Jakarta – The Free Nutritious Meal Programme initiated by President Prabowo Subianto was also felt by students in the Papua Mountains, including at SMKN 1 Dekai, Yahukimo Regency, Papua Pengunungan.

In a video uploaded on the Instagram account [email protected]_ on Wednesday (16/1), students were seen eating a portion of food consisting of rice, side dishes, vegetables, and fruit. They said that the food they ate had a good flavour.

“Kasih habis eh, isn’t it delicious? Bon appetit kids,” said a woman who took the video.

“It’s delicious,” said a student.

“Thank you, Mr President Prabowo,” said another student.

Many netizens responded positively to the viral video and appreciated the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal programme, especially in the Papua region.

“Until there, I’m just grateful that it’s safe and under control 👏. I hope it really helps,” wrote the @anggrisstarbus account.

“Alhamdulillah, it has reached Papua as well as free nutritious food 😍😍😍,” said account @nidyatriarum

“Seeing it happy, thank God I am happy too,” wrote account @ameyleonita21

“The right target 🔥❤️ provides free food like this 👏,” said account @rikiki31rikiki.

In the video description, it is also known that Yahukimo is listed as the region with the highest stunting rate in Indonesia, where the stunting prevalence reaches 53.3%.

In addition, the Yakuhimo region has also been hit by famine due to crop failure for several consecutive months due to high rainfall.

In another video uploaded by the _@BangMilenz_ account, it is shown that free nutritious food is so beneficial for children with unfavourable social/economic conditions.

“So, the video shows an elementary school student in Gorontalo who brings home a free lunch for his mother, because there is no rice in his house,” said the _@BangMilenz_ account.

“This video brought netizens to tears while proving to people who like to criticise free lunches that many people are not as lucky as they are in Indonesia,” he continued.

Prabowo, on various occasions, has always emphasised that no one should go hungry in this country, especially for the next generation. That is one of the reasons why the Free Nutritious Meal programme was intensified.

“Many children need to eat, which is why Pak Prabowo always emphasises that he wants no one to go hungry in this country, especially the next generation. And the video was captured even by the Bone Raya Police Chief. A very touching moment as well as a reminder for those of us who always feel less grateful for this life,” concluded the account _@BangMilenz_. (RR)
