Hi steemit community how are you?
Today I will share the story of Kartini's day and the excitement of the activities done in commemorating the Kartini day. Kartini day is the day when a heroine named Raden Ajeng Kartini was born, exactly on 21 April 1879 in Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia.

Kartini is known as a woman who pioneered to fight for the rights of women where at that time a lot of discrimination between men and women. Women are not allowed to go to school. Kartini herself when she is 12 is not allowed to continue her higher education. At that time kartini often wrote letters to friends who are abroad, especially the Dutch, and tell the story and idea of the idea of women. One of her friends whom she delivered was Rosa Abendanon who came from the Netherlands. Through this Abendanon kartini often read European books and magazines. The letter was eventually collected by Abendanon and published into a book "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang". The Indonesian government awarded RA. Kartini as an Indonesian hero capable of raising the dignity of women and making Indonesian women get their rights, especially in education. The Indonesian government also sets the 21st as Kartini Day to be commemorated annually.

The first race is to decorate rice cone, which consists of 4 groups and each group consists of 6 people. The race to decorate a special cone for parents / guardians. This rice cone decoration contest aims to establish intimacy, cooperation and cohesiveness of parents / guardians. There is no competition here, all just for the festive days of kartini and friendship.

Continued with the 3rd race of singing and reading poems entitled "Mother Love". This poetry and singing contest aims to encourage children to express their feelings towards their parents, and to train their children to speak the words correctly. In this session very make me happy and happy. Happy to see the cuteness of children aged 3 to 6 years who have not been able to speak well and stammer deliver poetry and sing a song. A feeling of emotion comes when they recite the poems spontaneously about their love and affection towards their parents.
