A story
from Small Kindness Indonesia Orphan and Family Fund
One of the major priorities for Small Kindness in Indonesia
is to maintain a good relationship between our office
and the orphans (and host families) we sponsor. Therefore,
we conduct visits to observe their progress. Usually,
this is done every two weeks with a different location
visited each time.
Muhammad Azri is one such orphan, who has been supported
for more than two years. He lost both of his parents
in the tsunami. Fortunately, his grandparents survived
and they are now caring for him.
Muhammad is now living with his grandparents
in Lhok Nga. He has grown up to be a happy boy in the
years following the tsunami, his face showing neither
sorrow nor sadness, for he was still very young when
tsunami hit the area.
His grandfather is very grateful for our support, since
the family themselves are of little means and have no
work by which they could support themselves.
Moreover, with each day that passes
they are getting older and weaker; and are almost entirely
reliant on the help that Small Kindness provides. Through
our help they hope that they can raise Muhammad until
he grows up.
It’s inspiring to know that orphaned children
such as Muhammad can still have bright future even though
they have lost the loved ones. Nothing is more delightful
than to see the smile on their faces. And you too can
be part of it.
If not now, when?
If not you, who?
