One story was of a student who came from lower class economy, a scavenger’s child, but had a fighting spirit to achieve higher education, some even got remarkable achievements.

“Indonesia needs strong and kind hearted women like the nursery teachers here. I hope that we’ll never give up in developing the schools and teaching the students, “said Rosalina.

The sharing session was continued by Adiyati, Rosalina’s colleague. Adiyati who is a university lecturer confirmed the importance of a nursery school and parental involvement in educating early age children.
