Using participatory rural appraisal techniques, YTS helps villagers create a Community Development Plan

YTS began working in the seven villages of Bukit Batu in 2009. Using participatory rural appraisal techniques, we assisted each community in the sub-district to make a village development plan, and started providing an annual village development fund to support local livelihoods. The project has identified two livelihood opportunities that show much promise for the development of successful micro-enterprises, these are fish-farming and chicken-raising. In both cases, profitability is limited by the high cost of material inputs, primarily for feed. To overcome this barrier, YTS wishes to provide strategic support to the seven communities by providing training and equipment to manufacture feed from local sources. In 2013, we wish to provide each community with appropriate technology and training in order to enable them to operate local fish and chicken feed-production centers in each village.

The Mission of Bina Cita Utama (BCU) School is to be an innovative educational community in the Palangka Raya district of Central Kalimantan, offering challenging programs of study and a high-quality environment for learning. BCU seeks to nurture individuality, self-worth, a sense of humanity, and to educate children to become adults who will make a positive contribution to the development of their communities and the world.
The name Bina Cita Utama means “Nurturing Noble Ideals”. Here at BCU, we are dedicated to develop this high-quality, human-centered learning environment into a model school that can be replicated throughout the province. A Teacher-Training program is an attribute of our overall vision, which will bring new teaching methodologies to the wider community of children in Kalimantan.

Our guiding philosophy at the school, is to enable the “whole person” to develop and achieve excellence. The devised education programs encourage individual students to develop their natural talents and skills, to become independent thinkers and articulate communicators. Each student learns to perform within the limit of his/her individual capacity, which enables them to adapt and achieve success in an ever-changing world.
