Hello Everyone!! I am Dwita, I am one of the children who received assistance from the Strong Angels Foundation, I am the first born of three siblings, and I come from Gianyar

In July 2020 I finished my education at high school majored in accounting, the economy in Bali was difficult during Covid-19 and my parents' financial situation was difficult because during Covid-19 they couldn't work and besides that they have to support my two younger siblings who are currently at school, making me unable to continue my education to a higher level. Honestly, I felt very sad but I also have to understand the situation of my parents and my younger siblings who are still in school. After graduating from high school, I worked in a cooperative at the Four Seasons Hotel for 2 months but had to stop because Covid-19 cases were increasing day by day.

At that time I felt that there was no longer any hope for me to continue my education.

Until finally I remembered my uncle Deta who happened to be helped by the Strong Angel Foundation to go to school. In September 2020 my father and me visited Frank and Tirta and I told him what actually happened, Frank offered me to stay at the Strong Angel Foundation and continue my education . I felt very happy to hear that, but I also felt afraid because I would be far from my parents. Long story short, in March 2021 I started living at the Strong Angel Foundation. I met many friends from various regions in Bali. At first I felt scared, but finally I got used to it because my friends are very humble and friendly, they really care about me, one of them. The thing I remember most when I was sick was they looked after and cared for me to make sure I was well. We cooked together, studied together, we also learned about Balinese customs such as making canang and banten and many other fun experiences that I have missed

together. When our sponsors come to visit the foundation we also make performances such as dancing, singing and group gymnastics, one of the exercises that I like the most is penguin exercise because when I do it I see that everyone looks like a penguin ups...hahaha. There are so many good lessons that I can take during I am at the Strong Angel Foundation which made me change from not knowing to knowing.

At the end of August 2021 I started studying at Bali State Polytechnic and majored in D3

hospitality. I feel very happy and can't believe it because I can finally study the course that I really want to take, In the first and second years I did online class because of Covid-19 in Bali, in the third year I did training in the front office at the Green Field Resort Ubud for 6 months, in the 5th year I trained again at the Four Seasons Resort Ubud in the pastry section for 6 months, after I finished college in 0ctober 2023, and I still remember one of the four seasons human resort departments contacted me and offered me a job as a daily worker in the pastry section. And until now I am still working at Four Seasons as a daily worker. I am very grateful and thankful to Strong Angel Foundation because the help from Strong Angel Foundation allows me to continue my education to a higher level.

And this is the memory while i was in hostel, collage, training and got a job.
