Viran Orphanage - A Hard Truth Story from Mister X

First birthday celebration at Viran Orphanage by Birthday in a Box (BIB Batam). I'm glad that I could join the first celebration with Team 1 BIB Family even though I'm from Team 2. Previously, I never joined any first celebration in any orphanage. So, I didn't know what is the program in a BIB celebration. Anyway, one of the program was quite open my mind. Before I share a hard truth story, I would tell you what we did last week at here. 

Zhen (volunteer) put name tag for Tama (pink dress sweetie), 2 kids in front is Rinto (left) and Rando (right)

When we arrived at Viran Orphanage, kids was standby for welcoming us. They hadn't met us before and we didn't know each other. That was the first time we visited here.  As usual, we had prepared a name tag for each child, so volunteers will call kids by name.

First thing we do was fuel up tummy with delicious food before play game. Lunch was sponsored by Ms.SFY. Thank you for your kinds, kids and volunteers love it so much. 

Jerry (volunteer) and team.

After lunch, we started our next program. 

Write down 3 things what made you happy, 3 things what made you sad and 3 things what you wanna be or do in a year ahead and then you will read it again on BIB last celebration at here. This is what we usually do in first celebration at any orphanage.

We divided kids in to 5 groups with 2 volunteers in each group. 

Girl, what did you write?

Shiling teached kids how to fold origami in to heart shape

Jenius with his heart.

Jenius is a very passionate kid. I don't know him well but the first impression he gave me was he is a kid who would try hard to make something better. Why I said that? Actually, we only asked kids to write down 3 things but he wrote down more than 3 things. Honestly, what he wrote is kinda same and he didn't know what to write but he just tried hard to find more and more.

Let me tell you what he wrote. Actually, I just remember some of points like:

I'm happy because I had a delicious lunch today

I'm happy because I have new friend today 

I'm sad because my friends left me 

I'm sad because people hit me

I'm sad because I forgot to do homework

I want to get high score

I want to get ranking 

I want to go to beach

I was kinda shocked when he said I'm sad because people hit me. So, I asked Jenius directly, "who hit you?", he said friend. And actually not only he wrote this, Nathan and Pater also wrote the same. I really want to find out what happened exactly? 

Yeah, I just remembered Nathan. Honestly, their dream are so simple. Desmond (volunteer) told me that Nathan wrote down that "I want to eat KFC". Easy dream for you, my dear readers but sure this is not easy for kids. So, after you read my blog and then wanna donate KFC for kid's lunches, please do not hesitate to contact us at 0852-6369-8998 (Reni).

Mister X with his secret

Well, this is what I wanna highlight in this post. A hard truth story from Mister X. Sorry, I couldn't tell you his name since he was so secretly wrote down his feeling and not let anyone else know include me.

What 3 things that Mr.X wrote down: 

I'm sad because people hit me

I'm sad because my mom left me

I'm sad because people scolded me 

When I saw what he wrote, it's really made me felt so sad. Before that, I and Desmond tried to cheer up those kids like maybe you could wrote like I'm sad because I forgot to do homework or I'm sad because I'm not full, still hungry and others. So, those kids just wrote something that simple. 

But Mister X. just wrote down his sadness deep inside. 

Hey brothers, sisters, my dear readers! There are a lot of unfortunate kids in this world, please cherish what you have now. You should feel bless because you still have mom, dad, and beloved family. But... they don't have...

Our birthday kids on February 2017, first celebration at Viran Orphanage. Happy Birthday!
Thank you baker for sponsor delicious cupcake.

Times up! Now is the time to give goodies to kids. 
Thank you to Mr. Teddy Novendy for sponsored dolls for Viran Orphanage's sweetie. 
Once Santa Ted ever told that why he sponsor doll for kids because these kids have no parents, so he hope the dolls could be being their friends. 
I'm glad that BIB could arrange to give the dolls to Viran Orphanage as the first gift from BIB. I believe they would very cherish the first gift from us. May the doll could being their friend to cuddle and catch all of the tears and of course share the joy and happiness.
