Community Development -
The "Humaira" Arts Studio, located in YUM's Center for Child and Family Welfare (CCFW) in Banda Aceh, welcomes children of all ages to participate in a wide variety of arts activities.
Organized in conjunction with the women's Family Welfare Movement Program ("PKK"), the Arts studio aims at building the spirit of children after the tsunami devastation, encouraging creative expression through dance and music lessons.
Children are encouraged to participate by sharing and exchanging their knowledge of various traditional dances and Acehnese music.
"It's unbelievable that despite what these children have been through with the earthquake and tsunami devastation, their spirits aren't crushed, but beating strong!
I see the care and solidarity forming between the children and I am happy that we got to be a part of it. In the "Humaira" Arts Studio, these children are free to be inspired by dance and music!"

Thanks to the Japan National Council of Social Welfare (JNCSW), YUM and the CCFW are able to touch, and help restore the lives of tsunami victims in many diverse ways.
