October 31st, 2009 was a very special day for Friends of Nurani Insani. On that day, we had our first and second fund raising events all happened in the same day.
In the morning, fifty kilometers from Melbourne, Australia, a garage sale was held in Rosebud by our dearest friends Joan and Malcolm Haynard. They are very concern with our micro-financing project and families like Atin’s and Tasrifah’s. With the support of Joan and Malcolm Haynard’s friends, the garage sale raised AUD$ 1,705 equal to IDR 14,770,000.

Raising voice and awareness in costumes
Thanks to all of our friends in Rosebud and Jakarta for their generosity and caring, more families will be included to the micro-financing project. With this project more children will be taken off the streets and can start concentrating on their studies and plays.
We will continue reporting stories of families and children from the micro-financing project, so stay tune!
