This study ducusses anak pinggiran who survive for life in the city of Jakartawhich is growing into a capitalistic city. The existence of such children in big cities,especially in the cities of developing countries, as a matter of fact, has been a globalphenomenon, that means their presence in such cities is almost unavoidable. The term ofanal: pinggiran here refers to urban children Who because of poverty have got very badliving conditions and very limited access to societal resources, such as education and playgrounds, provided by the city. Anak pinggiz-an covers two groups of poor childrensurviving for life in Jakarta, namely street children and those living in slum areas. Amongthousanm of such chddren found in Jakarta, some are recruited by Sanggar Anal: Akar,one of the non-govemmental institutions which takes care of the children?s life. Thosewho are recruited are then called anak Sanggar.Sanggar recruits the children and gathers them in some rumah terbulaz (openhouses) situated close to the locations where the children live or survive. The children ofthe commtmities around the open houses are called basic C0¢'lllI?llII\ili¢8~, and so farSanggar has had coordination with five basic communities, namely Jatinegara, Cakung,Penas Lama, Rawa Panjang, and Bantar Gebang Bckasi, Within these communities thechildren are tnined and educated with an intention of elaborating and developing theirpotentials. Periodically. usually on Sundays, they are brought to Sanggar, a bigger openhouse, which has been the center of activities and information In Sanggar the childrenhave some exercises in, among other things, dramatnrgy, music, journalism, and Englishclasses. The children are freed to choose what activity(ies) they prefer to join. Thefreedom of choosing activity(ies) is intended to create children?s intrinsic motivationbecame such a motivation will be able to make them join the activities happily, seriomiy,and fill! of enthusiasm.This study is intended to observe and explore the changes of the ehi1dren'sbehavior and attitude afler being trained and educated through the various activitieswhich take place in Sanggar and other places as well.
