| Introduction | The founder, T.Syafrizal’s life mission is to create new resources that enrich and empower the lives of children. This is an Acehnese youth-focused educational non-government organization that is taking education to the streets – literally. The Yayasan Pembinaan Kegiatan Generasi Muda (YPKGM) institute uses a mobile unit, fitted with education books and movies, story books, a computer, TV, LCD player and other electronic equipment to encourage children in Aceh to learn and have 15 unit village library in 6 district. Founded in 1994, by Mr. T.Syafrizal, known as Kak Ubit, the educational group was originally funded by the local cement factory for 3 years – a major employer of the community. Funding has come from various sources, including the latest donation from the Parramatta City Council in New South Wales, Australia. Aid was channeled via ‘Youth off the Streets Limited-Sidney Australia’. Formerly the foundation was housed in a building about 1 kilometer from the sea. The December 2004 earthquake and resulting tsunami destroyed the building. |
