On this occasion, the Special Working Visit of Commission VIII of the DPR RI in the context of Supervision of the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Program and Improvement of Social Rehabilitation Centers in West Java during the V trial period of 2021 - 2022 handed over assistance to PPKS (Social Welfare Service Recipients)

The Chair of the Commission VIII DPR RI and her entourage symbolically handed over ATENSI to Beneficiaries at the Wyata Guna Center in Bandung, West Java Province, worth a total of IDR 95,412,000,-. Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) is provided in the form of meeting the needs of decent living, accessibility aids, and entrepreneurship assistance for PPKS with Disabilities at the Wyata Guna Center in Bandung.

During this specific visit, the Director General of Social Rehabilitation, Pepen Nazaruddin, said that the Centers were integrated from 41 Centers to 31 Centers whose functions were changed to become multi-service centers, which previously only focused on certain clusters so that the Centers could reach PPKS who need a variety of services.

"God willing, the Center will continue to grow in such a way as to serve all beneficiaries and Wyata Guna Center is ready to perform any service function," said Director General of Social Rehabilitation, Pepen Nazaruddin.

The Chair of the Commission VIII DPR RI Team, My Esti Wijayati said that MoSA could quickly change including the organizational structure so what was initially called Balai is now a Center.

"This is not just talking about one of the tasks of MoSA, but now the role of Centers throughout Indonesia is used to spearhead the success of MoSA," said Esti Wijayati.

A member of Commission VIII of the DPR RI, I Komang Koheri, hopes that all components of society, the government from villages, regencies/provinces, and the Centers can work together to serve the unfortunate people.

One of the Beneficiaries who received ATENSI in the form of entrepreneurial support selling fruit juice drinks, Resty Nursyam (31) who is a physically disabled person in the leg area, has been selling fruit juice for 4 months since her husband was laid off due to Covid-19.
