DDHK News, Indonesia - Dompet Dhuafa (DD) helps school students at a vocational high school in Bogor who are unable to redeem their diplomas. Meliantini Maldini (18 years), the name of the student, has not paid off some of his arrears at school.
Meli, as Meliantini is familiarly called, lives in Jampang Village, Kemang District, Bogor Regency. Every day he works as an operator at one of the public fuel filling stations (SPBU) in Kemang, Bogor.
Meli lives with her mother and grandmother. His father died when he was one year old. Before working, he attended a vocational high school in Bogor majoring in Computer Science.
However, when he graduated, he was unable to redeem his diploma because he had not paid off some of his arrears at school. Her mother's activity, who is only a housewife, although sometimes working small things by attaching beads on the veil (jilbab ornament), is not sufficient to pay for the arrears.
Until the mother met the Community Service Institute (LPM) team Dompet Dhuafa. The mother also explained the difficulties experienced by her only child.
After completing the requested documents, through the Diploma Redemption Program, Meli received assistance to pay the fees. Meli got a diploma.
Meli and her mother are grateful to receive this assistance, because a diploma is Meli's main asset to find work.
"If my diploma is not redeemed, I don't know what I want to do now, looking for work is difficult, especially with a diploma," said Meli. He also thanked the donors Dompet Dhuafa who helped him. (Dompetdhuafa.org). *
