| Kids Smart Corner Project |
During
morning we have gone to a Public Library to which IBM has donated 3 units of Smarter
Kids learning stations. We attended several performances the children from the
several schools in the surroundings offered us: traditional music, dances and story
telling.

| Traditional band |
After that
we played the Smarter Kids software with the kids… and we didn’t want to stop! The kids kept greeting us all the way long
until we went out of their street.

| Director of the Public Library |
We could
experience the commitment from the different people in charge, the Library
Director and other high instances, including government to invest in the education
of the children as a mean to build a competitive Indonesia through raising
educational level.
Nice lunch at
a particular restaurant traditionally decorated over a lake full of fishes
(decorative).
In the
afternoon we joined SAPDA facilities and met an enthusiastic team that during 4th
and 5th of February hosted us with an excellent tea, and answering
patiently all our questions collaborated with us to identify knowledge gaps and
obstacles to achieve their goals.
SAPDA is a
not for profit organization that advocates for social, education and employment
inclusion for women, persons with disabilities and children in Yogyakarta
through advocacy training, promoting and participating in research and
development of public policies that guarantee the fulfillment of the basic
rights of women, people with disabilities and children.
During the
next weeks both SAPDA and IBM teams will build a strategic plan for 5 years, focused
on building the capacity of the professionals and removing the main obstacles
they are facing in the operations.
In the evening
… party! We all shared gifts and typical goods from our countries and had a relaxing
time at The Patio terrace of the hotel.
