Where is our conscience when looking at a portrait of life like this?
Is our hearts touched?

The stories of people who suffer from poverty seem to be endless and become very heartbreaking portraits. Like this family couple who live in anchored and palm-fringed houses that have rumblings that raise a child in difficulty. This family is known not to have a decent dwelling and when the rain was forced to move to seek shelter.

To fulfill his daily needs, this family works as an agricultural laborer and his wife is washing and ironing laborers. This family is also believed to care for dozens of goats belonging to its neighbors.
Very sad, this family is often forced to hold hungry if there is no citizen who needs his services, so there is no money to meet the staple food needs for his family.

This little boy is not like any other child who can taste education from small but he helps parents keep goats while his parents are working. Until when this kid can live like other children who can play and laugh with his peers.

Look at this family just eating the foliage unlike any other family. There is not a single rice in front of them that can be eaten.
Sad to see it


Sometimes a woman must replace her husband's position as the backbone of her family.
Look at the widow with her two children having to bear the burden of supporting two of her children. Her husband's heritage house is currently unfit for habitation to occupy it again but he did not know who to complain to.
Life even though he had to struggle hard to find a bite of rice to support his son.

If within a person there is still shame and afraid to do good, then the guarantee for that person is not going to meet him with any progress.


Apabila di dalam diri seseorang masih ada rasa malu dan takut untuk berbuat suatu kebaikan, maka jaminan bagi orang tersebut adalah tidak akan bertemunya ia dengan kemajuan selangkah pun. ~ Bung Karno

A question, do we have to stand by when we see our brother living below the poverty line?
How do we think about finding a way out?
Do not just expect the government to help build this decent house and do not always expect the social worker to help them.
We are also part of them and do as we can.

Thanks
