Our five young scholars from the Sasakawa Young Scholar Initiative have all by now started their own small projects, some even already will finish them this month.
- Arfah organised training to create a vegetable garden together with the residents of the Jongaya Safe House and vegetables are growing by now!
- Iyan is preparing a portfolio of photographs of persons affected, telling their stories and promoting their strength through visual storytelling – he will have his deadline early September to enteri an international young photographer contest with his photos!
- Roni carried out leprosy education for the social workers of the Office for Social Affairs in Bantaeng, and will now invite them to visit person affected together.
- Sarmila made progress in organising a fundraising event for PerMaTa Maros which will take place in October.
- Egi started producing podcast sessions with senior persons affected to preserve their memory and experiences!
Good luck and have fun as you continue to implement these great ideas—and thank you, SHF, for making this possible!
