The child is symbolic of aid given to the entire family. Before Judy became Sarjono's Foster Parent, the family struggled to survive on an income of $4.83 monthly. The father earns this income by doing odd jobs and one of his daughters also contributes to this income. This income is not enough to cover the food expenses. They have 2 plain meals of rice and some vegetables daily. The family lives in their own house built on their own land. It is a bamboo house which has a dirt floor but it does not have any win- dows nor inner ceiling. It is divided into 2 bedrooms and 1 kitchen. There is 1 simple bathroom and 1 well but there is no water closet in it. Their furniture consists of 2 bamboo beds and 1 bench. Judy's contribution of $17. a month brings the family a monthly cash grant, distribution of goods such a vitamins, blankets, towels, soap and other useful items, medical and dental care, the sustained guidance and counseling of social workers and the benefit of special programs. A strong emphasis is placed on education. All Foster Children (and their brothers and sisters if possible) must attend school . Vocational training courses given or supported by PLAN in some countries are available to Foster Children, their brothers and sisters and in some cases, their parents.
