Commemorating HAN 2022, MoSA Calls for Playing with Children
LOMBOK (July 30, 2022) - Playing is a means for children to grow and
develop more optimally. By playing, children develop imagination, cooperation,
empathy, communication, negotiation, motoric, cognitive, and social-emotional
development.
Following a directive from the Minister of Social
Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, that children need to get space to play and preserve
traditional games, MoSA through Nipotowe Center Palu in collaboration with the
Lenek District Government, PKH Companions, and KKN students at the Mataram
State Islamic University held activities with children in the form of outbound
on Thursday morning, (07/28/2022) at the Wirang Baya Lenek Pesiraman Field,
Lenek District, East Lombok.
Playing with children is a series of activities to
commemorate National Children's Day (HAN) 2022 in Lombok Regency which is held
in all Districts.
From Lenek District, more than 200 children participated
in playing activities with children, with age groups ranging from kindergarten,
elementary, junior, and senior high schools.
