Ruri and Rahmat were clapped and sung Happy Birthday Song by other children, and then blew out candles stuck on thin cake, hold by Kak Icha. Not all the candles turned off, but Ruri sat down and cried. All of the Kakak got worried, was it something happened to his 10 years old girl. In her weep, Ruri said that she was touched since it was her first time celebrate birthday with candles, cake and song performed by her friends.
The touching moment was not last long. Ruri looked happy again when her friends lined up to greet her. A blue plastic bag from Kak Icha, brought a big smile on her face.
That Sunday (19/12/2010) afternoon was the first period of Sahabat Anak Nutrition Program delivered to the children from Jatiasih Free Tutoring. Sahabat Anak channelled the public donation – where every IDR 50,000 means 1 child at the scavenger community can have nutritious assumption for 3 months.
Though sit on thin sheets and cardboards, it does not lessen the children’s enthusiastic for studying. Surrounded by mounted trashes from their scavenger activity, the shade from a huge tree and light breeze brought a little comfort to concentrate on the lesson.
“Don’t forget to do your homework, okay…” Icha the Person in Charge (PIC) of Jatiasih Free Tutorial reminded. After 2 hours tutoring, the children who mostly joined 2010 Sahabat Anak Jamboree, closed their books and listened to the message of how important nutrition is.
Lunch was distributed with menu: rice, vegetables, chicken, and chips; then the cut-into-pieces fresh watermelons and bottles of chocolate milk. Kak Wawan – one of the tutor volunteer – delivered chocolate wafers, which were bought personally. Before that, two generous donors who knew this event from sahabatanak twitter came and shared delicious snacks to the children.
The joy on the children’s faces could not be hidden, also for us, the volunteers they call Kakak. This is the essence of all Sahabat Anak program: bring out the joy to fulfil the children’s right, including the needy marginalized children throughout this nation.
