Ediyanto is our program coordinator and also one of our teachers. With bachelor degrees in Education, he has worked as school teacher before joining As Sakinah. Currently, he teaches how to read Al Qur'an in our Madrasah. He speaks Indonesian, English, Arabic and Japanese. In 2012, he was selected to go for a student exchange program in Japan, which he believes has changed his perspective in life. His passion in learning is what driven him to work hard for the foundation. Ediyanto also wants the children to be globabl minded and successful. He believes that success is when you can be useful for someone else. 

 

Here is a little story of what he thinks of As Sakinah and why he likes to work with us. 
 

"Actually people are social human being. Every person needs other people in their life. We cannot live without help of other people. We will always include other people.

 

Every time I remember this, I always think that God gives us more than what we know we have. I found new family and brothers here.

 

Bu Haji Lisma, she was not only principal of this institution, not only the leader of this organization but also a mother for all student, for all santri, for all staff.

 

She was very kind and amazing woman to work with. I had never seen a mother like her in my entire my life. She helps me and other member of As Sakinah to believe in ourselves and work hard for the future of the children. I meet her  for the first time when I was teacher in Al-Hidayah elementary school and her son was my student. That was when my journey began with her and all students of As-Sakinah.

I am very grateful of the opportunities, and I am going to work my best to help and support As Sakinah and all of its programs."
