“Paramita” Center with the Head of the NTB Social Service Harvest Purple Potato
MATARAM
(July 5, 2021) - The Head of the
"Paramita" Center in Mataram harvests purple sweet potatoes in the
fields of the North Building Hall Women's Dormitory Complex. The activity
started at 10:00 WITA with the Head of the West Nusa Tenggara Province Social
Service and the structural ranks.
I Ketut Supena said that children should be
equipped with various skills such as gardening like this. "This can also
be used as a means of changing children's behavior. We teach our children to
take advantage of the natural resources that exist in our environment, so there
is no need to spend money to be able to meet their daily food needs. Push it to
be processed into economic value goods such as chips and getuk which are sold at the ATENSI Creation Center (SKA) Paramita,"
said Ketut.
The Head of the NTB Social Service, H. Ahsanul
Khalik welcomed this effort. "The purple sweet potatoes we harvest here
are extraordinary, these sweet potatoes can grow on sandy and rocky soil, the
tubers can appear above the ground, and they are big," he said.
At the end of the session, the Head of Paramita
and Head of the Social Service Office of NTB expressed great hope. Both hope
that the synergy will be further strengthened in handling children's social
problems in West Nusa Tenggara. The treatment given must be complete and not
just a temporary treatment.
