At the end of the event, Alviano expressed the hope he wanted to achieve from his social activities with Himabiko, including establishing cordial relations with the orphanage, increasing students’ gratitude, and training foster children’s creativity at Dharma Aji Human Orphanage. “We hope to establish a cordial relationship with the Dharma Aji Insan Orphanage, to train the foster children’s creativity, which allows them to re-use used goods for useful purposes, and to increase all Himabiko members’ gratitude,” Alviano concluded.
