The tsunami in Kampung Mulia, a community in its capital city of Banda Aceh, left this building useless—without purpose.  That is, until Compassion Frisco and partners in Aceh Link leased it with a promise to restore it.  A school?  A computer center?  Just a gathering place?  But why not all the above?

Just this week its purpose was clearly defined.  More than two dozen women began training for work in a salon, cutting and shampooing hair, or baking cakes to be sold in little stores or sewing needed items  by hand or treadle machines.  These women and many others joining them will now find ways to support their families.

 Forty children and teenagers will gather several times weekly to develop computer skillls and to speak English, maximizing opportunities now and in the future.  The graduation ceremonies of an adult English class held here has added dignity to their accomplishment.  Later trauma counseling and other emerging areas of study will be added in response to special needs of three communities.   

A new playground immediately adjacent to the community center provides fun for the little ones and a gathering place for parents.

If you have contributed to the work of Compassion Frisco, you have had a part in this effort.  Other needs now are demanding our attention—the ongoing expenses of the community center’s operation, the addition of a children’s library and additional computers.  You can have a part in meeting these immediate and urgent needs of the center through your gifts to Compassion Frisco.
