Yes. Let the money follow the dreams. What does it mean?
We have a dream, namely the establishment of a building that can be used as a place for family education, especially pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, regarding the importance of providing nutritional intake for themselves and also the early childhood children they give birth to.
Meanwhile, the money and energy to make it happen, to build it, are gradually being sought to follow suit.
If you look at the picture of the building designed by architect Titis Nurabadi, it is clear that the building to be built will require a large amount of money.
Where do the financing funds to build this building come from? This is what I mean by "money follows the dream".
So, right now, just strengthen your dream of building that building. The concept of use must be clear.
Namely, to allow mothers in this area meet each other, gain knowledge from many parties--especially from nutritionists and doctors, then learn good cooking practices and methods, and make it a healthy habit in processing and consuming food.
So, with that provision, just start taking small steps. Mutual cooperation is carried out. Saweran (chip-in) financing is raised with the principles of responsibility and honesty.

Magic! It turns out that little by little a way was found. Let's just combine the Free Nutritious Meal program from the National Nutrition Agency with this dream.
We have also approached the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection for support.
And most importantly, all residents around the development are also involved. This seems to be the way. Everyone tries to work together. Good intentions should be expressed by those above.***
