Yesterday night my dearest friend, Riche, who has always helped me to distribute the school assistance money, sent me a message that the kids came to her house and had taken their monthly money. For you who have followed our article, I believe you knew why the kids have always visited Riche's house each month to take the school assistance. Since Riche got pregnant and now has rising a baby, she made a decision to not travel each month to distribute school assistance money. She used to visit those children's houses in order to give the money directly every month on a specific date. However, since the village road isn't safe which means in bad condition and not safe for a pregnant woman on the road, she decided that those kids must come to her house and take the school assistance money each month. Well, I think it is not a big deal for those kids, because their brother or sister has always accompanied them as we concern about the children's safety. You know, although, it is a tiny village, it is still too dangerous for children to go outside after 6 PM alone and bring some money with them. So, yesterday, Novi and Suci came together with Novi's sister, while Uun came alone with her brother as she needed to attend another event.

This month is special for Uun and Suci as they are now sit in secondary school. Yes, their journey has just begun at this level. I am proud of them! And it is time to rise their school assistance. Starting in August 2021, their monthly money is upward since there are lots of things they must pay for their study. That's why many children in the village who live in poverty have a small chance to study at school even though they are smart or excellent in school. Why? No one would not offer scholarships even if they have a good academic record. No matter how good we are at school, if we do not have money, we can go to higher education. Yeah, I, myself, experienced all those things in the past. How hard I worked on my study until got a good grade, well what can I say, there was no one from the institution whether our government, our authority, offered a scholarship for me, well at least free for monthly school fee. That was the thing I encountered when studied at schools in the remote village. So, to be successful in the future, break the poverty circle, those 3 children must work hard on their own. Otherwise, that circle will repeat from generation to generation.

Anyway, how much money did they collect? All three of them got the same amount of money; Uun, Suci, and Novi, each received IDR 175,000 for school assistance and in addition, each got IDR 100,000 to support their family during the pandemic. With this little help, I hope they can find a little hope to continue their study by staying at school. Another thing is even though we give them a little support for their family, at least IDR 100,000 is enough to buy rice each month. 

School assistance for Uun this month (August 2021) is IDR 175,000 and IDR 100,000 to support her family due to the COVID-19 situation - Photographed by Riche

Many thanks to my friend, Riche, who helps me to distribute school assistance each month. I wish the best for my dearest friend and her family. Many blessings for her!
