The Working Visit of the Minister of Social Affairs to the "Toddopuli" Children's Center
MAKASSAR (20 April 2021) – The Minister of Social
Affairs Tri Rismaharini paid a working visit to the "Toddopuli"
Children's Center in Makassar.
Tri Rismaharini
accompanied by the Director General of Social Rehabilitation, Harry Hikmat saw
first-hand the ATENSI Creation Center (SKA) belonging to the Toddopuli
Children's Center in Makassar. Among the several SKAs prepared by the Center,
the Minister of Social Affairs visited "Toddopuli" Children’s Center Café
and had time to chat and provide motivation to the beneficiaries.
"Maintain trust, don't repeat it, because you have a chance to
succeed and be successful. It's lying when only certain people are allowed to succeed and be successful," said Tri Rismaharini.
"People maybe
wrong, may fall, but if that person falls for the second time, then it's called
like a fool," she continued.
Risma plans to open
opportunities for the beneficiaries who are currently participating in
rehabilitation to continue to hone their skills and even open opportunities for
independent businesses. "So in the future, we will open up opportunities so
that they can create independent businesses, not just being employed in other
people's places," she explained.
On that occasion, Risma
took the time to order a drink processed by Baristas who were the beneficiaries.
"I ordered Ice Cappuccino, she said, looking at the clock before breaking
the fast.
