The Gerobak Pintar project started by the director of Kinderland preschool Jakarta,  Mrs See Mun Suparno. As a philanthropist, she has always wanted to give back to the children of the poor community and as an educator herself, what better way to give back than to give back through education. Hence, the idea of giving access to a 'library of books' came up after discussing with Mrs Lily from Hope Indonesia. After further discussion on how to reach out to the poor and let them have easier access to these books, they both decided on a Mobile Library concept. The food cart or known as Gerobak inspired them to create Gerobak Pintar- Smart Library on Cart. Using this cart, volunteers and strory-tellers will be able to push it in and around small lanes, reaching the underprivileged children in the poor community. This Gerobak Pintar program bring stories to life with animated storytellers, videos, puppeteers and interesting storybooks for self-reading. Children will have access to a wide range of books, thus polishing up on their reading skills and eventually improving in their formal studies.
