It's been a while, how are things going? I hope all of you are doing good! 🙂 Today I am going to share good news that the children who have been receiving our school assistance each month finally received their assistance for June 2024! Let's check it out!😊

On Friday 21 June 2024, my dearest friend, Riche, sent me a message that Uun, Suci, and Novi, received their money. This June, Uun and Suci got IDR 175,000 each while Novi received IDR 300,000. And IDR 100,000 each to support their family. I am glad to see all of them are in good shape. Moreover, they keep their spirit to work hard on their study.

My hope for Uun, Suci, and Novi: generally for all children who come from low-income families, they must believe education is the key to get a better future. Indeed, as I mentioned in the last update, I had seen many of them did not have faith in it. However, learning from my own experience, my father put my faith in education, "education is number one!" And it is not done overnight to achieve something beyond. Looking back at the day, when my father wanted to send me to university, "everyone" opposed  even though that decision did not have any relation to their life. Then my father passed away not long after I graduated from my first university. Everybody blamed me and accused me that I was the reason my father died because my education was costly. They said I was a looser, a village girl who live in imaginary world. Instead of giving up on my dream, I kept walking through those fire. And what I have been doing for years is not to prove they are wrong. What is my motivation? Well, I just want to achieve my dream. I do still remember, my father attended my graduation day long time ago. He had a big smile that I had ever seen since the horrible tragedy attacked him and he lost everything. I can not imagine how big his smile when he can attend my graduation again, here, in an alien world because it's beyond his imagination. Happy father's day! From this story what I am trying to say is that there is a mountain obstacle we will encounter when we build a bridge from scratch. Therefore, I hope those children able to understand that education is the hope to alter their life into a better one.
