Last Friday, my dearest friend, Riche, sent me a message that Suci, Uun, and Novi came to her house and received their monthly assistance. I am happy to see they came together and I could see that they were in good shape which made me relief as you know, the cases of COVID-19 recently have increased in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. And Riche mentioned this time it was kinda late to distribute the money as she went on vacation. For me, it is not a big issue at all. Everybody needs to take a leave and spend time with family. Maybe only me who has always been busy with studying, and has never gone anywhere... just last Friday evening I went out with some friends. It was my friend's idea as she knew I felt stressed so she asked me to go out. And I was happy that day as I also shared my happiness by giving my friends a pack of chocolate. Yeah, I used to exchange snacks/ foods each festive season with my neighbors in Singapore. If you are following my another blog, you easily notice it because I wrote those happiness on it. So, as now I am in Belgium I still bring the culture that I learned in Singapore.๐คฉ

Alright, this month Novi got school assistance IDR 300,000 and IDR 100,000 to support her family. While Uun and Suci, each received IDR 175,000 and IDR 100,000 each to support their families. I do really hope they have never given up on what they want for their future. I hope they have some courage to keep moving forward, working hard, and keeping strong no matter what happens. Because I believe that education is the key to getting a better life in the future. Just last Tuesday I had a presentation with my group about capital and the conclusion that microcredit has a positive impact on profit (not significant) and no influence on consumption. Then my Professor asked what policies to change that. Well, the only thing in my mind was education, giving people who live in poverty (take microcredit) education such as skill set training, or training program along with the loan in order to increase the profit and eventually lift up their living standard (increase consumption) and go to school. If you remember, my last article mentioned that I want to give training programs for poor people so they would obtain skills. Of course, the goal is to break the cycle of poverty. I know it is not easy it could take years for me to make it happen, therefore I keep studying because I want to go beyond just working. So, my hope in this project by giving school assistance, these children will be able to hold at least a high school certificate so they can get a job after graduation. If they still have a desire to upgrade their education level, they can save some money and go to university. And the starting point is to bring them up until high school.
