Subject : Collecting Donations to Establish Cikarang Japanese School
Dear Sirs and Madams,
First, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your warm understanding and support for the administration of Jakarta Japanese School. On this occasion, we, the Jakarta Japanese School Committee, with regard to the establishment of Cikarang Japanese School, would like to ask for your support in the form of funds to cover the cost of construction of the school building, and also its operation. Therefore, please allow us to inform you about the collect donations which are described as follows:
I. Background & Reason for the establishment of Cikarang Japanese School
One of the biggest challenges of the Japanese community living in the eastern part of the Jakarta metropolitan area is the long commute and drive due to "chronic traffic jam". This has brought a heavy impact not only to expatriates but also to their families, as some have no other choice than to come alone, being made apart from their families who should be living together with them in the first place, and even if some are able to live under the same roof, parents could not afford their precious time to get together with their children, etc. Furthermore, in addition to the mental and physical burden, there are concerns about safety risk due to long drive. In such an environment where Japanese residents are saying "this is truly a grave concern for us right now”, in order to support the Japanese community in Indonesia, the Jakarta Japanese School Committee is working diligently towards opening the new school in April 2019, in order to enable us to operate both the current Jakarta Japanese School and the Cikarang Japanese School together, for the purpose of providing equal educational opportunities for Japanese people living in this country.
II. About the donation request
Towards the establishment of the Cikarang Japanese School, we have obtained permission from the Indonesian government for the school expansion. We also have made application on behalf of Jakarta Japanese School Committee for partial subsidy from the Japanese government in the construction of the school building. However, Japanese schools outside Japan have the characteristics of private schools based on the beneficiary payment principle including construction and maintenance funds. Therefore, establishment and operation of the school cannot be established without the understanding and cooperation of resident Japanese companies, organizations and individuals in the capital region of Jakarta. As the opening of a Japanese school in this area will greatly contribute to further advancement of Japanese companies, we humbly ask for your cooperation to the donation in consideration to the reasoning as mentioned in the above.
III. Use of donations
Donations will be used to establish the Cikarang Japanese School and its operation. We need to secure donations of approximately IDR 45 billion, which is based on the assumption that Cikarang Japanese School will achieve surplus balance in the sixth year after the establishment of the school.
IV. Basis for donation request
[Based on Capital and Based on Number of Expats] We request that the amount of donation to be the sum of the amount "Based on Capital” of the parent company / organization in Japan and the amount "Based on Number of Expats” of the company / organization.
