In every thriving community, there are individuals whose quiet dedication inspires others to do more, give more, and become more. For the Solve My English (SME) Community Indonesia, that person is Lucyawati Setyaningsih—known to all as Lucy. A devoted mother, an entrepreneur managing her own online store, and a lifelong learner diving into the field of data science, Lucy embodies balance and determination. But what sets her apart is how she channels her energy into the heart of the Solve My English community, ensuring it remains a place where learning, leadership, and collaboration flourish freely.
From Learner to Leader: The Power of Shared Growth
Lucy’s journey with Solve My English started like many others—she simply wanted to improve her English skills. What she found in SME wasn’t just free access to learning but also a welcoming, judgment-free space where people from all walks of life came together with a shared goal: to grow.
But Lucy didn’t stop at being a participant. As she experienced firsthand how the community supported her growth, she felt compelled to give back. When it became clear that the community needed stronger leadership, she didn’t wait for others to step up. Seeing inactivity from the existing presidential candidates, she volunteered herself—an initiative that speaks volumes about her commitment.
For Lucy, leadership is about lifting others up. She now leads 23 community organizers, constantly reminding them that volunteering isn’t always easy. There are time zones to juggle, varying schedules, and unexpected challenges. But the reward lies in what they’re building: a supportive learning environment where every effort creates lasting impact.
Creativity, Community, and Connection in Action
One of Lucy’s proudest contributions was leading Solve My English’s movie project—an event that went far beyond expectations. Under her guidance, participants didn’t just show up; they dove in. Teams collaborated to design custom backgrounds, choose matching costumes, and prepare props to fit their film themes. Lucy’s leadership wasn’t about directing—it was about motivating. Her ability to ignite passion within the community turned the project into more than a learning exercise; it became a shared experience that connected and energized everyone involved.
This creative approach to leadership also highlights the power of Solve Education!’s GAIN framework. While Lucy led the charge, through the GAIN method (Gamification, AI Coach, Incentives, and Network), learners like Lucy and her community were able to access learning in a fun, engaging, and motivating way. The movie project not only sparked creativity but also involved gamification, rewarding participants with points and incentives as they contributed. AI Coaches helped guide them, improving their English as they worked. The Network of learners collaborated, learning from each other, while Incentives such as rewards and recognition kept them engaged and motivated.
Lucy’s leadership story is also a testament to Solve Education!’s innovative approach to education. Solve Education! integrates cutting-edge technology to provide learners with a personalized learning experience that adapts to their needs. Edbot.ai, powered by AI, makes education accessible and engaging, allowing learners to study English, financial literacy, employability skills, and more, directly from their phones. This innovation is especially important for underserved communities where access to traditional educational resources may be limited.
