The presence of Acting Governor Uu Ruzhanul to provide assistance and at the same time ensure that Aria has returned to school. Aria Naizar Syaputra (12) went viral for selling tofu round and around on his feet until he decided to stop school to pay for his family. This is motivated by his father who left his family after his mother, Susan experienced kidney failure and had to undergo dialysis one or two weeks and his younger sister who was still in third grade elementary school. Since her mother regularly washed her blood, Aria started selling tofu around. He knew it was taken from producers and Aria was selling around. The routes that Aria usually goes through include the Cihaurbeuti Health Center, Ciamis Regency, Jamanis Health Center, Panembong Health Center, followed by the Soekardjo Regional General Hospital (RSUD) in Tasikmalaya City. With Aria's gross income of approximately Rp. 100,000 per day, Aria insisted on selling to meet his family's needs, his sister's school and his mother's medicines that were not borne by the Health Social Security Administration (BPJS). "This is a form of government responsiveness, coming to people who really need attention," said Uu Ruzhanul. Aria was successfully persuaded by the local sub-district and village so that he would want to go to school again in sixth grade elementary school. "Aria was informed that she was not in school for a while, even though she was in school, because she was the backbone of the family's economy. Her mother was sick, she also had a sister and her mother had to go for treatment. She might think about how to get up to make money, because treatment takes money until she decides to stop school," said Uu Ruzhanul. Uu Ruzhanul admitted that he was touched by Aria's dedication and struggle for his family. Aria started selling from the morning around the road. "The sub-district head, the village head has persuaded him (to continue school) and now Aria is in school again in sixth grade. He wants to be a soldier, that (aspirations) are good," said Uu. Uu said the government at various levels had provided assistance to this family, including from the West Java Provincial Government. "Hopefully Aria will no longer be disturbed by school because of family needs," said Uu.

The Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs, the Tasikmalaya Regency Government to sub-districts and villages have distributed programs and assistance to Aria's family. "Hopefully this will make it easier for Aria to be able to continue to study and go to school and the economy will be helped," said Uu.
