Other times, they work with a local community that has given its support to the project.\u003cbr/\u003eGraffiteach started in February 2013, and within a year, they have completed 20 graffiti projects around the capital.\u003cbr/\u003e37-year-old Ronny Pratama, who works as a creative director at an advertising and digital agency, is one of the founders of the volunteer project.\u003cbr/\u003eHe believed that graffiti is a perfect fit for teaching street children .\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are using graffiti as a medium for teaching because street children  have a close relationship with graffiti. These children  operate on street corners near to walls that are often covered with graffiti showing obscenity and gang names. Thus we come up with the idea of turning graffiti into something useful,\" says Ronny.\u003cbr/\u003eThe project recently began working with a non-governmental group to hold open teaching sessions in public places. \u003cbr/\u003eThey are inviting large groups of street children to learn English, and are providing alternative ways to educate children that cannot afford to go to school. \u003cbr/\u003eThe founders have also approached the city administration to discuss ways to decriminalise graffiti with educational purposes.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition, some companies have shown their interest in supporting Graffiteach as part of their corporate social responsibility programme.\u003cbr/\u003eGraffiti artists create artwork to teach English, maths, science, health and culture.\u003cbr/\u003eIn this teaching session, street children are learning about the cultural diversity in Indonesia. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The theme we're covering is Indonesian culture. Indonesia is a vast country, but we are seeing increasing divisiveness in our society. Therefore these children  should learn that even though we have many cultural traditions, we must remain united as a nation,\" says Ronny.\u003cbr/\u003eThe aim of the events are to have fun, and enjoy learning and being creative. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of them is Nur Robiatul. She had to leave school three years ago and started to make money by begging from people on the street.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I am so happy to be able to get together with my friends and learn about things that I did not know before such as English and culture through graffiti,\" says 15-year-old Nur.\u003cbr/\u003eAs a growing metropolitan city, Jakarta has had to deal with complex social issues such as poverty, overcrowding and urban migration.\u003cbr/\u003eThese factors often lead to children from poor families being abandoned, unable to attend schools and ending up working on the streets.\u003cbr/\u003eIndonesia Ministry of Social Affairs estimates that there are about eight thousand street children working on the streets of Jakarta.\u003cbr/\u003eLeading child activist, Seto Mulyadi welcomes voluntary projects such as Graffiteach, which provide alternative education for street children. \u003cbr/\u003eBut he is concerned with the lack of appreciation by the city administration for educational graffiti.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Jakarta, all types of graffiti are often erased by city officials within days or weeks after they are created to maintain a clean look of the capital.\u003cbr/\u003eSeto would like to see a turnaround in the administration's policy towards social projects that bring positive change through graffiti.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have to support this project, and we have to think about how to find more space to extend the work. I hope that the government can provide special, large city walls for street children  to take part in this activity,\" says Seto.\u003cbr/\u003eThese volunteer street teachers hope that Graffiteach will motivate street children in the Indonesian capital to continue learning beyond the formal school environment.\u003cbr/\u003eA compilation book has recently been published to highlight the project's achievement and maintain public support.\u003cbr/\u003eThe project founders are currently looking into expanding the volunteer work to other parts of the country.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eJakarta - 22 March 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
