Appreciation towards OOOMS for providing the following description:

Ffrash是OOOMS接受邀请参加的一个帮助印尼雅加达街头流浪儿童的项目。该项目由荷兰女性Gina Provo Kluit发起。OOOMS的任务是训练教导街头流浪儿童利用废旧物品生产产品，提高他们的工作技能，有利于他们找到工作。生产出的产品售卖的利润将赠与KDM流浪儿童支持机构。OOOMS在首次到了雅加达的时候，对这个城市中街道上和下水道中的巨大垃圾量印象深刻，在工作室，他们尝试了很多材料，比如塑料，玻璃，金属，等等，最终回收再生出可以使用并且美观的灯具，凳子，坐垫等物品。

这是一个好项目，同时也彰显了印尼雅加达政府和社会的不完善还有弊端。中国的垃圾处理同样问题重重。比如北京一直被垃圾所包围，我对四环，五环，六环上巨大的空地，垃圾满地，羊群在里面翻吃东西的场景印象很深刻。这些地方不远处，就是房价超高的城市，对比相当魔幻。开发方式和土地利用诚然存在弊端与缺陷。政府应该有决心并用铁腕实施垃圾分类回收并高效利用。

OOOMS has been invited to co-operate in a project to help former street children in Jakarta, Indonesia.

This project is called Ffrash and is initiated and organized by Gina Provo Kluit, a Dutch woman who is living in Jakarta.

The main assignment for OOOMS was to design a collection of interior products, by re-using waste material. Besides that we had to train former street children and teach them how to make these products. One of the goals was to improve their workshop skills and teach the youngsters the principles of design and entrepeneurship. By doing this they have a better chance of finding a job.

The profit generated by the sales of the Ffrash products will be used to support KDM, the shelter that provides the street children a home, education, attention and much more. This is also the place where the workshop has been set up.

Our first visit to Jakarta was in August 2012. During two weeks we’ve visited many interesting and sometimes smelly sites of the city. We noticed there is a tremendous amount of trash filling the streets and clogging the city’s sewer system. Most of our time we spend collecting as much information as possible about the different waste materials, and meeting all the parties involved, like the Dutch Embassy, Intercontinental and KLM.

Back at our studio we used all our spare time to work on the project. We executed many experiments involving plastics, glass, metal, microwave ovens, blenders and blowtorches. By the time we had to leave for Jakarta again we developed a large number of concepts and ideas and left with a flexible mindset to be prepared for the unexpected.

Our work in Jakarta has been a great experience with many challenges and surprises, but already a success on its own. We’ve bought machines, set up the workshop, made prototypes and trained the youngsters. The selected youngsters make a great team and rarely have we seen such enthusiasm and motivation!
