Being a Part of Sahabat Anak

I always love kids. So when my friend M, asked me to join him in volunteering with Sahabat Anak (or Child's Best Friend in English) without thinking for too long I said Yes.
Sahabat Anak is non governmental organization with a vision to make the street children to feel that they are all a valuable human being just like everyone else.

My task at first was helping M to create material in one of Sahabat Anak 2016 project: Hari Sahabat Anak (HSA) with major theme Nutrition for Achievement (Gizi untuk Prestasi). This will be a roadshow in some places in Jabodetabek, and other cities in Indonesia, the main target of this project is marginal children and their parents or guardians.Then, I also joined M, and other team from Sahabat Anak, also volunteer from various background to HSA 2016 roadshow. We (together with M, and other friends from nutritional background) teach the children and/or their parents about how nutrition in the food you/your kids eat will help you/them to reach achievement you/they are willing for. The roadshow was starting on April and Ends in June 2016 for Jabodetabek area. It was such a fun and fulfilling experiences. I got to teach people about nutrition which I have studied for several years during my bachelor years. I got lot of thanks form parents after the sharing session. I also met lot of people who just love to share with other people. And  I met lot of kids.

Joined Sahabat Anak roadshow reminds me that sharing is fulfilling, and fun. When you make other people happy, you will also feel their happiness.
