“I want to be a teacher” – Epris’ story

“Hurray! New books!” that was the expression of Epris Wenda on of registered children of Eruwok ADP while receiving new text books from WV. Born in October 23, 1999 Epris now in third grade of elementary school of Indawa Elementary Public School. He is the son of Wetius Wenda and mother Dopi Wanimbo. “Our school is very far from the city” explained Epris. “We always left behind compare to other school as we don’t have proper text books to be studied” said Epris.

The Elementary Public School of Indawa received aid in form of text books from WV through Eruwok Distribution and Supply Project. This project provided help for schools in form of text books, soccer balls, and volley ball nets. It also helps community health centers and integrated health post (Posyandu) with several kinds of antibiotics.

“With these updated text books we can struggle to achieve same position with other advanced schools” said Paskalis one of the teachers of Indawa Elementary Public School. “We hope in the future more help will come not only from WV but also from local government” Paskalis continued.

As we look back to Epris, he acted like a teacher teaching of his friends as students. “I want to be a teacher someday” said Epris. “I’d love to teach science as it reveals a lot of things unknown before” he continued and smile. When we saw his smile, we pray in our heart that someday Epris will found a path that would bring him to be a teacher. A good teacher!
