Today I am going to update our project. Yes, we have been working on this project since 2013 and I am so proud as these children work hard on their studies although they encounter circumstances. This is our contribution to creating a better world with a small act to help others, for those who are willing to study as I believe school is the key to break the cycle of poverty.
I am able to write this update on time as today I have a little time to do it. Well, literally I do not have weekends or holidays. Last summer holiday I spent all my time finishing my research which was my research paper. After it was done, I needed to work on finding another topic for my next research which is my thesis topic. And just last Friday I got approval for my thesis topic. Actually, when I proposed my research topic for my research paper, I was preparing it as my thesis. However, I could not control external factors, hence I decided to find another topic for my thesis. Yes, I made a major decision in June this year.

This evening my dearest friend, Riche, sent me a message that Uun, Novi, and Suci, they have gotten their monthly assistance. I am happy to see that all of them are doing fine. Each month on the 20th, the girls come to Riche's house to receive their school assistance. After the children got their money, Riche would give me an update including the pictures. Why does Riche take their pictures and send those pictures to me? The reason is to prove that she is doing her job. Put another way, it is to gain trust. At first, I did not want to place the pictures even did not want to write either, however at the time we received some donations, therefore I had to give them evidence that we were doing our work on this project. And this is our contribution to creating a better world. A small act for a big hope.
Same as previous month, Uun, Suci, and Novi received the same amount of money, IDR 300,000 each to support their school with an additional IDR 100,000 to support their families. If you are following our project's update each month, last month I announced that Uun and Suci graduated from secondary school and they attend high school in this new academic year. It is the reason why both get the same amount of money as Novi gets. Meanwhile, for the additional money, the amount is still the same which is IDR 100,000 each to support their families. It is not much but I do hope it could ease their living expenses, at least they could use it to purchase rice.
Thank you for reading our update. And many thanks to my dearest friend, Riche, who has always helped me to distribute the money for the children. It is a valuable partnership on this project. Without her, it's virtually impossible to reach them.
