Ayu’s Story: From Hopelessness to the School of Life

Aug 3, 2026

INDONESIA – Meet Ayu. After losing her father, Ayu struggled with grief, bullying, and hopelessness. At one point, she didn’t believe life was worth living. Then everything began to change.

Today, she dreams of becoming a School of Life teacher so she can help other children facing the same struggles she once did.
