Our little shop is now glowing: a new spirit at night

light installation

Today was a busy but happy day for me and our little family. From morning until noon, I focused on preparing everything for the installation of the Ampere Box lamp at our small business. The main goal of this installation was to keep our shop lit at night, providing comfort for customers who came to buy fried food, bandrek, or stir-fried noodles made by my wife. The local PLN (State Electricity Company) members came with complete equipment to carry out the installation, from measuring to installing and connecting the electricity.

The cost of installing this Ampere box was Rp 1,450,000, and while it's quite substantial for a small business like ours, I believe it's a significant investment for the comfort and future success of our shop. While I coordinated with the PLN officers, my wife continued selling as usual at our small stall. She patiently served incoming customers while observing the installation process.

In her spare time, my wife also made mini burgers for the kids, which we sold for Rp 1,000 each. This simple dish caught the attention of the local children, who came eagerly to buy my wife's delicious, tender, handmade burgers. Seeing their enthusiasm made my tired workday feel like it had paid off.

That evening, after the installation process was complete, the Amper box was activated, and the lights in our shop came on for the first time. A feeling of joy and relief was palpable. Our shop now looks more lively at night, ready to welcome customers who come to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere while enjoying warm fried foods and Acehnese spiced bandrek.

Today's moment is a reminder that every endeavor, no matter how small, requires struggle and cooperation. I am proud of my wife's continued patience and support, and grateful to the PLN officers who work quickly and kindly. Hopefully, with this new lighting, our small business will thrive, be blessed, and become a source of peaceful sustenance for our little family.
