Many people make list of resolution to complete as New Year
approaches. As for me, this year, I decided to incite the volunteerism in me.
Having living as expatriate in other country for seven years, I thought it
would be the right time to go back home, Indonesia to make contribution to my
countrymen. In this place, where education only belongs to the privilege few,
it’s amazing to have NGO like IHF which gather people from all over the world
for an eye-opening experience. I teach English and Computer class in Bali
Centre, play with the children, do project on Saturdays, build friendship with
fellow volunteers, learn how IHF operates and travel the whole Bali Island. While
it may seem that I have given out a lot, but as a matter of fact, I received
much more. It’s a good feeling to see the kids nodding their heads because they
understand what you teach them or smiling and laughing at your funny face
expression. At the end of the day, you
realize that not only you have made a difference in their lives, but also the
other way around, they have helped you to grow as a person. With this trip checked
off the bucket list, I am so glad that I collected that courage to buy the
plane ticket and fly over. I can’t wait
to come back for many more great adventures with IHF! |
