Verrell Bramasta is More Than Just Good Looks, Here’s His Impact for Teachers and Athletes

"I no longer want to see honorary teachers who have been teaching for years still living on a salary of three hundred thousand. They are our heroes," asserted Verrell Bramasta in a serious tone.

Not just merely rhetoric in the courtroom, this brother of Athalla Naufal also shows real action in his electoral district. He has personally spent hundreds of millions of rupiah to rebuild the PAUD Az-Zahra in Purwakarta. The building, which initially only occupied a community hall, now stands strong complete with proper classroom facilities for the nation's future children.

In addition to education, Verrell also pays great attention to the world of sports, including for athletes with disabilities. During a work visit in Karawang, this star of the soap opera Putri untuk Pangeran did not hesitate to directly try sitting volleyball with the Paralympic athletes. This experience opened his eyes to the immense struggle and dedication of special needs athletes.

"This is the first time I feel how challenging sitting volleyball is. I truly admire the dedication of the athletes," said Verrell after trying the sport.

Verrell's concern for the development of local athletes was also evident when he discovered the sad reality regarding the training facilities for rowing athletes in Purwakarta. Seeing the athletes training with makeshift gym equipment, he immediately took action to provide complete gym equipment and cover their location rental and nutrition costs for a full year.

"Let's not let our sports enthusiasm only exist in the stands, but be weak in policy," said the winner of the 2017 SCTV Awards in the Most Popular Leading Actor category.

On the other hand, Verrell also does not forget his roots in the world of art and culture. He channels hundreds of millions of rupiah in aid to artists and cultural SMEs, from dance costumes to traditional musical instruments. For him, his long experience in the entertainment industry is a valuable asset to understand the needs of artists and how to preserve cultural heritage in the digital age.

Now, amidst his busy schedule as a people's representative, Verrell remains down to earth and realizes that his duties are very heavy. He chooses to celebrate his personal moments by sharing with orphans as a form of gratitude. Verrell hopes that his steps in the political world can consistently provide a positive impact for the wider community.

"I don't ask for anything. I only ask for prayers from the community, especially for my family and the entire team that has worked together on every program," he concluded.
