Preparations to Welcome Indonesia's Independence Day

Student practicing traditional Balinese dance for the National Independence Day Celebration

On 17 August every year, all Indonesian people simultaneously celebrate Independence Day, a meaningful moment that is always awaited. Likewise, with EBPP students, who this year are once again preparing for the celebration with enthusiasm.

Since a few weeks ago, the school has been filled with cheerfulness. The sound of laughter, practicing music, and traditional dance steps can be heard and seen every day. This year, various interesting competitions will be held, ranging from independence-themed painting competitions to a variety of typical games that foster togetherness.

Not only that, the students will also perform Balinese dances, art collaborations, drama "Preservation of Balinese Culture", jokes, poetry, and modern music performances that are creatively packaged. They approach and prepare every activity very seriously so that they can give their best performance on the big day.

With the theme "United Sovereign, Prosperous People, Advanced Indonesia", this celebration is not only entertainment, but also motivation for students to continue learning, achieve their goals, and get out of the shackles of poverty.

We thank the donors for their invaluable support, which makes the young generation of Ban Village able to welcome the future with hope.
