MoSA Hands Over Wheelchair Assistance to Grandpa Fataha
TERNATE (13 August 2021) - The Ministry of Social
Affairs through Social Rehabilitation Center “Wasana Bahagia” in Ternate
provides family-based Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) services to
grandfathers with physical disabilities.
Starting from community
reports, Wasana Bahagia in Ternate conducted an assessment of Abdul Fataha
(65), a resident of Koloncucu Village, Ternate City. Grandpa Fa has been
paralyzed by a stroke since 2007. He lives with his children and granddaughter.
Grandpa Fa could only sit on the bed every day. He was sad because he could no
longer carry out his activities as the marbot
of the mosque.
Located at Grandpa Fa's home, Wasana
Bahagia in Ternate provided ATENSI assistance to grandfather Fa in the form of
wheelchairs and special diapers for the elderly.
The assistance was handed
over by the Head of the Center, Udan Suheli. Grandpa Fa Udan hopes that the
wheelchair he received will be useful. "Keep the spirit, Grandpa Fa, can
sometimes sunbathe in his wheelchair," said Udan.
While crying, grandfather
Fa expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Social Affairs, "Thanks for dofu-dofu (read: thank you very much),
we want to be able to pray at the old mosque".
