They will be just fine: Pengalengan children

I am not in the mood for writing. I've been a little bit sick for a couple of days. It's nothing really. It's just because of the season changing. from the dry season to rain season.

The pictures are pictures of our trauma healing program in Pengalengan, Bandung, West Java last weekend. There were 300 students we had to handle. It was fun to play again with the children. I remembered the good time with the NIS children. They enjoyed the games, the experiments, the sport equipments, the books sponsored and given by Ella, my best friend from the university who now works for a well known publisher. The children even enjoyed the green beans pap as their light lunch :-)

The second part our trip was camping at Ranca Upas camp site. It was raining but it didn't stop us to set up our tent.
I personally enjoyed the camping very much. It's been ages since I last camped. I enjoyed the cooking together part, the joking in the middle of the night, the grumbling part because of the freezing weather, and on top of that, the togetherness and the warmth among us.

Most of the people that joined the trip were new faces. It was nice to know all of them since they all like to travel. Some of them are mountain boys.
I specifically asked them to let me know if they have a plan on mountain hiking. I've never done that. There must be a first time for everything he.

Speaking about this traveling hobby. Our community is not a charity community nor a charity foundation. We are gathered together because of one reason: traveling and backpacking hobby. We would like to add an added value to our hobby. So, it would be travel and share.
Up to now, we still use sponsors but for the next projects we want to be independent.

The third part was taking our friend, Ray, to the hospital. Thanks to Ray, I didn't have the chance to go to Kawah putih. I've been dreaming to go there.
Ranca Upas is only 1 km away from this Kawah Putih area but because Ray was so sick, we all had to go back to Jakarta. Earlier than we have planned. It made more realize about faith and destiny. If something or someone isn't mean for us, then bla bla bla or anything will be beautiful in God's perfect time and bla bla.

The last part was dinner time. Everybody was tired I guess except the narcist people. But I have to thank them since they were the one who made these nice pictures.
