Everyone has the right to succeed
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
Standing apart from other pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools), is the Abdurrahman bin Auf Pesantren, which not only teaches religion, it also tries to instill in their students self-reliance and confidence by training them in business and farming skills. "Our objective is to teach them to go beyond merely reading the Qur'an, but actually living life as according to the Holy Book," said Akbar Mahalli. He is the business manager of the Abdurrahman bin Auf Entrepreneurship and Agrobusiness Pesantren, popularly known with its acronym, Perwira AbA, located at Bulan village, in the subdistrict of Wonosari, Klaten regency, Central Java.
Today, about 40 percent of students who attended the school from 2000 to 2015, or about 350 of them, are successful entrepreneurs. "Sigit, one of our graduates, owns a thriving toy-making business, with an outlay of Rp5 million a day," boasted Akbar. The success of Perwira AbA can also be seen in the awards it has won in various competitions. The school won first place at the Central Java Provincial Competition for Food Sustainability, a few years ago.
