"Yes, special treatment for Orphans affected by Covid-19. In addition, for people with visual sensory disabilities, we have prepared 1,000 adaptive guide sticks," said Rahmat.

Deputy Chairman of Commission VIII DPR RI, Marwan Dasopang said that his party appreciated the performance of the Ministry of Social Affairs. "We appreciate the performance of the Ministry of Social Affairs. A touching and useful program. The goal is no longer just to assist, but to create beneficiaries who produce well," he said.

 

He also emphasized that Commission VIII of the DPR RI will continue to oversee the Ministry of Social Affairs programs that lead to the independence of the beneficiaries.

 

In line with this, Muhammad Irfan Hakim (16 years old), a person with a disability who is a recipient of ATENSI entrepreneurship assistance, admitted that he was happy to be allowed to have a welding workshop business.

This business was chosen because he had an experience of not being able to finance the repair of his wheelchair, finally, he learned to repair his wheelchair by learning to weld himself.

"Yes, I want to repair my wheelchair but that is expensive, so I learned to repair it myself. From there I thought I wanted to open a welding workshop business", he explained.

Even though he has to go to school while working, he hopes that from this assistance he can chase his dream of owning a three-wheeled motorbike and his own house.

This activity was attended by the Deputy Regent of Tabanan, I Made Edi Wirawan, and the Head of the Bali Provincial Social Office, I Dewa Gede Mahendra Putra, and other invitees.
