Effective June 1, Ayu Ratna, our program coordinator for KEMBALI, Vocational, and university scholarship programs, officially stepped down from her role to embark on a new journey. She would like to expand her career and create a more meaningful impact in the health education sector.

For over 10 years, Ratna has played an important role in managing scholarship intakes, coordinating program activities, overseeing procurement, and maintaining strong partnerships with our local partners. She witnessed hundreds of new students joining the program and celebrated many proud graduations across the years.

Reflecting her time with YKIP, Ratna shared, “Spending 10 extraordinary years as YKIP’s Program Coordinator has been more than just a career milestone; it’s been a soulful journey of purpose and compassion. This role has not only enriched my professional path but has also filled my heart in ways words can barely express. Working hand in hand with communities, partners and volunteers, we ensured that educational support reached the children in Bali who need it most. To some, these may seem like small acts, but the light of hope in a child’s eyes is a reminder that even the simplest efforts can make a lasting impact. I carry immense pride and gratitude for having been part of this mission that changes lives.”

We thank Ratna for her tireless dedication and contributions over the past decade. She will always be part of the YKIP family, and we wish her all the best in her new chapter.

See you again, Ratna!
