JAKARTA - Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini asked orphans and disabled children in Indramayu Regency, West Java, to continue their education because, with school, 50 percent of their dreams are already in hand.

"There is no longer any reason that you can't go to school, because all people are the same," said Minister Risma in Indramayu, Tuesday, while encouraging orphans and disabilities in Indramayu Regency.

Risma also showed video footage of children with disabilities from Pekalongan, Central Java, who were still enthusiastic about going to school.

In addition to school, children with disabilities, said Risma, are also very excited to help their parents earn a living by selling around.

For this reason, Risma invites orphans and disabled children in Indramayu Regency to imitate her spirit.

"Everyone is given the same opportunity, whether it's smart, stupid, disability is the same as long as you want. If you want you can, you can," she said.

In addition, Risma also asked for the passbook and ATM provided so that they can be used as well as possible, because every month they will receive aid funds.

"There are passbooks and ATMs, they will be filled every month, don't lose them," she said.
