Give A Child A Future, Take A Piggy Bank Home!


The idea of donating her piggy-banks came after two successful exhibitions in Australia in July and August 1986. Thus when the following exhibition held in Yogyakarta in July 1987 yielded more than US$ 5000 the whole amount was donated to help around 200 students to continue their study.

This exhibition in her hometown drew more than 1000 visitors, including tourists from different countries, such as the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Japan. The highlight of the exhibition was also the surprise visit of the Finance Minister, Mr. Radius Prawiro and his wife, who on that occasion donated enough to cover 12 students.
