Hello, my name is Dhea Intan Puspita Sari. I am usually called Dhea or Intan. I live with my parents in a village in Kayen District, Pati Regency, Central Java. I am 24 years old this year. I have 3 older brothers. I am the only girl in my family. Currently, I work as an early childhood teacher at PAUD Joglo.

I start my days around 03:30 a.m. with prayer. After that I clean the house and prepare to go to school. I leave before 7 AM and get home at 2 PM. I rest for a while, then clean the house again and shower. I then pray again and do school-related work at home. On weekends, I usually wash clothes in the morning and clean the house.

I build peace and justice through myself. I try to respect myself more by paying good attention to my needs. That way I can give my energy and thoughts to other people in an effort to help them. I also attended training on Living Without Violence and Living with a Culture of Peace at Peace Place Pati and learned to practice it with children at school. I try to practice the values of a peaceful culture in my daily life.

There is one thing that makes my life meaningful and full of hope, namely how I know that there is a power greater than myself and everything in the world. I believe in God who controls this life. I feel that I agree with the values carried out in the Friends Peace Teams-AWP and I am good friends with the friends on this team.

This photo is me with Azzam, one of the students in the Joglo Play Group. We were playing, cooking and selling at the acting center. Photo taken by Ms. Mellia Irawati on 6 Feb 2024.
