Discussing “Dare to Lead and Speak Up,” this sharing session was carried out as an effort by Dompet Dhuafa to build leadership traits while preparing a healthy, great, and smart generation, which is certainly needed to shape a brighter future for the nation. According to Fiqah, one of the first steps to prepare a leader generation is to build honesty.
“It’s very important for children to know the most important basic thing to be a leader is to be honest with themselves, so that they know that ethics are important to become a great individual,” said Fiqah.
In line with this, Dompet Dhuafa as an institution that also struggles in the fields of education and social, never tires in creating and preparing the successors of the nation, educating resilient leaders-to-be who will later radiate a brilliant future.

“From this activity, it is hoped that children can be enthusiastic and courageous, and dare to lead as the successor of the nation. Dare to speak the truth, about kindness, can convey their ideas and opinions. The point is that today’s activities should be used as provisions for the future. Hopefully, the students must have motivation and confidence, and hopefully what is learned over the next two days will be useful for the students,” added Kamaludin, Senior Officer of Social Services Dompet Dhuafa.
As a children and adolescent practitioner who has been struggling for eight years, Fiqah Soraya added that every relationship, both children and adults, the main step is how much they know themselves, and of course in the process of knowing themselves will be greatly helped by honesty.
This sharing session also aims to build awareness of children about knowing themselves by being honest with themselves. From this motivational material, participants can also share and implement it, so that they are honest with themselves starting from teen age.
“Thank you Dompet Dhuafa for continuing to form, carry out positive things, especially for children abandoned by their parents, underprivileged children. Hopefully the existence of Dompet Dhuafa will provide access to education, access to programs for them, to make them become strong individuals in the future, and they are not alone,” added Fiqah.
