Suster Crescentiana PMY

Having encountered deaf people since her teenage years made Sister Crescentiana Tutut Wahyuningrum, PMY curious. She was friendly to deaf people in the workforce. Crescentiana serves and delves into their lives at the Dena Upakara Foundation and PT Protecda Kreasi Prima in Wonosobo, Central Java.

"When I attended SMA Bhaktitama senior high school, I lived in a dormitory. We were often taken by our physical education teacher to Dena Upakara for volleyball matches with our deaf friends. I started to gain interest and wondered how those kids were able to defeat us with so much confidence. They earned my respect," Crescentiana said at the Putri Maria Yosep (PMY) monastery in Wonosobo, Central Java, on Saturday (8/6/2019).
