Meet Kurniawan, a 26-year-old alumnus from Batch 27 and a successful national Sepak Takraw athlete. He recently won at the PON XXI Aceh-Sumut 2024 and was champion at the BIMP-EAGA tournament in Brunei Darussalam in 2018.
Kurniawan's journey started in middle school, but it took a significant turn in 2017 when he found The Learning Farm program through Sahabat Pulau. Fascinated by organic farming, he moved away from traditional farming methods. His experience at The Learning Farm equipped him with essential agricultural knowledge, computer skills, financial management expertise, English proficiency, and important values that contributed to his personal growth.
He credits TLF for improving his athletic performance, as the principles of discipline, responsibility, integrity, care, initiative, and teamwork from TLF are vital in his sports career. Kurniawan says, “Being an athlete requires routine, and TLF instilled that in me, helping me adapt to the demands of professional sports.”
