Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture greets YATI YAPI Children at the "Mahatmiya" Center in Bali

The Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture and his entourage were greeted directly by the Director of Child Social Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Kanya Eka Santi, and the Head of the Mahatmiya Bali Center, Sri Wibowo at the Culinary and Artne Coffee stand.

Also present at the event were the Regional Secretary of Tabanan Regency I Gede Susila, the Deputy for Coordination of Quality Improvement for Children, Women, and Youth, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, and the Head of the Tabanan Social Office.

Representing the Tabanan Regent, the Tabanan Regional Secretary explained the support of the Tabanan Regency Government in social fields such as the construction of sidewalks for people with disabilities and discussion of regional regulations.

"The social sector is our main concern. We are currently working on sidewalk construction on several roads. We are working on the legal umbrella for our brothers and sisters (people with disabilities) so that later they will have a legal basis for their work," he said.

Not only that, but he also collaborates with various parties to support the social sector.

"We always foster cooperation with several parties, such as the Mahatmiya Center which helps us in the distribution of assistance, and BNI which always helps disburse KPM funds on time," he added.

On the same occasion, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture during a meeting with YATI-YAPI children and the elderly said that the social sector was one of President Joko Widodo's concerns.

"I am also grateful that the social sector is very much considered. Especially children who have been abandoned by their parents due to Covid-19. I hope that they will receive fees until they graduate from high school, especially up to the university level," said Effendy, starting the meeting.

The elderly is also a concern. "This makes me happy, the elderly are cared for and given assistive devices to facilitate accessibility because I am also elderly, hopefully, I will also be cared for," he said with a laugh, which was followed by laughter from the participants.
