REGENCY – For 59 years, Ohi Matsohi Suhanda has been working as a teacher.
For him, teaching is not only a source of livelihood but also a field of
service. Throughout his career as a teacher, he has learned many lessons and
had many experiences.
Ohi started out as
a teacher at a madrasa. Until now, he is still actively teaching Islamic
subjects and the Sundanese language at Masyarakat Peduli Insani Foundation in
Bogor Regency. Ohi never complains about his salary. He is always grateful for
what he earns, and his gratitude has further strengthened him.
“I still want to
continue teaching because I love the world of education. Deep inside my heart,
I really want to devote myself to education. I hope my service will support me
in the hereafter,” said Ohi when asked why he is still teaching although he is
no longer young.
He believes that,
in terms of sustenance, Allah will suffice him through sources that he might
not expect.
"Once, I ran
out of rice, but Alhamdulillah, there was sustenance that came from unexpected
sources," said Ohi.
To appreciate
Ohi's dedication in education especially in Bogor Regency, Aksi Cepat Tanggap
(ACT) handed over financial assistance to Ohi last February. This assistance
was funded by the community that has donated through the Friends of Indonesian
Teachers program.
“Thank you to all
the benefactors who were involved in sending love to teachers in various parts
of the country. Hopefully, in the future we can continue expanding benefits,” said
Mahatir Qathafi from the ACT East Bogor Branch. []
