Introduction
Childhood experiences contribute a determination of a person’s future in a great number. If a child less than five years old does not get an adequate amount of nutrition, neither his physical and intellectual ability will grow optimally. Likewise, if the child does not receive any opportunity of good education, he will only find a little chance to be successful in his future life, when he will be an adult.

Children from underprivileged families usually experience the above problems. Besides the inadequate nutrition, it is hard for them to get a healthy condition of life and an opportunity to receive good education. As a result, these children in the future will grow into unproductive people (unemployed people who cannot get proper jobs and they will stay under poverty condition which tends to lead them into bigger possibility of doing crime). If we see the macro factor, the unfortunate condition of the underprivileged families will create a high social cost that all the community level should responsible for it.
"HappyLand" Learning Center offers a non-profit community service approach, which specifically help to "pull out" children from underprivileged families so that they can get better education and also get access to make use of more sufficient educational facilities.
"HappyLand" Learning Center also provides various supporting programs to increase the quality of human resources who serve the underprivileged children (those are schoolteachers, the coordinators and the boards of orphanages, children service activists, etc.).
"HappyLand" Learning Center acts as "network knot" that connect the donors with the underprivileged children who need support, and creates collaboration with various institutions, which concern with programs to "pull out" the underprivileged children in Indonesia.
"HappyLand" Learning Center is now located only in Semarang, Central Java, but it has managed both national and international networking, and has been connected to various institutions and non-profit organizations. In the future, "HappyLand" Learning Center will be extended by founding branches in some other cities in Indonesia, so that it can serve more underprivileged children in Indonesia.
