Please help to promulgate the info :)

Target: Students at MTs DDI Biduk-Biduk, East Kalimantan

How to contribute? We will collect the fund and distribute the bicycles to the students at MTs DDI Biduk- Biduk

Here is the short report (Based on a short interview with the headmaster, teacher and a student named Sidik whose parents work as a fisherman and farmer)

Biduk- Biduk is a remote area in Biduk-Biduk,Berau District, East Kalimantan, Borneo Island.

Major Occupation: Fishermen (Biduk-Biduk is located near the seaside).

In Biduk-biduk, there is one RA and one MI (equal to SD, status TERDAFTAR), MTs which is widely known as DDI (equal to SLTP, status: DISAMAKAN). There is a public transportation (angkot) in this area, round (return) trip will cost Rp 3000/each day. Because of their economic conditions,those children can’t afford the transportation cost. Every student should walk approximately 3 to 5 Kms to reach their school. Based on our estimation, we need to distribute 30 bicycles to cover all of the students in DDI. The bicycles can be used together, the ownership will belong to the school.
