What is Starfish Mission?

The name of the Starfish mission is actually taken from The Starfish Story, adapted from the writings of Loren Eiseley

As a young boy and girl walked along a beach at dawn, they noticed an old man ahead of them picking up starfish and tossing them into the sea. Catching up with the man, the girl asked why he was doing this. The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die
if left in the morning sun.
“But the beach goes on for miles and there are thousands of starfish,” exclaimed the girl. “How can you alone make any difference?” The old man looked at the starfish in his hand and then tossed it safely into the waves. He turned to them, smiled and said,

I made a difference to that one. ” 

 
This story inspired a great woman named Mimi Anzel in helping a number of  students in Indonesia in continuing their studies. They are helped by Mimi are those who have graduated high school and don't have enough money to go to college. Of the many number of people in Indonesia who can not go to college, Mimi has helped some of them to be able to finish their studies and improve their quality of life.
