“My name is Ana Mariana. I am 33 years old. I am married with a warehouse worker and we have two children, 12 and 6 years old. When Faqih was a young boy, he didn’t want to be left alone at the school. But one day I took him to the Saturday Academy: after a while he enjoyed it so much that shortly afterwards he attended kindergarten.
His sister Alfi was a different story: after joining the Saturday Academy, she even decided to become a volunteer. This programme helped me a lot. Now, we have a better understanding about how to take care of our children, which I did not know before. I was also able to save money and open a small ‘warung’ (food stall) to help my husband. In the future, I wish to do a lot more, to make my ‘warung’ grow.
Above all, I want a better education for my children. They deserve the best and must reach higher than us, their parents, who lack educations.”
