SIGI (25 November 2021) - The announcement of the results of the selection of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) Enlisted Candidates in Palu, Central Sulawesi on Wednesday (24/11), became a blessing in itself for the married couple Busa Lawa and Olif, who are Beneficiary Families (KPM) of Family Hope Program (PKH) from Sungku Village, South Kulawi District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi.

 

Their first child, Febriyanto, was one of 213 people who were declared to have graduated and will attend education as a TNI candidate for the next seven months.

 

"Today, God has changed your fate, my friend. One day, when you return as a TNI soldier, your steadfastness, your patience, even your humility, will never change. From you, I learned that miracles exist," said the PKH Facilitator in South Kulawi District, Azis Wilkerson.

 

He said that Febriyanto's intention to become the TNI was taken very seriously. He also did the mentoring process approximately two months before the registration day.

 

"Thank God for allowing me to be your companion, who had accompanied me for about two months before registering. From watching you run, restop, push-ups, to teaching you to swim from scratch," he said.

 

With the acceptance of Febriyantho as a prospective TNI soldier, Azis advised, not to forget his parents, siblings (Lairut Laii Ruth Nunca and Yosis Tuda), who have sacrificed a lot, as well as relatives and everyone who helped in the selection process until he was declared graduated.

 

"Remember, your mother will be very proud. She never expected to give birth to a child who would later become a TNI soldier, become the pride of the family," concluded Azis with full of emotion.

 

Meanwhile, PKH Coordinator for Central Sulawesi Region 1, Saiful Bakri, expressed his pride. According to him, this mentoring process proves that PKH HR does not only focus on assistance in receiving social assistance but also includes attention, in the form of mentoring KPM children who have potential.

 

"Thank God, there are KPM PKH children who have graduated as TNI. It is a matter of pride that PKH assistants are not only assistants for social assistance, but more than what a companion should do," said Saiful.

Furthermore, said Saiful, that the task of the assistant in the future must be more observant to see the potential that exists in KPM children, "Give them space, opportunities and encourage KPM children to pursue their dreams," he said.

In the future, he hopes that many outstanding KPM children will emerge, not only as TNI soldiers but also in other fields.

"Hopefully in the future, many KPM children will be born who can give pride to the family and the region," concluded Saiful hopefully.
