Once everyone had left, Alex mentioned to Agung to recruit a team of teachers and educators. As of the moment, there were more than eight thousand children under the age of sixteen, and more than a thousand elderly. A few hundred of the elderly were past the unproductive age, hence, the ex-governor assigned dozens of caretakers for them.
Actually, almost all of these ten thousand people needed caretakers, because like the others, they had also lost most of their family members. The amount of caretakers was far from enough, however, they had to make do with what they had.
The age-old cure for worry and sadness was love, but if they couldn't have it, then give them hope; if they have also lost all hope, then give them something to do.
Hence, Agung proceeded to recruit a few hundred of these elderly to become educators and caretakers for the children. These weren't ideal solutions, but these must be done. At least for now.
