National Kebangkitan Day
not sure about how to describe it... 100 years of National Kebangkitan Day, and yet, still the economic is going at the straight line. A few days have passed though, it was supposed to be 20th May, and the funny thing is it was celebrated together with Veshak day (buddhism).. since then, alot of demonstration has been going on. People has protested towards the rise of the oil price... and yet, still many has not been helped...


And we, as Indonesian women, has got to wake up too. Not just because we are normal women, we leave this work to the men of our lives to do. Many has felt it, many wanted to shout... but somehow... they just don't have the guts to express it...

This beloved country will depend on those kids... those kids that we saw on the street, who knows only to ask for money... Let me tell you how they end up there...

Once upon a time, they were born, they may not have parents (this number is rising, as many free-sex going on too in this country, which, ironically, the government still keep denying that, for the sake of 'dignity'... frankly, what do you think dignity is all about??), and some are born with some disabilities that makes their parents reject them...

these kids, these children, will then be sent to some orphanages, some schools meant for disabled children.. and all we know, in order to help these kids, are just by giving donations, and donations, and donations...

Has it occur ever to you, that one day, the children is going to grow up... they has got to start being independent, and start their own family of theirs...They are the ones that will lead this country at the end of the day... isn't it?

If all they know is to receive donations from other people that has come to them and claim their friends, or new family members, HOW are these children is going to survive on their own without the skills they supposed to learn long before they grow up? How much survival skills do they have to live in this country? to lead this country to its best condition? or at least, to show their parents, that even with all their disabilities, they still can support even their own parents?

Finally, when it comes to failure, they give up easily... when they failed living their own lives independently, they come to us... ON THE STREET... so can you tell me, isn't it out faults, looking at the going-downstream economy? the mess we see on the street? the chaos we have to face today?

This what me and my husband see... thus, we feel that IT IS our responsibility to build, shape, and raise those children in need. Because these children is going to continue our works in the future. They ARE our FUTURE in this country. HOW ABOUT YOU?
