My friend Ali is a refugee in a UN camp in Jakarta. I've known him for about 18 months and we sometimes have calls where I help him to keep hope in a desperate situation.

After doing translation for the refugees in his camp, he decided to start a school for the children in the camp. It is so successful that he has had to find a new space. Here is a description of the current problem in his own words.

My name is Ali, and I am an English teacher. I have been teaching Refugees English in Indonesia, from different backgrounds for more than six years. In Indonesia Refugees can't go to Indonesian schools and they are far from education here.

Recently we decided to open a school here for Refugees. We planned to open the school using money a person promised to us so we could buy chairs, but at the last minute he let us down.

We need to open the school but cannot use the space without the chairs and equipment. The parents walk their children a long way to get to school and they are expecting it to be open .

The school’s name is Hope School. We rented our new home, and it is unusable without chairs and fan. Are you able to help us?
