Passing it forward in Sumatra, Indonesia September, 22, 2022. We helped some girls with a scholarship. Then they used part of the money we donated to help others, including 63 year old Grandmother Rahma.

Today I visited Rahma's grandmother's house. She was an old grandmother who had a stroke. 

She has been unable to walk for two years, half of his body (right side) is paralyzed. She lives with her daughter. I gave groceries and a little money to Grandma Rahma to buy medicine. 

I said that this assistance was given by my friend from America, she was very happy and moved. She says Thank you so much to both of you Marc And Rupak. She also prays that you are always protected wherever you are...

Our colleague Rupak found these 3 young Muslim ladies volunteering at a Hindu temple in Java as guides. Rupak wrote this:

I meant three young women at Prambunan Pemple, They are from Sumatra and they are studying English education and struggling to pay the tuition. All speak very good English are they are kind, they showed me around the temple. I will send more details and I have alot of pics of me and them. If you can help with there school expenses $100 dollars each per semester, total $300. (They each received a $100 scholarship, more coming laster in early 2023).

Here is some information about Ami, Ika and Anisa followed by a  video and photos:


Ami:


My family


I am married and have one son. He is 5 years old, he is a good boy and really cares about other people. I am very grateful to have him in my life. And he has just started kindergarten school. but I couldn't drop him off on his first day of school. because I have to do an internship and stay one month in Jogja. it makes my heart so broken and sad. but it's ok all for a better future. I want to thank my husband for helping me in many things such as taking care of the house, taking care of children, working and others.


My College


I am one of the students of English education at Merangin University in Jambi Province.


I am currently undergoing an internship for one month at Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta.


I am very happy and grateful for this, because here I can meet many people from all over the world and can talk and tell many things with them. And i can practice my english, because i need people to improve my english.


You know what's the most fun thing I've found here? is that I can meet Mr.Rupak from America. It’s really nice to meet you, we talked about many things, about life, about my college and the temple, took photos and videos and walked together. He is a very kind and caring person.


He helped us with our college problems, gave us money to pay for our semesters. he said that this help came from his boss named Mr. Marck Gold. I want to say hi, Hi Mr.Marck. Very nice to meet you, thank you for helping me. I'm very grateful for that. May you always be healthy and happy and all your affairs are eased.


And Mr. Ruv. Thanks to you too. May you always be healthy, protected and happy. your work is very noble. me and my friend are very lucky to have met you, and hope we can meet some other time.


About my college, I'm currently undergoing semester 7 from August to December. At this point, I'm having a bit of trouble with my tuition fees. Because at the beginning of the semester I had to pay as much as IDR 1,650,000 for my internship fees to Jogja. all that money had to be deposited into my campus along with transportation costs for the trip.


Of course the money does not include my living expenses in Jogja. It is very difficult to ask my husband for fees, because my son is also going to start his schooling. But he's always willing to help with my school fees. And I'm very grateful for that.


After one month of internship at Jogja, we will return to campus to continue the next stage. I'm going to be an intern at a school to become an English teacher. And of course it will cost more. That is a number of IDR 650,000. And I also have to pay my semester fees of IDR 2,100,000 and the total is IDR 2,750,000. And that's a lot in my opinion.


A little difficult for me because we have to pay for our lives too, especially for my son. But my husband will strive for it, and God will always help.


And on this day Mr.Marc helped us and gave us money to pay for the semester. I am very lucky today, Thank you very much Mr.Marc and Mr.Rupak. I can't repay your kindness, but God will repay you by giving you more.


Please always be healthy and happy, may you both always be successful in this very noble mission. Only prayer I can give. Once again, Thank you very much πŸ™πŸ»
