Paramita” Social Rehabilitation Center Harvests Garden Products by Children Against the Law
MATARAM
(24 May 2021) - The Ministry of
Social Affairs, through the "Paramita" Center, is harvesting garden
products by the Children Against the Law (ABH) in the Mix Farming of Paramita
Center.
This activity was attended by 8 ABH
Beneficiaries (PM) who worked on vocational Mix Farming guided by a vocational
instructor, Kustadi. The type of plant that is harvested is mustard greens.
As is well known by the public, mustard greens
have many benefits, including as a high source of good antioxidants for the body, support liver function, help lower cholesterol, and support heart
health, and many other benefits.
The head of the "Paramita" Center,
Ketut Supena said that in addition to receiving psychosocial therapy, ABH is
also taught entrepreneurship to equip them with independence.
"So when the child leaves after
undergoing a period of social rehabilitation at the Center, the child is able
to continue his ability to grow crops and be independent and benefit himself so
that he does not depend on his parents anymore,” he said.
"It takes patience to teach children who
are ABHs in cultivating garden plants. Persistence and consistency in caring
for and maintaining plants are needed to obtain maximum results and selling
value," said Kustadi.
Lanang, one of the PMs who participated in the
activity said that he loved farming, "I really like farming. In my place
of residence, there are many gardens like this. This activity suits me and I
will keep it until I finish rehab here," he said.
