Day1

                Everything weren’t as simple as expected, waking up earlier in the morning is a challenge. Upon arrival at NURI house, things become unmanageable. There aren’t enough participant for today, the main housekeeper also was absent at the moment. But still we stick to our main plan. The first day is the cleaning day. For me as a facilitator for the children is really a hard task, giving orders are not easy. Those children can’t stop running, shouting, and not giving cooperation. Gotong-royong ended earlier than planned, we literally don’t have any backup to fill those time left. Situation became chaotic and hectic but we managed to handle it soon enough. During post-mortem of the first day, we discuss a lot about what happened, though we were exhausted. By the end of the day, Solutions were successfully gained and we seek to apply it for the next day.

Day2

Today, I woke up earlier than yesterday. I feel a little bit excited to be honest, it’s weird, but it is what it is. I volunteered myself as a Zumba practitioner along with my other two teammates. Oh, also everything was rescheduled last night, turns out I’m no longer a facilitator for the children, which was a relieved for me. What happened today? Things went almost as planned, children became cooperative, although some are still wild (its their nature I guest). I couldn’t say any better, that today is a much success than yesterday and we would make things better tomorrow

Day 3

                Last day of this event. No more dull faces, everyone is one their feet now. We going to make this last day a bigger success than yesterday. Activities we’ve planned ongoing smoothly, despite some minor problems arose, we managed to act professionally to solve it. Though I’m not joining for most activities since I’m busy preparing for the closing ceremony. Again, I’ve volunteered myself, to run on some errand for the house. Lots of thing we’ve bought for the sake of better living in the house. During the closing ceremony, it was raining hard and we execute a backup plan. When everything was done, the it’s time to say goodbye. Farewell is not easy, some of us get really bonded to the children making its harder to let go. Those sad faces filled the entire evening with sorrow. Goodbye NURI children. Till we meet again. The last post-mortem even went on successfully, with a mixed feelings.

Conclusion

                This event thought me so much, and I believed my other friends also felt the same. Firstly, communication is really important, no matter how hard things could turn out you should’ve at least try. Next, backup plans are crucial. We don’t know what could’ve happened, but we should be prepared for the worst, just in case. Last but not least, learn from your mistakes. It’s a way of growing up and experiencing new things. Take in what’s make you stronger, throw away what’s done the opposite. Should you also know that love, friendships and families are the most valuable thing in this world. None worth compared.
