About the video:
In this powerful video, we delve into the story of Nurkholis, a former street racer from Jakarta who turned his life around through an innovative program called The Learning Farm. Once a troubled youth covered in tattoos, piercings, and scars from his risky motorcycle racing days, Nurkholis found hope and purpose on a residential farm dedicated to empowering young people.
Watch as we explore how this farm teaches life skills, nurtures dignity, and transforms at-risk youth into successful farmer entrepreneurs, sending them back to their communities with a renewed sense of hope and responsibility. This is a story of redemption, resilience, and the power of second chances.
