Universal Foundation: Sharing Happiness

On June 7th, 2009, Universal Foundation had two social activities by visiting two orphanages. One was located in Bogor (Panti Bukit Karmel) and the other one was located in Bekasi (Panti Qonita). The main reason of having this activity is to help a company to run their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program. One company, Reckitt Beckinser Indonesia (RBI) has appointed us (Universal Foundation) as an event organizer to distribute the donation and for the road show activities. We are given a main task as to distribute the products to be donated to those social organization (such as orphanage, foster house, mosque, church and others). As for the road show, we have chosen four places to be visited. Last week, we have visited two of the places.

We easily share our happiness with others while the others are in a hapiness state, but when it comes to sadness, do we easily share it with others too? Do we run away and avoid to share sadness with the others? We realize that there are a lot us who could just turn our back into those who are in the need and lock themselves from the outer world. Funny enough many find sharing sadness a way of being childish and asking for care and attention. unfortunate

On the minute we entered the hall where the children were gathered, all we can see were smiling face here and there an also the joy the children have. It was a very good start to open the road show because the children have been able to uplifted our spirit. We know that their home is their orphanage.
