Celebrating National Children’s Day at Kupang Juvenile Correctional Facility

Donning the LPKA uniform, the LPKA children gathered and presented art performances such as a play, stand-up comedy, musical, and dance performance. At the end of the performances and after dinner, a vote for the most entertaining performance was held. Currently, Kupang LPKA is hosting 24 children, one of which is a girl.

M said that she was initially offered to be transferred to a women’s correctional facility. However, M rejected the offer as she feels safer being with friends her age at the LPKA. M also shared that she’s learning handicrafts at LPKA. “I hope that after I’m released, I can have a business, become a seamstress, and just help my parents,” said M when she was asked about her aspirations. M’s aspirations had changed. Before being put into the LPKA, she was once dreaming to be a doctor. “Now, not anymore,” said M. M’s case was only one out of the many stories at LPKA.
