Grandpa
Abu's elderly age (74 years old) is full of joy and love. Grandpa Abu is
clearly enjoying his old age, as seen by his everyday activities. Based on his
home, he does not appear to be wealthy. His wife lives with him, while his
children and grandchildren live far away. Nonetheless, Abu Bakar, as his full
name implies, appears to enjoy a happy life. He is never observed looking
depressed or moaning.
Despite his elderly age, Grandpa Abu is still
able to provide for his wife. Grandpa Abu lives in Dusun Setia, Cut Bada
Village, Langkahan Subdistrict, North Aceh Regency, and works as a rattan
craftsman. He can earn millions of rupiah with his work.
To commemorate National Elderly Day (HLUN), the Ministry of Social Affairs provided
empowerment assistance through the Pahlawan Ekonomi Nusantara (PENA) program to
help Grandpa Abu develop his business.
