“Thank you for inviting me here. I came all the way from Australia out of love for Indonesia—especially for SD Negeri 009 Batu Aji,” said Ratu Wangsa, her smile never fading as she warmly embraced the children, offering each one affectionate greetings and heartfelt eye contact.
What made the moment even more memorable was the children’s genuine excitement. Some were so eager to receive an autograph from Ratu Wangsa that they tore out pages from their own notebooks just to get a signature.
This wasn’t chaos—it was a touching display of admiration and sincere affection for Ratu Wangsa. The scene stood as a powerful reminder of the positive impact and inspiration she brings to the younger generation.
The principal of SD Negeri 009 Batu Aji, Mr. Suparjo, also expressed his deep appreciation for her presence.
“Praise be to God (Alhamdulillah), this has been a truly special moment for us this year. For the first time in our school’s history, we welcomed Ratu Wangsa to help us celebrate Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day. May God bless her with a long life and good health,” he concluded./Red.
