Erosaman is Getting More Comfortable

Erosaman (July 31, 2022) - The National Children's Day 2022 series was held by the Ministry of Social Affairs, not only in East Lombok which was lined up as the location for the highlight of the event but also at several points including the location of remote indigenous communities.

Erosaman, Papua was one of the locations for the 2022 HAN series. This was because the Minister of Social Affairs wants all children, including no exception, to have the same rights, the right to be protected, to be free, to be creative, to have activities, and be happy.

Arman and Salfina are very happy now that their village is bright and there is internet also. Arman and Salfina are only two of dozens of children in their village who have benefited from the assistance provided by MoSA.

Erosaman was one of three villages in Asmat Regency, Papua that received assistance from a social center complete with other supporting facilities such as solar panel lighting, clean water, books, and other learning facilities as well as the internet. Managed and cared for by the village head, this social center is used by the children to play and learn daily.

Their joy increased because on the commemoration of National Children's Day (HAN) in 2022, Erosaman village became one of the places where the HAN commemoration was held in Asmat Regency. During the week they participate in various series of activities starting from morning exercise, learning to bathe and brush teeth, learning to read and count, coloring, watching TV together, eating together, playing ball, and playing other traditional games.

Accompanied by their school teacher, the children enthusiastically participated in health education on how to wash their hands properly, take a clean bath with soap, always maintain a clean and healthy lifestyle and eat nutritious food.

Children in Erosaman village at this year's HAN commemoration activity also received assistance with school uniform packages, books, nutritious food and drink packages, traditional game equipment as well as clothing and toiletries packages that they can use every day.
