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.


 
Most starfish has now been completed college and have jobs respectively. They become lecturer, teacher and also employee in one of the multinational companies in Indonesia. Some of them are still scattered in various cities in order to complete their studies.

 
Through this website we will write the story of the starfish one by one in reaching their dreams and also at the same time invites you to want to share with others, beginning from the people closest to you. Come with a little extra money, we use to improve the quality of our generation, for a better world.
We also invite you to give us input on related to our missions. Maybe you all have ideas or suggestions in improving this generation, especially in education.
