Prima Riani Lawalata brings multifaceted expertise to her role as Secretary at PEARL, where her responsibilities extend far beyond traditional administration. She actively mentors youth and teens, provides translation and interpretation services, and contributes creative vision through graphic design. Her leadership extends nationally as Country Champion for Lifeworkx, trainer for Hands that Heal and Peace Generation, and Certified Facilitator for Indonesia's SOP on Human Trafficking Prevention and Handling, accredited by the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection. Each role reflects her deep commitment to PEARL's mission and her desire to help others grow and heal.

Prima finds profound joy in serving at PEARL because it aligns perfectly with her personal calling to support and uplift others. The organization's culture of trust, support, and shared purpose creates an environment where she can take ownership of her work while never feeling alone. "One of the greatest joys for me is meeting and walking alongside the people we serve—being able to build real connections, hear their stories, and witness their small steps of progress is incredibly meaningful," she shares. Though emotionally demanding, Prima views her work as a powerful opportunity to offer both help and hope to those who need it most.

What excites Prima most about PEARL's future is witnessing the organization's growth in depth, impact, and reach. She feels honored to contribute to a mission that aligns so closely with her values and passion for service, working alongside a team that shares a common heart for integrity and compassion. Prima looks forward to seeing PEARL reach more people, equip individuals to become changemakers in their communities, and create even greater transformation. Personally, she anticipates continuing her development as a leader while supporting others in their growth, contributing not only through administrative work but by directly empowering those PEARL serves.

Being part of PEARL feels like belonging to "a living, breathing support system where growth, collaboration, and compassion go hand in hand." Prima treasures how the organization provides space for personal development alongside service opportunities. "Here, I don't just give; I receive—through meaningful relationships, trust, and a culture that nurtures healing and development in many areas of my life," she explains. The experience has cultivated her humility and enhanced her ability to listen, lead, and serve with empathy.

Prima finds inspiration in witnessing people unite for a cause greater than themselves, knowing their collective efforts create real and lasting difference. "I believe in the power of service to transform lives—both for those we help and for ourselves," she reflects. "By preventing human trafficking and exploitation, we offer hope, healing, and the chance for others to discover their own strength to make a difference. The true reward lies in the lives changed, the smiles restored, and the light we bring into dark places."
