Rumah Ilham
It has been a while since I last went to Rumah Ilham (RI), an orphanage located in TTDI (in the vicinity of Rasta). I got myself involved with the work of RI volunteers at the recommendation of a friend. At first, it was a bit awkward because I didnt know how to handle myself around the kids. I was afraid that I wasnt sensitive enough, wasnt fun enough, wasnt helpful enough for the kids. But I discovered that those dont really matter. I kinda “get it” after a couple of visits. We enjoy each other’s company, and that, matters the most.
