SURABAYA,
INDONESIA - Media OutReach - 9 March
2020 - EtonHouse Preschool, Surabaya is the first preschool to launch
LittleHearts in Indonesia. Their charity bazaar, titled Love is in The Air,
aimed to raise awareness and build children's empathy. Preloved items donated
from families and children's artwork were on sale, and the event was open to
the public, held from 3rd to 5th December 2019. All proceeds of the charity
bazaar will be given to Yayasan Tumpuan Harapan, a local orphanage in Surabaya,
Indonesia. The charity bazaar raised an amount of IDR10,000,000.00.
"A
seemingly simple project like a charity bazaar involves months of preparation.
Hence, it is able to instill values such as long-term planning, sustainable
efforts and remind the children on how everyone can play a part in giving back
to the community," elaborates Arjuna Raj, Chief Strategy Officer of
LittleLives.
"Together
with the children, teachers and parents collaborated to make this event a
success. It is important that we include parents in this LittleHearts project
as it strengthens the relationship between children and their parents," says
Marissa, Charity Bazaar Committee of EtonHouse, Surabaya.
LittleHearts
aims to reach 100 cities worldwide, creating a network for preschools to share
their community efforts. With such a platform, staff and students alike can
benefit from adopting exciting ideas and apply them in their own schools.
Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Hong Kong are some of the countries
that have already kick-started LittleHearts.
