The aim of the Dutch alumni is to raise funds for the renovation of the building of the SMA Gabungan.
This relates to point 6 of the school's improvement plan.

If you are willing to sponsor the revitilization of the SMA Gabungan, one way of doing this, is by donating via our bank account:

Dutch alumni of the SMA Gabungan (and others) at work to collect money for the SMA Gabungan, by selling Papua articles during the pasar malam of Zeewolde in 2007.

After their return to the Netherlands, the Dutch alumni formed a coordinating committee, the "Werkgroep SMU Gabungan"; - this was triggered by an article by Addy Wils in "De Telegraaf". The Werkgroep collects money for the revitilization of the SMA Gabungan and they are in control of the resulting fund. Also they coordinate the contacts with the Management Board of the SMA Gabungan in Jayapura.

The Sponsor Loterij helps - a major contribution!
In 2001 the "Werkgroep SMU Gabungan" have contacted the so-called Sponsor Bingo Loterij, who agreed to contribute. Thus, people in the Netherlands (or other people with a Dutch bank account) can sponsor the revitilization of SMA Gabungan, by participating in the Sponsor Bingo Loterij.
Presently about 50 people are playing this lottery every month and the resulting income from the Sponsor Bingo Loterij supplies a very important continuous contribution to the SMA Gabungan fund.
The rules of the game are: half of the price you pay to participate in the lottery goes into the SMA Gabungan fund. However, if you win, the price is fully yours! Interested? - send a mail to smugabungan@hotmail.com.
