The Beautiful Acrylic Flowers : Parent Empowerment of PAUD Sanggar Fortune 4
Not only does Sanggar Fortune participate in educating children of the nation by fostering Early Childhood Education (PAUD), now Sanggar Fortune also empowers parents of PAUD students of Sanggar Fortune 4 located on Jl. Keramat, Gg. Damai Cilandak Timur. The mothers were taught to arrange flowers using acrylic materials.
The training is carried out on third Wednesdays at 08:30 to 11:00 am WIB. The principal of Sanggar Fortune 4, Ibu Tjahyani or familiarly called Mama Hanif initiated this activity so that parents can spend their spare times with more positive activities. The training usually attended by 10-15 mothers of Sanggar Fortune 4 and PKK (family welfare movement) members around the neighborhood of Gang Damai is led by Mama Angel, one of the parents of students with special needs, whom Mama Hanif met at Dwituna Rawinala School.
The mothers will continue to get guidance to develop the handicrafts until they are able to utilize used stuff as the raw materials which are more environmentally friendly. The sales revenue of the handicrafts will be used to cover the operational costs of PAUD. The range of the selling price is very affordable at around IDR 20,000 – 50,000 per stalk. Sanggar Fortune Foundation will help market the handicrafts made by these women through various channels. This is related to one of Sanggar Fortune Foundation’s vision in 2016 which is to support SMEs belonging to PAUD Sanggar Fortune.
