Paridi's Education: a role model for thousands

Dear GlobalGiving Donors,

Happy new year! I sincerely hope that each and every one of you will be happier and more prosperous this year.

Now let me tell you about a trip I had recently. Towards the end of last year, my family and I paid a visit to our relatives’ house in Bekasi. It’s located near Indonesia’s capital city and it’s where most people who commute to Jakarta live. We travelled there by train and my children were extremely excited. Unfortunately, disaster struck when the streets were suddenly flooded. The trip back home that we planned on the same day was cancelled as a result. Due to the circumstances, we were forced to stay at our relatives’ house until we got evacuated the next day. The flood was so bad that the floodwater even reached our hips. Thankfully, after three days of staying at the evacuation center we were told that we could go back home. Although the situation was unpredicted, we all still had a good time.

After the holidays ended, it was time for the new semester in which I will be finishing my Tax Brevet A&B course. As I mentioned in my last report, this course is one of the requirements to graduate from my accounting major. It’ll take place on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings. I plan on spending most of my time in the library to finish off my final assignment.  The final test will be conducted by the end of January and I need to study in advance as all the subjects I’m taking this semester will be tested in the same week. 

That is all from me now. I would like to express my gratitude for your generous support in my studies. Best greetings to all of you and your family. Once again, may the new year bring endless joy and prosperity to you.

Warm regards,

Paridi
