follow-up to the comprehensive assessment activity that had been carried out
some time ago. From the assessment data we obtained, we divided the children into
several age groups, namely 0 - 5 years, 6 - 13 years, and 15 - 18 years. In
addition to implementing LDP, we also provide ATENSI assistance according to
their age.

especially the Toddopuli Center in Makassar for responding to the tornado
natural disaster that had occurred. He hopes that the assistance provided by
the Center can benefit the children and their families.
Andi Sammang, Head of the Dua Pitue
Sub-district, also thanked the Ministry of Social Affairs for the great
attention of the Ministry for the Dua Pitue Community who had suffered from the
disaster. And hope that the conditions of the affected children can return to
good, and can carry out their activities like the day before.
LDP activities are divided into 2 age groups,
namely children and adolescents. At the age of the children are given drawing
and coloring games. Meanwhile, Social Workers for adolescents invite them to
playgroup dynamics, hula hoops, and sing.
