I know, I am late to write an update despite the fact that those children have always gotten school assistance on the 20th of each month. This January 2023, they also came to Riche's house on 20th January 2023. Therefore, Riche sent me a message that evening. But, unfortunately, I was exhausted both physically and mentally. Yeah, for a year I had been preparing for my further education. As the consequence, my energy has been drained. Actually, since December 2022, I was at my limit yet I pushed my limit. So, today I must write the update even though I am still not fit.

This month (January 2023), Novi, Uun, and Suci got the same amount of money as the month before. Novi received IDR 300,000, meanwhile, Uun and Suci got IDR 175,000 each. In addition, each one of them has gotten IDR 100,000 to support their family. I hope they are able to spend the money wisely at least to buy textbooks, school shoes, or a school bag. I know, some of you may think this money is only a small amount. However, a small/ little thing would give them hope for a better future.

This month I sent a message through my dearest friend, Riche. I gave a piece of advice for Novi to learn a new thing such as taking a baking/ cooking course, sewing/ design, handicraft course et cetera. I also said if those courses are not available in the village where she lives, then gets experiences in the real life, for instance helping someone in the neighborhood who has a business. By helping cooking or making pastry part-time, or perhaps at the saloon, so she will obtain skills. With the skills Novi has, she will be able to find a job after graduating from high school, save money each month, and eventually will able to attend university. That is the main reason why I am eager to send this message. On top of that, I can not help her forever, so she must start to become an independent girl now. Indeed, I hope Novi gets a chance to study at a university, however, it is up to her to determine what she wants. Being born into a low-income family will make someone work harder and study furiously to reach a big dream. It is not piece of cake and needs years of work.

I do really hope, those children are able to have a better future by breaking the circle of poverty. I have believed that education is a passport to get a better life in the future, bringing us from nowhere to somewhere. Therefore, Uun, Suci, Novi, or any other children who have lived in poverty must study hard at school and work hard on their dream.
