We are determined to help these poor children to be the next great leaders, by empowering them and teaching them to PASS IT ON
IHF Medan specializes in helping the poorest of the poor that come from many tribes, which are now living in inner city poverty. Some of the people we help are often single mothers (father deceased) who work as house maids, pedi-cab-man ( who earn money by driving passengers in their tricycle) and other laborers who make below living wages. They only make their little amount of money on days that they can find customers.
Medan does not have an Orphanage because Medan is the central office for all of Indonesia IHF Centers and is also very full with about 150 wonderful students that we love and teach English, Math and computer.
These children and all of our IHF Medan Team are striving to improve our English so we can communicate with you and the world. Our total of about 500 students come from the poorest of the poor that need certificate (degree) to support in helping them to compete for jobs.
There are many tribes in Medan City such as: Bataknese, Javanese, Melayunese, Acehnese and Padang. The tribes that we have mentioned are majority in Medan, but there are tens of other tribes. My wife is Acehnese, which is also why we are so involved in helping victims from the Tsunami.
All you women out there will love Padang because it is Matriarchal, meaning that women rule (only Women can inherit, own land, keep all in divorce)!!!
In Medan, our Goal is to train teachers in motivating our shy students to NOT be afraid to ask questions, speak publicly, to think creatively, and reach for new heights.
