie.
Menpora then motivates by saying; “We do
want to draw experience as much as
possible from the guest participants with

In Andi’s opinion, today there are a lot of

eleven categories of the game. From the

the veteran of over 55 years old; from the
man or woman professionals, until an

Some interesting things were found in

which will stimulate new potentials, which
later will be able to bring Indonesia’s name

Ir. Eka Putra Wirya, Chairman of the JCF

hope, “JAPFA Chess Festival was initiated by
PB Percasi and PT. Japfa Comfeed
Indonesia Tbk as a part of an effort to
develop and cultivate Chess as a sport in
Indonesia which is expected to bring a
superior generation of chess, who is smart,

While the oldest participant in the JCF
2011 is Jesse Torre, 72 years old. He is the
eldest brother of GM Eugene Torre, Filipino
chess players. Jesse has lived in Indonesia
for last four years. In the JCF 2011, he
played in the Open Tournament category.
Both Afit and Jesse, was not crowned with
victory. Even so, both said that they were
happy to join the prestigious event such as
JCF 2011.
A special moment was brought by GM
Susanto Megaranto in the Open Category
and Nyimas Shieta Prima (9) in Junior
Female Age 10 Category. Why it isn’t so.
Both managed to figure perfect 7 points in
the seventh round of JCF. We can be sure
that they are the first champion (See: The

JAPFA WOMEN INTERNATIONAL
TOURNAMENT
The special thing about the eleven
categories of JCF 2011 is JAPFA Women
International Tournament (WIT). This is the
second JAPFA WIT after it was held for the
first time in 2008 and raised Irene Kharisma
Sukandar as the first woman chess player in
Indonesia with the title Grand Master. This
phenomenon is an initial progressive step
of Indonesian woman chess player. Since
then, Indonesian women chess players’
passions has increased. This is the reason
why JAPFA WIT was held again.
JAPFA WIT 2011 is a dual battle among
the Indonesia’s three best female chess
players - called the dream girls – with three
of Europe’s chess players. Currently the rank
of dream girls in Indonesia is just below
Irene Kharisma Sukandar. They are: Women

JAPFA CHESS CLUB
JAPFA Chess Club (JCC) was established
in October 2000. It was made to accommodate and build excitement for chess
among employees; well as a recreation for
JAPFA employees in various parts of the
country. At that time, even until now,
there are rarely companies involved in
chess as sport.
GM Adianto who became chairman of
the JCC when it was then recruited
friends
who are senior chess players such as:
the late GM Edhi Handoko, MI Salor
Sitanggang, MN Fahmi Jauhari and MN
Novian Siregar. They were invited to join
and help the JCC. Until now, JCC has a
good chess coaching system for JAPFA
employees. This system helps the club
members to be able to play the chess
with more strategies.
Since 2001, the club held chess training
activities for employees
exclusively from the big
city like Jakarta, Medan,
Surabaya and Makassar
down to the small
towns such as Takisung
in Central Borneo, Bati-Bati in South
Borneo, Gisting in the valley of
Tanggamus-Lampung, the cool Bedugul in
Bali and Banyuwangi in Central Java.
Meanwhile, the activities ‘Training from
employees to employees’ are capable to
contribute and educate employee’s friends
and family.
In the National Championships XXXV in
Palembang in 2002, the club should be
proud. One of JAPFA employee, namely
Pepen Wahyudin of PT Multibreeder
Adirama Indonesia (MBAI), a subsidiary of
JAPFA in Purwakarta, successfully obtained
a National Master title.
The proud of success was brought by GM
Susanto Megaranto who achieved to win a
gold medal in the category of Men
Standard Chess. This was the only gold
earned by the Indonesian Chess Team. MF
Hamdani Rudin who ranked third in Open
Championship JCF 2011, won a silver medal
in Quick Chess category.
The achievements of the Chess players in
JCF 2011 certainly also make JAPFA proud.
Earlier, before the departure for SEA
Games XXVI, MFW Medina Warda Aulia
claimed that she had not known which
games category will she be playing for, as
an athlete, her job is to practice and
practice to achieve.
JAPFA, with its commitment for chess,
helps Indonesian chess players by providing tournaments for them to practice, test
their tactics and strategies. JAPFA Chess
Festival is one of them. In the future,
Artsanti Alif says, “JAPFA’s Commitment on
Chess has been proven
for more than one
decade since 2000. And
JAPFA will continue to
support in future”. •J•

JAPFA WOMEN INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT PLAYERS PROFILE
JAPFA Woman International Tournament (WIT) is one of the main categories in the
JAPFA Chess Festival 2011. This international match brought three Indonesian Dream Girls
on the rise to compete with three Women Grand Masters from world class chess stars in the
East Europe. Here are their profiles:
CHELSIE MONICA
IGNESIAS SIHITE
Every day Chelsie spent eight hours to
practice chess. If there is a tournament
going on, she could spend 10 to 12 hours. “I
want to overthrow a lot of the Women
Grand Master so my elo rating could
quickly advance,” she said. In JAPFA Chess
Festival 2011, she made a surprise by
defeating WGM Jana Krivec in the first
round. But Chelsie has to give up against
GMW Sopiko Guramishvilly in the tenth
round. Although filled with disappointment, in Sea Games XXVI which she
attended after, Chelsie won a silver medal
for Woman Quick Chess category.
DEWI ARDHIANI
ANASTASIA CITRA
Dewi likes to collect chess game. She brings
her laptop everywhere. She has Convecta
Chess, Personal Chess Trainer (Chessiomo),
Chess Position Trainer up to Mentor. “This
way I can challenge a lot of Grand Master.
It’s cool,” she said. Dewi’s dream was
actually to be a flight stewardess. However,
she must be realistic. Dewi then chose to
focus on chess, because she wants to
become a Women Grand Master. In JAPFA
Chess Festival 2011 Dewi is ranked sixth.

KALEIDOSCOPE
THE J URNEY
OF JAPFA4Kids IN 2011
Along the year of 2011, JAPFA4Kids has
held various activities and establish new
collaborations. This was done to support
the Nutrition campaign.
J
APFA4Kids is one of PT Japfa Comfeed
(JAPFA) Indonesia Tbk program of
social concern for the Indonesian
children, in the form of nutrition campaign
with the theme: “Indonesian Children Care
for Nutrition”
Nutrition Campaign
was held at the
schools around
JAPFA’s business unit.
Since the first time
held on August 2008,
Nutrition Campaign
was held routinely
every month. In each
campaign, it involves
schools reaching not
less than one thousand students at once.
Some of them were
selected and trained
to be Dokter Kecil.
All the way to
December 2011, the
Nutrition Campaign
had reached 181 public elementary schools
in 43 districts / cities located in 16 provinces in Indonesia. It involves 37,987 pupils
and 2812 teachers.
There are three aim of Nutrition Campaign: increase the children’s, in Elementary
School (SD), understanding that nutritious
animal products are not “luxury food”;
increased the insight knowledge about the
importance of consuming animal products
for their health and intelligence to face the
challenges of globalization; and improved
the understanding of schools management
in order to run the school in more orderly,
12
planned, organized and programmed
manner so as to improve the students’
learning quality and the school environment.
To fulfill the third aim, JAPFA designed a
specific training called 5S for Headmaster,
teachers and other staff in the school.
5S is actually the structure guideline and
maintenance in all working areas of JAPFA
throughout Indonesia. The aim is to
support the work to achieve the optimal
results. 5S stands for: SEIRI / Sorting, Seiton
/ Organizing, Seiso / Cleaning, Seiketsu /
Establishing, and Shitsuke / Habituating.
Nutrition campaign was conducted for 2
days in a row. First day: 5S and Dokter Kecil
Training. Second day: JAPFA4Kids Cultural
Festival, which includes free basic medical
check-up, JAPFA4Kids nutritional package
distribution, and traditional art performance by each school. JAPFA4Kids
nutrition package consists of 3 pillow milk,
2 packs of ready to eat sausage, boiled egg,
two picture story books, and a school
writing equipment.
POSITIVE RESPONSE AND COOPERATION
From year to year the pacticipants of the
Nutrition campaign, both the number of
schools and students, showed a twofold
increase (See: Graph). This phenomenon
grows with the positive response from the
participants, people, also government
where the Nutrition Campaign was held.
Last September
for example,
Regent of
Purwakarta, H.
Dedi Mulyadi,
attended
JAPFA4Kids
Awards awarding
event in Cibatu,
Purwakarta. This is
the second time
he attended after
his first attendance in
JAPFA4Kids
Awards last year
which is also in
Purwakarta. As
usual, Dedi gave
his characteristic
welcome speech that make the children
become more enthusiastic to participate
on the Nutrition Campaign.
This year JAPFA4Kids establish new
partnerships with several parties. They are
Department of Health and Local Health
Center in Dokter Kecil training; Sinar
Harapan and the Independent Journalists
Alliance in journalism training and
competitions; and Books for Asia from The
Asia Foundation for the distribution of
English books for Nutrition Campaign
schools participant.
In the internal scope of JAPFA, the
involvement of local business unit are no
longer limited to the survey to see which
school will be helped, or prepare and assist
the implementation of the nutrition
campaign. Regional units are also welcome
to initiate ideas in their region along with
the JAPFA4Kids Program.
In Sukabumi for example, Region II
Broiler Unit PT Ciomas Adisatwa, under
Achmad Dawami, contributed lunch each
time the nutrition package is distributed in
Sukabumi for five months. They also build a
bathroom in SDN Batukarut, Sukaraja,
Sukabumi.
Initiatives like that were important in
establishing communication and relationship with the community around the local
unit area. Because JAPFA4Kids become one
of the tools in the JAPFA’s local unit area to
begin with.
DOKTER KECIL
Dokter Kecil Training is a new part of
JAPFA4Kids program which was held since
January 2011. Those who were chosen to
attend the training are the students that
are doing well in school, in good health,
neatly dressed, in healthy behaviors, good
character, and are helpful.
Dokter Kecil was expected to be able to
participate in the implementation of
maintaining and improving health of self,
friends, family, and environment, and also
participates in the School Health Unit
(UKS). They were also asked to help the
implementation of 5S program in schools.
The first Dokter Kecil training was held in
SDN 3 Cikande, Cikande, Serang, Banten.
The participants were 13 students and 3
Teachers of UKS. They represents the three
participating schools of JAPFA4Kids
Nutritional Campaign in January 2011,
namely: SDN Pabuaran, SDN 2 Cikande, and
SDN 3 Cikande. Along 2011 JAPFA4Kids has
trained 700 Dokter Kecil.
During the training, JAPFA4Kids collaborated with the Health Department and the
Local health center. They give four training
programs namely: Clean and Healthy Living
Behavior (PHBs), Nutrition, First Aid(P3K),
and Dokter Kecil with Character, while the
last was specially designed by JAPFA. The
goal for the Dokter Kecil training is not only
educates children about health, but also
good character. To show their sincerity,
after the training, the Dokter Kecil pledges
the “Dokter Kecil Vow”.
JURNALIS CILIK
Journalistic training was another one of
the new program of JAPFA4Kids. It was
initiated with daily newspaper Sinar
Harapan and collaborated with Independent Journalists Alliance (AJI). This program
was named “Jurnalis Cilik JAPFA4Kids”. It
was held for five months from January to
May 2011. The participants was more than
1000 students from 74 school based in four
areas of JAPFA4Kids.
JAPFA4Kids Jurnalis
Cilik activities includes
journalism training and
competitions. Each school
forms a team to make a
newspaper to represent
their school. Each team
consists of five children.
The paper then named
Koran Cilik JAPFA4Kids.
The theme of the paper is
“Local Uniqueness” from
each area.
The journalism contest
prize valued at IDR127, 5
million was held in two
level. The first level takes
place at the region level.
In which the winners were invited to
Jakarta to participate in the national level
competition. Besides earning the prize, the
winners are also invited to visit the tourism
sights in Jakarta.
JAPFA4KIDS AWARDS 2011
JAPFA4Kids School and Student Awards
Competitions is an annual activity held for
the nutrition campaign participants from
the past year. This is also a place to evaluate
whether the nutrition campaign already
has reached the target. This means whether
the improvement of child’s nutrition as well
as the clean and orderly school environ-
ment, can improve the child’s performance.
In fact, same as the previous year,
JAPFA4Kids Awards this year brings the
potential of the regional kids. The result of
the competition shows that if the opportunity were given, the children are capable to
achieve. JAPFA then try to facilitate it.
This year is the second year of
JAPFA4Kids Awards. Total prize worth IDR
350 million are up for the children. The
participants were 12 000 children from 58
elementary schools. The categories of the
competition held vary more than it was
before.
In the Student Competitions, competition was divided into three categories
namely; drawing competition for grade 1-3,
writing and bulletin board for grade 3-5. As
for School Competition it
remains in the form of
competition between
schools in the implementation of 5S.
Overall, the event of
JAPFA4Kids Awards 2011
lasted for five months,
starting on first of May
and ends in late September. Interestingly,
JAPFA4Kids Awards
awarding event were held
coincide with Nutrition
Campaign Culture
Festival in Sukabumi. The
event was so splendor
because thousands of
children from various regions in Indonesia
were able to meet each other.
HOPE
Nutrition Campaign 2011 begins in
January at Banten and ends in December at
the same province; to be exact in Cisoka
district, Tangerang. Even so, it is not the last.
Nutrition Campaign schedules for 2012
were full already. The entire JAPFA4Kids
team is ready to go back to the region and
meet the children’s cheerful faces. With
commitment and sincere intention to give
the best, the team is optimist to face the

NUTRITION CAMPAIGN IN SUKABUMI,
KAMPAR, AND TANGERANG
There are lunches served in the second
JAPFA4Kids nutritional package distribution in Sukabumi district, West Java. This
is one of the supports from JAPFA
regional business units for JAPFA4Kids
Program.
C
orporate citizenship is the concept.
It is a full awareness derived from a
whole understanding about the role
and responsibilities of business in social
life.
Not only social concern, corporate
citizenship suggests the companies to
involve in raising other citizens’ awareness
and receive more information as well play
an active role in efforts of enlightening
various communities in the country.
In realities, PT Japfa Comfeed Tbk,
through the Program JAPFA4Kids, has been
campaigning about nutrition. The selected
theme: “Indonesian Children Cares for
Nutrition”. The campaign is held for two
consecutive days at one location. The goal
is to give an understanding about the

importance of consuming nutritious foods,
mainly from the product animal. This
activity targets public elementary school
students around the JAPFA regional
business unit area.
JAPFA4KIDS AND JAPFA
REGIONAL UNIT
JAPFA4Kids program is not simply a
social concern. It helps the JAPFA regional
business unit to establish communication
with community around the location.
On the implementation of the Nutrition
Campaign, the regional unit would survey
the schools around the business area to
determine the location, establish cooperation with authorities, as well as prepare and
assist the implementation of the activities
on the due date.
After the campaign, for the next five
months, the regional unit would distribute
nutrition package to the children participated on the Nutrition Campaign. It’s
content is about the same, but without the
books and writing tools, which is 3 pillow
milk, 2 packaged ready to eat sausage, and
1 boiled eggs.
From friendship and team work like this,
it is hoped that a better communication
with the nearby community, and also local
government can be tied closer.
lift each other. Of course the ones with the
smaller body have difficulties for that. This
scene invites laughter. The children loves it,
love having lunch from JAPFA and the
additional nutritional package from from
JAPFA4Kids.
Shortly, the JAPFA regional units’
involvement and support also determines
whether or not the aims of JAPFA4Kids
program are completely accomplished.
In various program JAPFA4Kids working
areas, the regional units’ role in Nutrition
Campaign activities from day to day looks
more real.
Here are the Nutrition campaign
activities flash in October, November, and
December 2011 in public elementary
school that are in one of JAPFA operation
unit area, PT Ciomas Adisatwa.
LOVING NUTRITION IN SUKABUMI
The Nutrition campaign held in
Sukabumi regency, West Java province on
October 27 to 28 was lively. It involves 1194
pupils and 54 teachers from 3 elementary
schools, namely; SDN 1 Purwasari, SDN 2
Purwasari of Cicurug districts and SDN
Batukarut in Sukaraja district. 30 students
selected to join the Dokter Kecil training.
Ucup, one of the teachers from SDN 2
Purwasari were happy with the Nutrition
campaign. Especially, as he participated in
the 5S Training, “Actually we already have
our own working program. But this
encourages and motivates us to run the
programs with our best.”
Different than the usual, this time a preschool children from Taman Kenanga PAUD
(Early Childhood Education) also participates because they happened to be in one
school area. They also participates in the
free medical check-up.
As their gratitude, in the Cultural Festival,
Taman Kenanga students also perform

performed karate. This is the extracurricular
activity that they are very proud of.
The Nutrition campaign is also attended
by Achmad Dawami, Head of Region II
Broiler Division PT Ciomas Adisatwa. He
supports the Nutrition Campaign and
promised to also serve lunch during the
nutritional package distribution. On the
Culture Festival, Dawami advised the

children’s food rather than buying
cigarettes.
One month later, on November 28,
Dawami kept his promise. He toured the

crowded. Hundreds students of SDN 001,
002, and 003 Lubuk Sakat gathers together.
That day was the last day of JAPFA4Kids
Nutrition Campaign, and they are participating in the free medical check-up and

JAPFA4Kids Campaign in Kampar was
actually involves 5 public elementary
school. Because of technical constraints,
two schools, namely SDN 004 and SDN 005,
didn’t get to participate in Culture Festival.
Free health check-up and nutrition
package distribution were distributed in
the two schools on 29 November. While at
the same time, 64 other students attended
the Dokter Kecil training and 72 teachers
participates in the 5S training.
Just like in other places, Iryanti, trainer
from JAPFA, delivers 5S material in a clear
and pleasant manner. Many teachers were
impressed. Usri, the Headmaster of SDN
0055 praised, “This is a good training. Here,
we know which ones are good and which
ones are not by seeing it in pictures. We
came to know the comparison.” While Yeni
Ariza, the Headmaster of SDN 001, recognizes that 5S material will be very useful for
work, she’s optimist, “Joining JAPFA4Kids
Awards 2012 and come to Jakarta”.
Imam Wahyudi, Head of Region III PT
Ciomas Adisatwa hopes, “5S Training from
JAPFA will support the learning and
teaching activities, so that the educational
activity could be more fun”.
The Nutrition Campaign in Kampar also
receives support from the local people. We
can see it from the presence of Yusriandi,
Regional Head of Lubuk Sakat village,
during activity. He admits that this was the
first time such activity was held in Lubuk
Sakat. In his speech Yusriandi thanked
JAPFA4Kids for Helping Teachers to teach
15
about the importance of nutrition for kids.
Other support for the Nutrition Campaign in Kampar also comes from the the
participation a foreign volunteer. She is
Xing Ying Tan, young women aged 17 years
old from Singapore. Instead of spending
her time off visiting tourist attractions, Xing,
as she was called, involved in the Nutrition
campaign instead. She came one day
before the event to participate in surveying
the field, help prepare the event, and in the
Culture Festival by teaching the song
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to the children.
Before going home, Xing also give some
presents to each of the participating
school. (See: Xing Ying Tan, JAPFA4Kids
Volunteers).
In Pekanbaru, PT Ciomas Adisatwa works

the right time, while we are re-arranging
our school.”
SDN Campaka III is still cleaning up. It
was just in 2008 that their school stands on
the area of 4000 m2. When the Nutrition
campaign was held, other corner of the
school still appears busy with construction
of additional classrooms. One pick-up car
was going back and forth to deliver the
new furniture.
In 2010, SDN Campaka III received RSSN
status (Pioneer National Standards School)
and receives music equipment and
computers from the Korean government.
Meanwhile, Erri Kristianto, Head of
Jabotabek Area PT Ciomas Adisatwa, said
that JAPFA4Kids Nutrition Campaign was
one of JAPFA’s contributions for the public.
As many as 80% of employees Cisoka Farm
is local resident. No wonder why Cisoka
Farm is active in establishing good
relationship with local people.
Sinung Triatmanto Nur, head of Cisoka
Farm, tells how every harvest time of
chicken (once in two months) they share
700 of them to the four neighborhood
around the farm. Cisoka Farm also allows
farmers to take some of the chicken’s dirt
for fertilizer.
On the third day, a free medical check-up
and Culture festival was held for SDN
Campaka III students. Medical check-up
was held in cooperation with the local
health center. A total of 10 medical
personnel were involved.
Meanwhile, the Culture Festival was held
lively. Some students performed their skills
on stage. Some were playing pianika,
angklung, tambourines, singing, and
dancing. Some were also showing their
scouting skills. They lined up and put on a
show while holding the stick in front of the
entire audience.
Among the guests, aside from Ahmad
Dawami, Head of Region II PT Ciomas
Adisatwa, Police from the Cisoka sector, PPA
Afroni, was also present. They attended and
gave appreciation to those who performed.
The Nutrition Campaign in Cisoka,

“If there are opportunities, I want to do it again”
T
he song Twinkle-twinkle little star
was heard in the yard of SDN 003
Lubuk Sakat, Perhentian Raja district,
Kampar regency, Riau. Although stammered, dozens of children try to sing it
enthusiastically.
Tan Xing Ying (17), JAPFA4Kids volunteer
from Singapore, taught the song to the
children in JAPFA4Kids Nutrition Campaign
Culture Festival on 30 November. The
atmosphere was actually uncomfortable.
The air was so hot. The sun was blazing. But
Xing, so she called, trying to overcome the
uncomfortable weather by continuing to
spread smiles and laughter to the children.
“Hot, very hoooooot,” said Xing many
times as she brushed her bangs away from
her face after the ceremony. Her hair was
tied in a ponytail, while some of her short
hair comes out naturally. She sat on a
plastic chair under a tent. Carrying a pink
backpack and drinking mineral water.
Finally she can rest for a while. Previously
she was drawn to and fro. Not only the
children, but the teachers also wanted to
take a picture with her; Xing could not
reject. They were happy that Xing had
come.
This is Xing’s first visit to Pekanbaru.
Although her father works in Jakarta, Xing
admits she rarely comes to Indonesia.
Coincidentally now was school holiday, the

being able to interact with children.
Perhaps we did not understand what was
spoken to each other, but their openness
and friendliness was clearly visible “ she lit
up.
At the end of the Culture Festival, Xing
gave a short speech in English, translated
by the committee. Xing says she’s happy to
have come to Pekanbaru. She thanks for
given the opportunity. As a memento, Xing
gives a present to the three participating
schools in the Nutrition campaign.
Social activities are not something new
to Xing Ying. She stated, in Singapore there
are Community Involvement Program. This
activity is mandatory for students. Xing had
joined this program several times. She, for
example, had helped the elderly at home,
taught the students who have difficulty to
learn the lesson, collecting food and
donations for those in need.
Experience in social activities makes it
easy for her to be a JAPFA4Kids volunteer.
Though, of course, the language was one of
her challenges there.
Xing admitted, JAPFA4Kids Program was
very good for the schools.“Creating
activities that aim to educate the children
about nutrition of course have a greater
impact than just by donating food. If you
look at the committee busy setting up the
event, I think this Nutrition Campaign
needs more volunteers. If there are
opportunities, I want to do it again,” she
said with a grin.
Xing Ying went to school in Hwa Chong
Institution in Singapore. At her spare time,
she likes to read books or play squash. The
sport is similar to tennis and is played
indoor •J•

COLLABORATION
KOLABORASI
JAPFA4Kids and BOOKS FOR ASIA
COLLABORATE FOR INDONESIAN CHILDREN
JAPFA4Kids had collaborated with
other organization a lot. Now with Books
for Asia, one of program from The Asia
Foundation.
P
resentation about the JAPFA4Kids
program by R. Artsanti Alif, Head of
JAPFA Public Relations, about six
months ago attracts Sintadewi
Aryasatyani’s attention, Books for Asia
Program Officer. Sinta sees that the
participating schools of JAPFA4Kids match
the criteria of the schools to receive book
from Books for Asia. Which is: not an
international standard school, doesn’t use
English as an instruction language, and a
public school. They agreed to work
together.
BOOKS FOR ASIA
Books for Asia is one of programs from
The Asia Foundation, a nongovernmental
and nonprofit organizations working to
build a peaceful, prosperous, fair and open
Asia-Pacific region.
Books for Asia believe that qualified
books have a power to change life. So they
collaborate with big publisher such as
McGraw Hill, John Wiley & Sons, Houghton
Mifflin Harcout, Lynne Rienner, W. W. Norton
& Company, Abrams, and Islans Press. All
books were written in English.
Since the first time in 1954 until now,
Books for Asia have donate more than 45
million of books that spread to thousand
biggest institution in 18 countries in Asia.
In 2010 alone, Books for Asia have sent 1

18
million books worth of US 43 million dollars
to those countries. In Indonesia, every year
it provides more than 20 thousand books
to be distributed to 12 provinces in Java,
Sumatera, Sulawesi, and Borneo.
JAPFA4Kids and Books for Asia collaboration may extend the range of books
distribution. This is because JAPFA4Kids
program which has begun in 2008 until
now have reached 16 provinces in country.
In that case both can complete each other;
especially as the number of participating
schools of JAPFA4Kids from year to year
showed an increase.
The larger area of books distribution,
the more children are helped to see the
diversity of ideas, ideas, and opportunities
for the better future. Reading is an early
step for that.
COLLABORATION
At the beginning of the collaboration,
Books for Asia donate 1770 books
consisting of 52 titles. To match the
recipient of the book, JAPFA4Kids only
selects the illustrated children’s book
and English language textbooks
and posters that support English
lessons.
Considering the availability
number of the books, for now
JAPFA4Kids determine the criteria
only achieving school is to
receive the books. Achieving
schools here refer to the winning
schools of JAPFA4Kids Awards in
2010 and 2011, and the winning
schools of Jurnalis Cilik JAPFA
4Kids 2011.
There are 35 achieving
schools chosen. Each receives
the books packed in one jumbo
carton. Some receives 52 books,
some only 47 books. Why? The difference of
this numbers cannot be avoid, because
there are several series of the books that
cannot be separated.
GIVING BOOKS
Wednesday, October 26th 2011 was a
historic day that the collaboration was
established. That day Artsanti and Sinta
visited two JAPFA4Kids schools in Cianjur,
West Java to give the donated books. While
the 33 other schools receiving books, is
sent by mail delivery services.
Both lucky schools who receive a visit
was SDN Kidang Buana, Jl. Sacadilaga,
Ciharashas village, Jamali village, and SDN
Campakamulya, Nambo village. Each
receives 52 books.
What an excited surprise. JAPFA4Kids
come without notice. Artsanti said, “This is
done on purpose. So there will not be
troublesome. The intention was only to
gather and deliver the books. Simply.”. Also
together with the group from JAPFA was

they give their energy and sincere heart for
the children.
The burden of carrying heavy cardboard
full of books were instantly gone when
they saw the teachers’ and children’s
expression as the cardboard was opened.
“Well, I’ve never seen a book as great as this
is!” said one of the teachers.
The books that were chosen was just not
any kind book. Printed on apparent quality
paper. The letters was well printed, the
illustrations uses sunny and bright color.
Among all the books
there is one large-sized.
Bound with iron ring,
much like desk top
calendar. The size is
69cm x 51cm with 3cm
thick. Very striking.
That book was packed
in a single separate
cardboard.
How do you read it?
The easiest is to set it up
on a desk or lap while
seated. One hand holds

touch it, wants to know what’s inside it.
The motivation to give was reflected
After going through the book, they are still
from both of the PIC as they carry the box
hesitant putting it back. Some of the
of books from the car up to the principal’s
children are seen to hold the book tightly
office. While they are used to giving a
in front of their chest. They were afraid that
commands to a number of staff, this time
the books are going to be taken away.
“Madam, can I bring this book home? I have
siblings at home. I want to show this to
him.”
Artsanti then tried to calm them , “You all
can take turns in reading this book, later
this book will stored in the school library.
You can read it again anyway, but if you
want to borrow and take the book home
you should ask the teachers or the librarian
first”.
Anisa, one of the students from Kidang
Buana elementary school, look attracted to
the books in front of her. She flipped
through the book while looking at the
pictures there. She then realized, the book
does not use Bahasa Indonesia. Anisa then
asked Artsanti bravely, “Ma’am, how can I
read this book? I do not understand.”
Realizing the language constraints; the
teachers answered Anisa’s concern. They
will find a special English teacher for
Children so that they will be able to read
English books on their own. Like tit for tat,
Books for Asia are also planning to hold
English workshop for school’s teachers
receiving the books donation.
This plan was a relief. Completing and
adding value on this new beginning of
collaboration in books distribution.
Although it is only a first step, it doesn’t
close the possibility that JAPFA4Kids and
Books for Asia will be treading another
steps together. All this collaboration was
arranged to be continuous; so that the
books will really become a positive force for
Indonesian children that are living in
various areas, to be brave and change life to build a better Indonesia•J•
