First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
The Unexpected Challenge

Vienna and Siti continue to work hard to overcome the obstacles they face in carrying out this additional educational project. However, they face unexpected challenges that make them even more worried.

One of the biggest challenges they face is bad weather. The monsoon season came earlier than expected, and heavy rains battered their community areas. The road to the children's houses became slippery and difficult to pass. Some children are late or can't even come to additional education programs due to bad weather.

Vienna and Siti were frustrated that they could not control the weather. They worry that this weather instability will hamper their projects and make children too often absent from additional schools.

They also face logistical problems. The donations of the books and school supplies they received were running out, and they needed to figure out how to get more. Vienna spends a lot of time looking for donors and sponsors who are willing to help.

When Vienna talks to one of the potential donors, she gets an unexpected surprise. The donor was an elderly man who also had a Muslim background. They talked about additional educational projects and how it has helped children in those communities.

However, during the conversation, the man suddenly expressed his disapproval of Vienna's idea of involving children of different faiths in the program. He argued that the program should only be for Muslim children and that teaching children of other faiths was a mistake.

Vienna was shocked and slightly struck by the man's gaze. For him, this project is about giving equal opportunities to all children to get additional education, regardless of their religion or background. He felt that empathy and kindness were the values taught in his religion and that he should stick to those principles.

These challenges made Vienna increasingly contemplate its spiritual journey. He felt that every trial was a test put forth by God, and that he should remain strong in his convictions. Although the project faced many obstacles, she felt that they should continue to struggle to provide additional education to children who need it.

The challenges facing Vienna and Siti are deepening, and this is also affecting their friendship. They have been going through a lot together since the beginning of this additional educational project, but now, tensions are starting to arise between them.

One of the things that caused the tension was their dissent in the face of donors who opposed involving children of different faiths in the program. Vienna felt very strongly about the principle that all children were entitled to additional education, while Siti was more pragmatic and wanted to keep the donations given by the donor.

The two of them engaged in heated discussions on the matter. Vienna felt that Siti was not hard enough to defend the principle, while Siti felt that Vienna was too stubborn and did not think about the overall well-being of the project.

The conversation between the two of them grew more intense, and they both felt angry and frustrated. This was the first time they had any serious conflict in their friendship, and it made them feel shaken.

In addition, the pressure from the university and academic tasks also make them feel stressed. They are often stuck in tight deadlines and high college demands. Sometimes, they feel tired and exhausted, and this affects their mood when dealing with conflicts in projects.

In addition to the conflict between Vienna and Siti, there were also other conflicts that arose within their communities. Some parents are still unsure if they should allow their children to attend these additional educational programs. This creates uncertainty in the number of participants and makes project planning even more difficult.

Although all these conflicts left Vienna and Siti feeling depressed, they knew that they had to find a way to overcome this challenge. Their friendship has gone through many trials along this journey, and they both want to keep it going.

Meanwhile, Siti also pondered in her room. He felt guilty about the conflict with Vienna, but also felt that he had to protect the project from possible failure. He prayed to find the right solution for this situation.

The two friends continue to seek a way out of the conflict they face, while continuing to hold on to the values of kindness and empathy they have learned during their spiritual journey.

Vienna and Siti finally decided to sit down together and find a solution to all the conflicts they faced. They know that their friendship is a valuable thing, and they do not want the conflict in this project to destroy it.

They gathered in the Vienna living room, accompanied by a cup of warm tea and their project notes scattered on the table. Vienna sat with a thoughtful face, while Siti clenched her hands with worry.

Vienna started the conversation, "Siti, I know we had a different opinion on the donor issue. But I also know that we both want this project to be successful. How about we try to find a compromise?"

Siti nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also want this project to be a success, Vienna. What are you thinking?"

Vienna smiled, "How about we explain to donors that we will put Muslim children first in this program, but will not exclude children from other faiths who want to join? We can emphasize that our primary goal is to provide additional education to children who need it, regardless of their religious background."

Siti thought for a moment, then replied, "That might be a good compromise. We can try to explain this to the donor and see how he reacts."

They then discussed their plans to address the logistical challenges they faced. Vienna took note of the ideas they had, while Siti gave practical advice on how to get more donations of school books and equipment.

During their conversation, Vienna and Siti also talked about their friendship. They recognize that conflict is part of human relationships, but they both want to make sure that their friendship stays strong. They promise to always be honest with each other and talk openly about their feelings.

This conversation ended the tension between them. They feel relieved to have found a solution to the conflict they are facing, and their friendship returns to its original form. They realize that with good communication and a willingness to find solutions together, they can overcome almost any obstacle.

After the meeting, Vienna and Siti began to carry out their plans. They explained to the donors about the compromise they agreed to, and the donors finally agreed. They also continue to work hard to address logistical issues and keep the project going.

These additional education projects have finally succeeded, and children in their communities continue to benefit from the program. Vienna and Siti know that their journey is not over yet, and there are still many challenges they will have to face in the future. But with their belief in the values of empathy, their strong friendship, and a determination to keep learning and growing, they are ready to face whatever comes in their meaningful journey.
