"Thank God, PT Timah Tbk's support has been extraordinary in the education sector, not only handing over books, but many others have given laptops, some have supported the development of educational infrastructure," he said.
Meanwhile, one of the recipients of assistance, the Principal of Cendrawasih Kindergarten/PAUD, Merri, said that being an educator at the school he leads is not easy.
The reason is, that they are limited in developing and running school operations due to cost constraints. So they hope for support from various parties including PT Timah Tbk.
"We are trying to seek help from other parties, one of which is PT Timah through its CSR. Thank God, this is the second time we have been helped," She explained. (*)
