"I leave a message to all my friends. The principles of courtesy and integrity must be held, not just a program. Our struggle to eradicate poverty is still long. There are still many things to fight for. But I really hope that these PKH HR will continue to help the community so that they can graduate, from being unable to become capable," Hasbi also advised.
