a red dot on the map. it is a town
you’d probably miss on the map, I am
trying to say. this town in East Java is
100 times tinier in size and 8 times
less populous in comparison to
Jakarta (BPS, 2010).
Gresik, a town in which I have been
born and raised for over 20 years. a
town I have my heart, mind, and soul
for.

a worth knowing story
She is Ayu. A young, talented, and
smart girl from a village in Gresik. Look
at the trophies she has. You will then
know that she is not just another girl
who whines throughout her life.
Her mother sews for living. Her father
passed away when she was a child. Ayu
and her family should struggle to live.
And, education is not that cheap to
afford. Would you let her talent
decease? Or, would you want the
otherwise? It is now our call!
