Charity on The Road

After the show was finished at our university (Ahmad Dahlan build. 5^th fl.) we went right away to the street of Mallioboro. With some written papers and an empty box also using some hats, our club and the Dharma Siswa students set up to earn the money for the charity. We gathered in front of the Vrederburg Fort, and divided the team into 3 or 4, some of us went to the people who were sitting on the black stone chairs, or in front of the Post Station Yogya, and others were really down on the street. You can’t imagine… We collected the money from vehicles to vehicles and made everybody on the street stared at all of us, especially at the foreign students.

People were looking at the paper written : “My Name is (e.g. Sabbir) from (e.g. Bangladesh), Bantu Korban Banjir Jabodetabek, Terima Kasih. Brought to you by ; SEA UMY, ESC RRI Semarang, and KangGURU Radio English”. Just look at the picture! Started from 3 – 5 pm., this charity gained more than Rp 200.000,-. We were so happy because we never thought the money would be that much. This charity is dedicated to the “Korban Banjir JABODETABEK”, and the money would be transferred to the MetroTV account especially for those flood victims. We were all tired, but we were all happy because we know that we’d never had such wonderful moment together like this anymore. It was a nice success!
