If there are small spots,  00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:18.760 we sort them out and they will be made  into Bothok (traditional food) or crackers.  00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:23.640 It means, um ...

Um ... tenacious, too, Ma'am? 00:03:17.492 --> 00:03:19.492 Yes, it is true. Correct.  00:03:22.793 --> 00:03:25.505 What are your hopes for  this business in the future?  00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:33.720 My hopes are this business will keep running,  Faisal will still be able to develop this business  00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:37.037 until that business can  really become his main income.  00:03:43.756 --> 00:03:48.961 Hm... When was this business started? 2012? 00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.620 Yes, in 2012. 00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:55.151 I started when Faisal was grade one of vocational school. 00:03:59.021 --> 00:04:01.021 [Faisal] The result is like this, Naufal.  00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:03.400 [Naufal] Yeah. [Faisal] The result is like this.  00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.111 [Faisal] Put some garlic, Naufal. I add garlic first.  00:04:09.245 --> 00:04:10.845 [Naufal] What kind of support is most 00:04:10.845 --> 00:04:13.667 valuable for Faisal as an autistic entrepreneur? 00:04:15.432 --> 00:04:17.432 I give him a lot of support and always   00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.862 encourage him when he feels tired so that he keeps working to continue this business. 00:04:27.243 --> 00:04:28.232 [Naufal] Okay, Ma'am.  00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:33.456 Where do you produce salted eggs? In this house?   00:04:34.115 --> 00:04:35.987 In this house. Yes. 00:04:35.987 --> 00:04:36.645 Okay. 00:04:36.645 --> 00:04:37.955 Is there no factory yet?   00:04:37.955 --> 00:04:39.955 No, he doesn't have it yet.  00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.376 I hope he will have it someday.   00:04:42.108 --> 00:04:45.587 [Naufal] Faisal, what do you do after washing the eggs? Do you add spices? 00:04:45.587 --> 00:04:46.880 [Faisal] I wash them again, and then   00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:48.771 I put them into this basin. 00:04:48.771 --> 00:04:50.600 [Naufal] Do you put them into this basin?  00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.056 [Faisal] Yes, so that the eggs become dry, Naufal. 00:04:53.362 --> 00:04:55.362 [Naufal] Yeah. And then do you give them spices?  00:04:55.362 --> 00:04:57.381 [Faisal] Yes. If the eggs already washed, 00:04:59.571 --> 00:05:02.654 I put them here. I make the spices first.  00:05:02.654 --> 00:05:03.661 [Naufal] Yeah. 00:05:05.362 --> 00:05:10.998 [Faisal] There are crushed salt,  ginger, 100 grams of chili. 00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:13.440 [Naufal] Is there any garlic?  00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:15.000 [Faisal] Yes, the garlic is a quarter. 00:05:16.829 --> 00:05:19.169 [Naufal] A quarter of what? A quarter of kilogram?  00:05:19.169 --> 00:05:20.632 [Faisal] Yes, a quarter of kilogram. 00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:24.780 Garlic.  00:05:25.140 --> 00:05:28.747 [Naufal] Yeah. [Faisal] I put this into this basin first, Naufal.  00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.305 [Naufal] Okay, Faisal. 00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:35.899 [Naufal] When does Faisal make salted eggs?  00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:42.663 [Sri] Depending on the eggs' availability.  For now, it's a bit difficult. 00:05:42.663 --> 00:05:48.545 Also, yesterday I only get 200, so today  I can only produce 200 salted eggs.  00:05:51.896 --> 00:05:55.473 [Naufal] Who supports and encourages  Faisal to start this business?  00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:01.724 [Sri] Of course, his parents, especially  his mother. That's number one.  00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:11.094 He must keep being enthusiastic, and I must always give him full support.  00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.364 [Naufal] Does that mean especially you, Ma'am? 00:06:15.534 --> 00:06:16.301 [Sri] Yes.  00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.179 [Naufal] Why was Faisal interested in  selling salted eggs, Ma'am?  00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.572 At first, we thought there were  lots of duck breeders around us,  00:06:33.953 --> 00:06:36.708 Then I thought, let's just try it,    00:06:38.792 --> 00:06:40.260 but at that time we were still 00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:45.760 using soil, bricks, you know. But Faisal felt uncomfortable   00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:50.200 using the soil. Finally, I searched  some informations in the internet,  00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:55.560 and I find the procedure of making the salted  egg using water, and until now he, um...  00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.967 enjoys it. It means that he is happy.   00:06:58.392 --> 00:07:00.392 [Naufal] Okay. Who is the target market for this business? 00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:05.120 [Sri] The target market is everybody.  There are kids who like it,  00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.600 young people, moreover for older people, because the specialty of ours is that the   00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.920 salted eggs are not too salty, because there are lots of   00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.867 spices that complete the seasoning.   00:07:16.718 --> 00:07:19.569 [Sri] Faisal, whose house do you want to deliver these eggs to? 00:07:19.569 --> 00:07:20.960 [Faisal] Mrs Wahyu's house.  00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:23.018 [Sri] Mrs. Wahyu. Be careful. [Faisal] Yes.  00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:33.238 [motorbike engine revving] 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.800 [door knocking]   00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:37.623 [Faisal] As-Salaam-Alaikum [Peace be upon you] 00:07:39.473 --> 00:07:40.951 [Customer] How much is this?  00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:47.509 [Faisal] The total is 78.000 rupiahs. 00:07:49.614 --> 00:07:51.189 [Customer] Here is the money.  00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:52.045 [Faisal] Okay. 00:07:52.045 --> 00:07:54.440 [Customer] The amount is correct, right?

[Faisal] You're welcome.  00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.920 [Naufal]: In your opinion, how do you  think society can support  00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.960 autistic individuals better in entrepreneurship?    00:08:22.406 --> 00:08:25.000 [Sri] It is actually has to be an obligation for the 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.800 people in the neighborhood to always support autistic individual like Faisal.  00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.120 What does it mean? They don't have to always buy the salted eggs,  00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.480 but they can also show their support  by telling Faisal ,such as "Wow, Faisal,   00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.706 you can do it! You do a good job!" That would be enough for Faisal.  00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.680 [Naufal] Is there any advice you could  give to other autistic individuals  00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:53.080 who are considering starting their own business? 00:08:58.417 --> 00:09:02.393 For any other young people with disabilities,   00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:10.920 it’s the obligation for parents to support them, to support for them, in providing lots of,   00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:15.600 um... what to say... working opportunities,   00:09:17.811 --> 00:09:21.895 a lot of skills which are trained to them. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.080 One of them like Faisal,  00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.640 one of them (the skills)  is how to make salted eggs.  00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:30.819 Even though, in reality, I trained lots of   00:09:30.819 --> 00:09:34.343 various skills to Faisal, but as time goes by,  00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:40.589 he produces the salted egg and eventually  also the salted eggs crackers to earn money.  00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.360 [Naufal] Thanks to Allah. [Sri] Thanks to Allah.  00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.842 Is there any plan to sell  products other than salted eggs?  00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:53.640 I have already sold all this time,  Naufal. So there are salted egg,  00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:57.240 salted egg crackers, salted egg Bothok, 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:03.291 and what is it, I forgot.

I was reminded again.. 00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:23.840 when the Yogasmara Foundation  held a group discussion event,  00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:31.423 I met Mrs. Evi who was from the  Central Java government service. 00:10:32.400 --> 00:10:41.762 Then she helped me to make registered  trading number. Then I continued to  00:10:42.520 --> 00:10:45.520 take part in food security counseling,,   00:10:54.131 --> 00:10:56.520 In Islamic fasting month (Ramadan) this year,  00:10:56.520 --> 00:10:59.687 thanks to Allah, he could earn profit  two million rupiah. 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.160 [Naufal] Last Ramadan, Ma'am?

Pack 10 eggs into each box.
