JAKARTA - One of the elementary school children in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan, named Reisya, was touched to meet directly with President Joko Widodo and Mrs. Iriana Jokowi at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman International Airport, Sepinggan, Friday, February 24.
Arriving at the apron, the President and Mrs. Iriana immediately approached the ranks of children who were waiting for the arrival of the two to meet and take pictures together.
Reisya had cried because she could not meet and see President Jokowi on his first working day in East Kalimantan Province, last Wednesday.
"Why are you crying?" asked President Jokowi
"I want to meet you, sir," replied Reisya.
Reisya is a grade two student at SDN 015 South Balikpapan.

"The car glass is not open," he said.
After finally being able to meet and take pictures with the President and Mrs. Iriana, Reisya was both happy and nervous.
Not only meeting and taking pictures together, the children also received gifts from the President and Mrs. Iriana in the form of books and bags containing drugs and child vitamins.
