Bogor – A new surge of enthusiasm radiated from Imran Wally Rahakbau, Coordinator of the Indonesian Development Catalyst Graduates (SPPI) assigned to the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) kitchen in Maluku Province, after receiving a direct briefing from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto.
The moment took place at Garuda Yaksa Hall, Hambalang, Bogor, on Saturday (May 3) during a national gathering with SPPI and personnel from the Nutritional Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG).
“This is my fifth time meeting the President and receiving a personal briefing. I come from a humble background, so I feel even more motivated to ensure this program reaches everyone and helps children become more enthusiastic about school, especially when it comes to nutrition,” said Imran.
One of the most touching moments, Imran said, was when President Prabowo shared the story of a child named Naila. Despite living in extremely poor conditions, Naila remained determined to live a meaningful life and pursue her education.
“What struck me the most was when the President showed a photo of Naila’s house, which was incredibly heartbreaking, but she still went to school with spirit. It’s that kind of determination in our children that we want to protect,” he added.
Imran also praised Prabowo’s initiative to provide motorcycles for SPPI field staff. This will greatly help them reach remote villages and accelerate the distribution of nutritious meals.
“We’re really excited. We’re tasked not just as kitchen managers, but also as regional mobilizers. Motorcycles will greatly ease access to difficult-to-reach villages,” he said.
To close, Imran expressed hope that President Prabowo will continue to be granted good health and strength in his mission to lead the nation—especially in preparing for the Golden Generation 2045 through the MBG program.
“Our hope is that the President remains healthy, strong, and protected by Allah SWT. So that this program can be fully implemented and truly shape a golden generation by 2045,” he concluded.
