School assistance for Suci in February 2021 is IDR 125,000 additional IDR 100,00 to support her family during the COVID-19 situation
I am glad that finally, I could penned-down this article. Like another month, this month is the same as before that the children who receive our school assistance had taken their monthly money. And I am grateful they are in good shape and still in high spirits to study hard to determine their dream. I like children who challenge their limits which means regardless of where they come from, school is number one to pursue a good future. I like the spirit that lives in their heart.

Talking about "spirit" that life in people who live in poverty and hard life, it completely something different from others who live in sound and comfort life and maybe it much more "struggle." Someone said, "Successful without struggling is no value in it." Does someone like these children could have a successful life someday? Definitely, I am no doubt about it! Nothing is impossible!👍
School assistance in February 2021 for Novi is IDR 175,000 an addition IDR 100,000 to support her family during the COVID-19 crisis - Photographed by Riche
Going back to what I had been experienced that most people looked down on me and doubt my dream to study at a university and got a degree because my father only earned about $4 a month for living. A dreamer and a crazier girl that's how they bullied me. Instead of going mad at them, I worked hard on my dream. A few years later a crazier girl went to study at a university then got a degree. Nowadays, this dreamer is still pursuing her academics.

Last Saturday, my dearest friend, Riche, sent me a message that the kids had come to Riche's in-law's house and took their money. Riche told me that now her family has stayed in her father-in-law temporarily because her house is under renovation now. So, the children visited Riche's in-law's house. But do not worry, the place is in the same village so that is not a big issue for the kids.
In February 2021, Novi received IDR 175,000 for her school assistance and an additional IDR 100,000 to support her family due to the coronavirus situation. Meanwhile, Uun and Suci got IDR 125,000 each of them, in addition, both received IDR 100,000 to support their family during the Covid-19 crisis.
During the COVID-19 situation, my husband and I decided to give additional money to support the kid's family. We do this action to give little help and hope they are still having a smile on the face in a tumultuous time. If you are following my another blog, The Journey of Ichi's Family, I wrote on how to make the 4-layer mask and mentioned that the COVID-19 crisis makes life harder for people who live in poverty; which one they choose, buying food or masks to protect their family from the Coronavirus. The link is here https://ichi-journey.blogspot.com/2021/02/making-diy-4-layer-mask-with-felt-as.html Moreover, some of the food ingredient prices go up due to the pandemic. Furthermore, last year we also gave little help to a down syndrome school in Indonesia to buy hand-wash and money to buy food for children who live in the school dormitory. Little acts for a big hope, that's what Ichikraft Give and Care can do.

Many thanks to my friend, Riche, for helping us to distribute the money for the children. Without her hands, we could not reach them. And thank you for reading my article. I hope you can also help people who need help. Just a little help and support, believe me, it becomes a big hope for them.
