Children are The Future

Some Emergency School Condition in North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara,

 3 Months after The 7 SR Earthquake

When I went to several emergency schools at North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara to give health education to the children those are the condition which I saw. Schools are held under a simple tent and when it was about 10 am the temperature was start to rising to an uncomfortable heat. I did not know how these children can concentrate at all. But, no, no one is complaining or show how much uncomfortable they really are. 

All these children are still as excited as before to ask questions, to read, to learn. 

In between the limited condition, they are all still so eager to learn. The spirit there is one you should never underestimate. 

So, after speaking with the headmaster of SDN 1 Medana, one of the schools which I visited, I am willing to help them with whatever possibility that I could. I just wanted to show these children that we are not abandoning them, we are always here to have their backs, we are here to support them in reaching for another galaxies. 

I would love to buy them some books, uniform for those who lost theirs in the earthquake, and some stationaries. If you wish to show some of your love to them, feel free to click this link SSFORLOMBOK  and I will be more than happy to share this love spreading journey with you. Matur Tampiasih, Terima Kasih, Thank You! :)

Love is a Verb

Dress (Minimal)

Been so unproductive these last two months since the 7 SR earthquake which I experienced in North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara last August. I might be the one complaining why it takes us so long to find the courage to get back up on our feet, to start the daily routine, to start rebuilding everything which was ruined because of the earthquake whether it is homes, workplaces, or the previously established activities. But I might also be the one who can not put my mind in the right place just to be able to finish a post. 

Clearly life after disaster is not an easy one. Where to sleep, what to eat, how to go to work, until the fastest way to take a bath got to be thought of for the earthquakes is still happening although in a less damaging intensity. So for me, I found it hard to do too much work, when it used to be an easy peasy matter for me. But I try to get back to my old routine by writing regularly again... So, wish me luck...

"Never about the flowers and all that is dashing. Always about the effort and the verb that is involved." That was the words I always talk to the one I love. When it is at their special day, or my special day, of course a little gesture to show how much we care for each other is important. 

Thank you for the flowers to the one who gave this. Thank you for the effort for no matter simple things might seem, every effort would take some of our precious time. Love is a verb, said John Mayer. 

And it really is true.
