Yudi is also one of the Beneficiaries whose house is used as a fishing place. He admitted that it was very difficult to run a fish business. At Yudi's house there are many fish ponds that he made himself when he had time to run a fish business.
"I was also confused about why my business always went bankrupt and my fish died, now I know from Mr. Wanoto (Fisheries Instructor) that catfish cannot be full because it can die (due to satiation)," said Yudi.
Most of the Beneficiaries condition who participated in LAKON UTAMA activities were no longer in a state of restlessness as they were quite able to communicate and express their feelings to the Center officers.
Training Beneficiaries to socialize, communicate, be confident, have the motivation to be able to work and have a future are things that officers do so that beneficiaries can improve their social functions as a provision to run their lives.
