Hope 4 Our Children's Event
On Saturday, April 2, 2005, the fundraiser, Dragonslayer Application (www.dragonslayerapps.com) and Hope 4 Our
Children organized a major fundraising event to benefit a boarding school for orphan in Subulussalam, Indonesia.
Subulussalam is a municipality of the island of Sumatra which is home to the city of Banda Aceh and the closest to the epicenter of the earthquake.
Subulussalam is an inland area not directly affected by the Tsunami, but is one of the poorest
regions of Sumatra and like every area is struggling to cope with the far-reaching after-effects.
Dayah Subulussalam
dorm has had an influx of approximately 20 orphans (and 60 more children to the Dayah school) in the wake of the Tsunami, and
anticipates that many more
will need housing and education in the coming years.
Event Goal
The goal of this fundraiser was to raise $22,000 for the construction of a 40-child residence hall. Sterling Charitable
Gift Fund will match funds for a second residence hall if we reach our goal.
The event was a family-focused cultural celebration featuring traditional Indonesian foods, dance and musical performances, and arts and crafts for children.
Adults was fully briefed on the school, the current status of the orphans and the plans for construction and ongoing support. The events included a live auction
of jewelries and a silent auction of Indonesian crafts and textiles.

Event Outcome
The event was a success. We were able to raise $18,601.12. With the dollar per
dollar match by Sterling Charitable Gift Fund, we hope to build dorms to provide shelters for the total of 80 orphans.
Unlike goods and services which will quickly be used, we are building homes that will be providing shelter to orphans in 40 or 50
years to come. Years from now, your donation will still be giving to the most unfortunate children in Aceh.
