Ni Luh Purniawati

I am a kindergarten teacher. I joined BSB very young and YGRP gave me the opportunity to study education at university. After my graduation, I became interested to teach in this centre because I knew it was just “different”. I was like being pulled by two hands that embraced me. Marga and Frank are my inspiration since I was in senior high school. They accepted me as I am and trained me a lot to be a real teacher. There were storytelling training sessions, sharing ideas or topics, making word fields and mind-maps, making lesson plans as well as micro-teaching training.
My other friends and I were also trained to be open-minded, giving and receiving feedback from each other, and broaden our viewpoints. During the process, I discovered that this place has a very good mission in education. All of the learning processes are designed by telling stories and games. The atmosphere becomes much more fun and also warm so the children are happy too. It feels more enthusiastic, comfortable, active, innovative, and creative.
