If you are following Ichikraft Give and Care activities, you must know that since 2015 we are trying to help villager children that are living in poverty. Before it, in 2013-2015, I had tried to provide children books for villager children at 2 different regions/locations. One location was successful, unfortunately suddenly my friend who helped me to set up a small library in his house passed away and I stopped this program. However, I have been trying to help some villagers kids to reach their dream for a better life in the future.

Might be you are wondering, why I have to write an article for this kind of activity, right? In 2013 or 2014 (I forgot which year) my husband and I asked our local library for books. At the time, they needed to write "the name" of my activities. You know, when people do something donation or helping others, they put their acts in one name. At the point, we just realized that we need " a name" for what we are doing and write articles for it. Indeed, some people do not like it and said that I am showing off something and some others think that I get the benefits. In fact, none of my friends or family knows about our social work, unless they work with me. Writing Ichikraft Give and Care activities, at least once a month, it gains trust between me and my friend who helps me to distribute the money every month and for the family who receives assistance from us. Besides,  we have to be careful with a scam. By reading my article I hope you know that I am a real person, and the kids are also real. Furthermore, I would be grateful if could inspire other people to do the same jobs. Fo me, personally, I would rather do something to help others who need help rather than chit chat on social media. If we are talking about my article, in 2013 some kind of formal organization took disadvantage to me. They use one of my articles to get funds without acknowledging me as its writer. All my articles come from my hard work and writing is a part of works too. After it happened, I deleted its article. So yeah, instead of getting benefits people use my article to make their own profit.

School assistance for this September; IDR 125.000; for Suci; IDR 100.000; to support her family during the pandemic - Photographed by Riche

This month as the month before, the kids come and get the money at Riche's house. Novi received IDR 175.000; for her school assistance, and IDR 100.000; to support her family during the pandemic. Uun and Suci received IDR 125.000; each for their school assistance and IDR 100.000; each to support their family during the pandemic. They use the money to provide online school every month. Again, do not think that online school in a small village as the same in the city or modern country. In the third country, many students are struggling with this situation. There are not only the students, many teachers for example Riche, she is also struggling too. And I am proud of the kids also my dearest friend, Riche.

I hope everyone could become strong in this unprecedented crisis. Helping each other, and do not let your neighbor starving because they lose their jobs or any difficulties life because of the situation. If you could share your knowledge or giving a new skill to other people it would be great; such as giving free courses. Stay safe, we can get through this together 😊👍
