Social Service

Today there is a social service activity held by Scholar High School. Previously, fundraising has been carried out to help victims of landslides that hit residents in mountainous areas due to very high rainfall that did not stop for several days. As a result, spent a variety of needs needed by residents there. Wulan and the reportage team went there while covering all the activities. Starting from the preparation, when shopping, to the location. His three best friends, Rianti, Wulan, Ira, and Sania also participated. They also actively fund aid.

Early in the morning around 06:30 all had gathered at the school, so that it would not be too late. Considering they had to travel for two hours to get to the location. Not to mention that it must use a special mountain motor.

Because access to the location is very difficult, making four-wheeled vehicles can not enter, eventually the car was parked far from the location, and the, then proceed with a special motorbike ride to the mountains that are provided there by the ACT team (Action Fast Response).

Wulan was so full when she saw the conditions around her were so destroyed, the road was badly damaged, even cracked. Making access to the road completely paralyzed. Not to mention the houses, other buildings that were badly damaged. He was horrified to imagine how the fate of the victims when the disaster occurred. Must be panic, fear, shock, and others.

'How can a landslide in the mountains like this happen? What's wrong? ' his murmur did not understand.

Everything he saw along the way was immortalized using a camera he deliberately brought from home. While occasionally noting something that he considered important as reportage material later.

After an hour's journey, they finally arrived at the location. There are people who are victims of the disaster are gathering. In the corners there are emergency tents to accommodate residents. There are also used as posts, such as health teams, logistics teams, to public kitchens.

It is in this logistics team that all the assistance is collected, to be distributed to the citizens in need. All the volunteers who were there seemed to be quick to help the residents. Incidentally there is a free health check, there is also busy cooking in the public kitchen for lunch residents.

Wulan watched her surroundings including the citizens with hearts choked by pity, filled. His eyes began to feel hot when he imagined that at home he could still sleep soundly, but the residents here must be very difficult to sleep. Considering they have to stay in a makeshift tent as a temporary shelter until safe conditions are under control. And no one has dared to return to their homes, because they are worried about aftershocks. Considering the rain still falls without time. Some residents have also lost their homes.

Tears must not be able to hold him feel the pain they feel. In an instant they have to lose a lot, such as houses, school buildings are also destroyed, making children unable to learn, not to mention there is also a loss of family members. All of that was known while chatting with some of the citizens who were near him.

But behind that, there is also another wisdom. It turns out that there are also posts used as teaching and learning activities by teachers, assisted by volunteers who do not have the heart to see the children just playing, or sad, with the help of others, without doing any activity. Especially from the students. Comforting them.

Wulan and her three best friends, Rianti, Ira, Wulan, and Sania go around looking at the situation around. Until they saw a group of children the age of SD who were sitting in a circle, surrounding someone was busy listening to his conversation enthusiastically in one of the posts. Soon he walked closer to them. Curious, curious to know what's going on.

Apparently they were listening to the fairy tale conveyed by the man with a facial expression that is so expressive. Making children so amazed to pay attention to every expression he shows. Several times also heard the sound of their laughter when there was something funny. All this was done to entertain the children. Suddenly his heart warmed, pulling him closer. I want to see them closer.

Wulan and her friends were so surprised when she saw the storyteller turned out to be Ikbal, her upperclassman who had been a class companion during orientation.

"Sister Ikbal!" shout them in unison.

Seeing that someone was approaching, Ikbal paused his activities and greeted him,

"Please sit down, Wulan, Rianti, Ira, Sania!" his reprimand was instantaneous, making all the children turn away, looking at him who was behind them.

"Thank you, sister, " Wulan. Sit down with the kids.

"Oh yeah, introduce, this is Brother's friend. Sister Classroom in High School. It was wearing brown robe and veil in the same color as his name, Kak Wulan, who wore glasses and wear a gray robe and black veil called Kak Rianti, who wore a veil called Kak Sania, and the one who wears the blue dongker and the veil is the same color Kak Ira, the name, "Ikbal explained introducing those who had just joined.

The four said their greetings, "Assalamualaikum, sisters, "said with a smile.

They answered his greetings in unison.

All the children still looked at her even until someone called her, "The sisters are beautiful". Makes them blush in shame, until his face meets red. Unknowingly, Ikbal looked at them. Forgetting to look at him again. Upon awakening, Ikbal immediately turned his gaze in another direction.

After finishing with the fairy tale, finally the children were left free to play. Their faces looked cheerful, no longer overcast. Wulan, Rianti, Ira, Sania, and Ikbal looked at them with a relieved heart. The two finally chatted.

"Kok, Brother Ikbal can be here? I don't think we left school, do we? You didn't see Brother?" ask Wulan.

"I came here from home on purpose, and didn't go to school. Because my house is not too far from here, "Ikbal replied.

"Oh, so."

"It looks like Big Brother looks familiar with those kids, huh?" ask Rianti.

"Yes, I've been here several times" join the volunteers from the ACT team." replied Ikbal.

"Well, quick. Great to join. It is not unexpected that Big Brother is good at storytelling until they are entertained, "praise Wulan amazed.

"Thank you, let them be comforted. Among those who have lost one of their parents, some have lost it all. Just sad. In an instant they become orphans or orphans. Hopefully, what I did earlier can lessen their sadness a little. Not to mention the trauma they had to feel. Surely it will be very impregnable until at any time during their lives, "Ikbal explained mutely.

"Sister joined ACT for a long time?" ask Ira.

"Not too long, anyway. Since hearing about this landslide, I and the young people closest to here have been moved to help. I just wanted to see the situation up close. It just so happened that we met with the ACT team, eventually joining them, "Ikbal explained.

"Great, it turns out that in this era there are still people who care about their neighbors, "thank Ira amazed.

"Don't get me wrong, there's actually a lot more to care about. It's just that they usually do not want to be exposed because they want to maintain sincerity in charity" said Ikbal.

"Oh yes, right too, "said Ira justifies.

The two look back at the children who are still playing.

"Actually what happened anyway, brother? Why in the mountains like this can there be floods and landslides?" ask Sania.

"It's all because of human hands, anyway. Many forests are cut down but forget to be planted again, become bald. Not to mention, began to build housing-residential that makes water absorption reduced. And under the mountain many also contain mines that have been dredged wildly by local residents for years. It even became their livelihood. Eventually, it becomes more fragile, deh. Now that wild dredging is banned, it's too late. This is how it is, "lit Ikbal.

The four friends were mangosteen listening to Ikbal's explanation.

"Oh, it turns out that way, huh? What happened is the result of the wild deeds of man himself over the past years. And just felt now. I see, huh, Brother?" ask Wulan.

"Yes, right, "Ikbal replied.

"Well, by the way, what were you guys doing?" Ikbal asked while looking at him.

"Just go around, want to see the situation. The other friends also split up. We will meet again before the Zuhur prayer. Uh, I accidentally saw the kids who were together laughing. Finally we approached out of curiosity to know what was going on. It turns out that Brother ngedongeng. Not very unexpected. Big brother is good at it, canan put a look on his face. Just look at the problem, "wulan replied with an amused smile, remembering the look on his face earlier when he was telling a story.

Ikbal smiled, then replied, I,

"I just want to comfort them, for a moment forget the sadness that just happened to them. I hope it will reduce the trauma they feel. "

All guarantees.
