Journalist video time Jacob Templin went to Central Java to discover. The reasons, according to the health workers that he is interviewed, are many. Yuni Susilowati, a volunteer who personally cooks and provides meals to children in need, blamed lack of nutritional education for mothers.
Others such as Dr. Hamam Hadi, Professor of medicine at the University of Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, said the problem is a general decline in volunteering in Indonesian society. The fight against malnutrition in the country is still conducted largely by volunteers as Susilowati, a do-gooder body which has been dwindling since the time of former President Suharto.
