Last night my dearest friend, Riche, sent me a message, a video, and some pictures of the children who got their school assistance for this month. I was happy to see them are in good shape. Every month, those kids come to Riche's house to take their money so that they are able to buy something to support their school or paying the school tuition. This is the reason why we help them. I do not want children in the village to drop out, marriage at such young age, and living in poverty. I want to break that circle.

This month is an amazing month where I got some good news. The first is about my brother's graduation, the second is about Uun and Suci, both of them are also graduate from Elementary school which means they are now preparing a new journey to study at secondary school! I am proud of them!🤗👍 I want my brother to stay at school and so are the children (Uun, Suci, Novi). What I have believed school is important to get a good future. If there are any others people who say that school is not important, what I can say, "Good luck!." In the world where I came from, school is the key to change our life. Therefore, even though Uun and Suci come from a family that has low income, zero facilities, I have a big hope that with a stay in school, study, get a degree, they will able to change their life far better than today.

For now, in June and July, Uun and Suci, both still get IDR 125,000 each for their school assistance. And IDR 100,000 each to support their family due to the coronavirus situation. Start from August 2021, Uun and Suci will receive IDR 175,000 each for their school assistance since they will be attending secondary school. And for the Covid-19 aid is still the same amount, IDR 100,000 each.

Meanwhile, for Novi, this month is the same as another month that she got IDR 175,000 and IDR 100,000 to support her family during the pandemic. But next year, she will attend high school! Of course, her monthly school assistance will increase by about IDR 250,000 (we haven't decided yet).

Another good news is from my friend, Riche, who has received the Covid-19 vaccine as Indonesia's government plans to open schools face to face. In order to do that, all teachers must vaccinate. Believe me, many students miss going back to school, studying in class. In the school that I have known, they have vaccinated its students. Do not think that online school in the remote village is the same as in the modern country. You say home-based learning, yes, if we have computer/ laptop, internet, but in reality, my friend, Riche, with all the teachers in her school has to visit their student's house one by one every day. Therefore, the vaccination program for teachers will help them in the education system.
