Welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan, MDU held up a social event called MDU Charity 2013. This event took place at Darul Azhar Orphanage at Karangploso - Malang Regency , on fourth day of July 2013. The agenda started around 2 PM on that day, when several members of Malang Debating Union gathers in our assembly point, Gazebo FK UB. We directly went to Karangploso with motorcycles and arrived at Darul Azhar Orphanage after ashar. There, we're warmly welcome with the laughter and cheers voice of the orphans.
According to the caregivers as also the founders of the foundation, there were about 40 orphans in that orphanage with various ages. But lots of them were still sat on the bench of kindergarten till elementary school. Severals also now studying at high school, both junior and senior level.
The kids were so happy when we're started to greet them, and divide them in to several groups. From that groups, MDUers and the orphans were collaborating to learn more about lots of stuffs, such as drawing, climbing and public speaking.
Those kids were so exuberant when they grab the drawing books and colors pencils. It is even more when they got the instructions to draw their future ambition of job on it. Soccer player, policemen, teachers and soldiers are common jobs that they want to.
After the drawing is over, they were asked to present their drawings in front and explains to all of their friends about their future dreams. The one whose brave enough will got a special prize from MDU. But at the end, every kid will got it anyway.
Ending the cheerful moment with them, we play mini games of SNAKES , creeping and walking around the orphanage together. In the corners, there're standing MDUers to spread out the prize for all of them. We sing while walk happily at that moment.
