Every day I work as an ojek driver (motorcycle driver). When I only have a few passengers, I also go fishing in the sea. With 30 to 40 men and a large net. I no longer work at Cilu Bintang hotel.

Whatever I can do, I will do to support my family in a halal way. If only there were no coronavirus, our lives would already have become better, but unfortunately, there has been no change so far. It has become harder to earn money, and food prices have increased. 

I am happy that I have become a father, and I am also proud that I am able to give my mother a grandchild. Having a child is indeed exhausting, but I have committed to being a good father. A good father never gives up, no matter how difficult 

My family and I are very proud and happy to have had the opportunity to work with you, Isabelle. My family and I thank you very much because, through you, foreigners can hear/see my story. It is not something that one can experience just like that. 
the situation. I am responsible for taking care of my family.

Karis lives with his parents, brothers, and his little family in kampung Tanah Rata, which means ‘flat land’ set behind the Papenberg, which is the highest point of Pulau Banda at 250 meters.
