Volunteering!

Leaving Canada with AIESEC, I have the opportunity to get sponsored up to 80% of my flight ticket and insurance up to an amount of $1800...Well, although AIESEC Canada has been EXTREMELY slow in getting back at me, I have decided to take matters in my own hand!!!!

So I spoke to the Responsible Teacher wih whom I work and we decided that my best option would be to do some volunteering at Bakti Luhur, which is an institution for children with mental and physical disabilities. It REALLY wasn't easy the first time I went there but I met great people that help me a lot...One woman even speaks English...sweeeeeet!!!!

I went on Tuesday and I was able to discuss with the sisters in Bahasa Indonesia...Of course, I have a limited vocabulary, but still....makes me happy!!!!So I decided to take pictures this week and here is the girl that I REAAAAAAALLLLLY love...Her name is Lara, she is 2 and is the cutest thing ever... I spend a lot of time with her...Bring her to physio, feed her, dress her, play with her...It really warms my heart when I see kids that have so many problems laugh when I do stupidities... :P

Seeing Lara and her 5 other friends make me think of my bro a lot...When he was a kid, he got operated and he could have been like one of the kids I spend time with here! I guess we are sometimes not grateful for our health in life! We tend to take it for granted! Think about it next time you complain....God bless you all!!!!!
