Socially Uplifting Kitabisa
Paulus Ronald Bogar was feeling happy late last July. His project '500 Names for NTT-Village Library' had racked up Rp53 million on the website, kitabisa.com. "I was so happy and moved," he told Tempo English two weeks ago. Ronald, who studies international relations at Padjadjaran University, is the Coordinator of the NTT Youth Project.
He realized that, at last, he would be able to fulfill the needs of his Village Library project, which had already established five villages in Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province: Ojang, Bangkoor, Poma, Dewa Wolo Dhesa and Nita. Since the program's inception he and his friends had badly needed funds for the purchasing of bookcases, tables, and other library needs.
