– Physical limitations do not discourage Muhammad Imanuddin Kamil (21) from
continuing his education. The young man from Masamba in North Luwu moved to Makassar
in order to realize his dream to be lecturer. He has been studying diligently
to make his parents proud. To him, if there is a will, there is always a way to
make his dream comes true.
Imanuddin lives in
the dormitory of Yayasan Pembinaan
Tunanetra Indonesia (YAPTI) which was 12 hours from his hometown in
Masamba. He is now studying at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Islam dan Bahasa Arab (STIBA).
Imanuddin's parents are farmers. They don’t have much money for Imanuddin’s
tuition fees.
Knowing the
magnitude of Imanuddin's struggle to achieve his goals, Aksi Cepat Tanggap
(ACT) provides scholarship through Bea Pendidikan Indonesia. The fruit
of this community's generosity is expected to support Imanuddin's education in
Makassar.
“Alhamdulillah,
thank you to all the benefactors for the assistance, especially to the blind
like me. Hopefully, this kind of assistance is not only given to me but also to
other people in need. Once again, thank you for your help,” said Imanuddin in
early August.
Bea Pendidikan Indonesia is one of the
educational programs that ACT launched during the pandemic as an effort to
support Indonesian education, funded by the community.
“Everyone can take
part in doing good, including by supporting the education of Indonesian
students who are our future generation,” said Firman from ACT South Sulawesi
Program Department.[]
