Hi everyone, welcome back to our project update! Each month, I’ve made my best effort to keep you informed about our progress. We’ve been working on this project for around 10 years, and we remain committed to assisting children from low-income families, helping them maintain their spirit for studying. Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty, as I firmly believe that education is the key to achieving a better life in the future.
Yesterday, my dearest friend Riche sent me a message that Novi, Uun, and Suci received their monthly assistance. Each month, the three of them visit Riche's house to collect their monthly allowance. I was happy to see pictures of them, knowing that they are safe and sound. The most important thing is their health; being "healthy" is everything. It’s amazing how fast they’ve grown up☺️ Now, they are big girls!❤️ I still remember a few years ago when they were just little girls🙂.

Riche shared wonderful news about Novi. She will graduate from high school this year! 👊🎉🤩 While waiting for her certificate, Novi is working at a café and planning to secure a job at a company once she receives the certificate. I couldn't be prouder of her! 🥰✌️ I wish her all the success in this exciting new chapter. Seeing our project goals come to fruition fills me with joy. My hope is that in the coming year, we can help more children in the village break free from the cycle of poverty.
If some people ask why I am pursuing my academics, especially at my age (no longer in my 20s), my answer is simple: I have been chasing my dream since elementary school. After my father passed away many years ago, one of my dreams was to send my only brother, who has Down syndrome, to the best school possible for him, and I am proud to say that I achieved that dream. But I have other dreams as well. I want to help more children in the village break out of the cycle of poverty. To achieve this, I aim to assist these children in getting an education, ensuring they can at least complete high school. To do this, I have to get a higher education. I have to help myself before helping others.
