JAKARTA - Surabaya Mayor Eri Cahyadi provides solutions to people with disabilities in the City of Heroes, East Java, who have difficulty working. One of them is by preparing an Achievement Children's House for disability activities.

"A resident with disabilities complains that nothing can be done, even though he goes to an educational institution, he still cannot. God willing, we are currently establishing an Achievement Children's Home for Friends with Disabilities," said Mayor Eri Cahyadi in a written statement quoted by Antara, Sunday, August 28.

Mayor Eri's statement responded to the complaint of a person with disabilities, Cinta Apsari during the "Sambat Nang Cak Eri" activity at Surabaya City Hall on Saturday, August 27. Cinta Apsari expressed her complaint about the difficulty of finding work for colleagues with disabilities.

Through the Achievement Children's Home, which is planned to be completed on August 31, 2022, the disabled resident gets a solution from Mayor Eri Cahyadi to become a teacher or mentor.

"So, we will immediately inaugurate and communities with disabilities can gather there. We will provide teachers to teach other disability skills," he said.

For this reason, Eri hopes that children who have completed their education can join to become educators at the Achievement Children's House to help other disabilities, to be able to continue to excel with the skills they have.

Responding to this, Cinta Apsari said she was grateful and happy for the solution provided by Mayor Eri Cahyadi. "Alhamdulillah, Mayor Eri Cahyadi provided a solution, namely that he would place me in the Home of Achieved Children to become a teacher there. I hope there will be many opportunities to work for friends with disabilities," he said.
