REGENCY – During the rainy season, it becomes too difficult for Yaman, an
honorary teacher from Gunung Kramat Village in Cisolok District, Sukabumi
Regency, to peddle his sandals. The dirt paths often become too slippery and
difficult to traverse.
“Sukabumi is a mountainous area. I often have
to go up and down the hills, often through steep paths. If it rains, they
become too slippery and dangerous to traverse,” said Yaman Aksi Cepat Tanggap
(ACT) visited him on Wednesday (12/1/2021).
Yaman peddles
sandals to the neighboring villages, a business that he has done to earn more
money. Having been working for three years as an honorary teacher, he earns a
monthly salary of IDR400,000. Despite not earning much, he does not want to
quit teaching.
"The profit
from selling sandals is IDR25,000 to IDR30,000 a day. However, the benefits I
reap from teaching are perpetual. Insha Allah, what we teach will be useful for
the students in the future, so, essentially, it is priceless.
To support Yaman,
Global Zakat – ACT provided food packages and financial assistance for him,
Wednesday (12/1/2021). []
