| Population of the Campuses. The number of students � both orphaned and parented � Indonesian, Haitian Guyanese, North American, European and East Asian elderly, staff, eventual graduates and foreign guests and exchange participants will be limited only by the accommodations available on each campus. With 60 small homes, each capable of housing five-six people (four children, one-two adult/s), an elderly facility with cottages for 60, an eventual timeshare complex for 18, six centers capable of housing four adults each, two dormitories, a youth hostel and an elder hostel, each with 20 people, and a guest house capable of housing an additional 20 adults, each campus is planned to accommodate a maximum of 560 people. Whereas 120 of those beds are designed for visitors, the permanent population would be approximately 380; 240 of which would be children, 60 seniors. The sewage systems of each campus will be built to support a population of 600. Yayasan Orphans International Indonesia will be open to the people of North Sulawesi and, aside from its inhabitants, will be used most by the villagers of Remboken. The students enrolled in each institute will consist of gifted, parented children living off-campus, and the orphaned children living in the small homes. The client base for each orphanage will be comprised of children living in the Celebes Islands, Haiti and Guyana who have been abandoned or are living in such abject poverty that their families can no longer keep them. The client population currently far outweighs the available resources, public or private, and little progress is expected in the next two decades due to social and political instability. The anticipated child/student population of each campus will be comprised as follows: Indonesia Haiti Guyana Manadoese-Indonesian 30% Haitian 90% East Indian-Guyanese 35% Minahasan-Indonesian 30% International/Refugee 10% Afro-Guyanese 35% Balinese-Indonesian 10% ____ Amerindian-Guyanese 10% Javanese-Indonesian 10% 100% Chino-Guyanese 5% Chinese-Indonesian 10% Euro-Guyanese 5% International/Refugee 10% International/Refugee 10% 100% 100% The categories of residents on both campuses will be comprised as follows: Orphans 240 41% Staff 150 25% Elderly 60 16% Other Students 60 10% Visitors 50 8% 560 100% The client base for the 60 seniors will be 30 Indonesian or Guyanese elderly, living in double cot-tages, and 30 international, predominantly American seniors, living in single cottages. Whereas most American clients will get U.S. Social Security payments, they will be charged a nominal monthly fee for room, board and services (approximately US$1,000); the average geriatric care facility costs in the United States in 2001 were US$[ ]. Indonesian clients will be primarily seniors with no income or families; they will be fully subsidized by Orphans International, in keeping with our mandated intergenerational mission. These elderly must be over 65 years of age. Ten percent of each campus will be available to international, preferably English-speaking, students. These students will benefit the larger student population by providing inter-action with both North American language and culture. Many of these children may be refugees from war-torn countries around the world. |
