MAYANGAN – Wali Kota Probolinggo Hadi Zainal Abidin bersilaturahmi dengan anak yatim piatu di Lembaga Kesejahteraan Sosial Anak (LKSA) yatim piatu dan terlantar Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Kota Probolinggo, Jumat (9/10) pagi.
Sebanyak 98 anak bersama pengurus LKSA NU dan Baznas hadir di halaman Panti Asuhan NU yang beralamat di Jalan KH Hasyim Ashari, Kelurahan Mangunharjo, Kecamatan Mayangan.
Dalam laporannya, Ketua Pengurus LKSA NU Moch Maskur menyatakan ada 98 anak dibawah asuhan panti NU, 46 di dalam dan 52 di luar panti. Ia berkomitmen mewujudkan masa depan yang bermanfaat untuk anak-anak tersebut.
“Kami perhatikan sepenuhnya, 50 persen biaya pendidikan dipenuhi lembaga (LKSA NU). Selain itu dana dari donatur mencapai Rp 1,6 Miliar, rencananya akan kami bangun lembaga pendidikan bisa ambil dari dana itu. Keberadaan asrama juga jadi pemikiran kami,” terang Maskur.
Sementara itu, Wali Kota Habib Hadi memberikan motivasi kepada anak-anak yang menjadi harapan bangsa untuk tidak berkecil hati dan tetaplah menjadi kebangaan orangtua serta negara.
Mantan anggota DPR RI ini memastikan Pemkot Probolinggo akan konsisten pada lembaga pendidikan yang bermutu. “Karena kami berkomitmen tidak ada pembedaan anak yatim piatu dan terlantar ini. Dengan adanya wadah ini kami beri perhatian tanpa ada perbedaan,” tegas Habib Hadi.
Pemkot Probolinggo mengajak LKSA NU untuk berinovasi mengambil langkah tepat membantu dunia pendidikan. Menurut Habib Hadi, zaman sekarang ini teknologi menjadi kunci tapi bila anak didik tidak ada bekal agama justru membahayakan.
Wali Kota Habib Hadi juga meminta pengurus NU istiqomah dengan ikhlas melakukan yang terbaik. Ia menunggu terobosan pengurus tidak sekadar rutinitas. Inovasi dibutuhkan agar anak-anak menjadi anak bermanfaat dan punya prestasi.
“Untuk anak-anakku semuanya, jadilah kebanggaan orangtua meski mereka sudah tidak ada. Sebagai orangtua dari anak-anak di Kota Probolinggo, saya harus siap ambil langkah untuk kemashlahatan khususnya di dunia pendidikan,” kata Habib Hadi. (famydecta)
Probolinggo Mayor Hadi Zainal Abidin had ‘silaturahmi’ (communal bonds) with orphans at the orphaned and abandoned Child Social Welfare Institution (LKSA) of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) of Probolinggo City on Friday (9/10).
A total of 98 children together with the NU LKSA and Baznas administrators were present at the courtyard of the NU Orphanage located at Jalan KH Hasyim Ashari, Mangunharjo urban village, Mayangan sub-district.
In his report, the Chairman of the NU LKSA Management Moch Maskur stated that there were 98 children under the care of the NU orphanage, 46 inside and 52 outside the orphanage. He is committed to creating a bright future for these children.
“We pay close attention, 50 percent of the education costs are met by the institution (LKSA NU). Besides, funds from donators reached IDR 1.6 billion. We plan to build educational institutions that can take from these funds. The existence of a dormitory is also our thought,” explained Maskur.
Meanwhile, Mayor Habib Hadi gave motivation to children who were the hope of the nation not to be discouraged and remain the pride of their parents and the country.
This former member of the DPR RI ensures that the Probolinggo city administration will be consistent with quality educational institutions. “We are committed to making no distinction among these orphans and neglected children. With this forum we pay attention without any differences,” said Habib Hadi.
The Probolinggo city administration invites LKSA NU to innovate, taking the right steps to help the world of education. According to Habib Hadi, technology is the key, but if students do not have religious provisions, it might be risky.
Mayor Habib Hadi also asked the management of NU to be ‘istiqomah’ (performing rightly) to sincerely do their best. He is waiting for a breakthrough for the management, not just a routine program. Innovation is needed so that children become useful and accomplished children.
“For all of my children, be proud of your parents even though they are not around. As a parent of children in Probolinggo City, I must be ready to take steps for the benefit, especially in the world of education,” said Habib Hadi. (alfien_tr)
