Just a few days ago our partner school YCM (Yayasan Cipta Mandiri) in Bogor celebrated its 20th anniversary — congrats! Throughout two decades hundreds of kids from eligible families have participated in its free educational classes. After the last two difficult Corona-ridden years, the spirits are high again and the next big goal is to set up a better computer room to provide more kids with better technical skills.

But also lots of fun, happiness, and - as always - a delicious meal prepared and cooked by the YCM students.
