Have you ever thought that we are lucky, actually ? we still have our lovely parents complete, get scholarship in a good school. How about they who stay in an orphanage, who some of them maybe an orphanage they do not live with their parents, even sometimes they face many problems and difficulties to pay the schools fee, because they are so many children who need to be managed.
We are in Sampoerna Academy, have L2L program, which one of the programs is doing the community service, for example to orphanage. In this program we do our own effort to earn money which are all of that will be given to the people who really need, they are the people in orphanage.
One of our methods is to create a handicraft from flannel fabric, which can be pin, alphabets arrangement of our name, or beautiful key ring, or gift which can hang in the door of our room or inside our car.
The buyers which the majorities are students of SMAN Sumsel usually ordered for their friends outside of school, not only for them. More and more the errand produce result more money that we can earn to help the orphan. Sometimes, some of them protest and complain when they need do wait for long time to get their errand, because we do not have a lot of leisure time to make it, because we also need to finish our homework and study.
Despite of all, we are all satisfied of our result and then we gave it to the orphanage, for them to buy school books or pay the school fee. We are also happy when they are all happy of our gift. Hopefully it can increase their motivations to study.
From this activity, we all learn that human is a social individual we need helped from the other, and to put care to each other is important. It can make us proud and become a better human when we can help the other who are not as lucky as us, isn’t it ?
