First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Contact with Palestine
Following the announcement of Vienna's plans to continue studying abroad, his close friends began to reflect on ways they could provide support and make a positive contribution to the humanitarian mission that has deeply affected Vienna. An idea arose, and in a short time, a new group of volunteers was formed.
One day, Vienna gathers with her friends in a beautiful city park surrounded by shady trees and colorful flowers. They sit in the shade of a large tree that provides shade.
Mira, a close friend of Vienna, enthusiastically asked, "Vienna, what if we formed a volunteer group focused on humanitarian aid and the assistance of victims of conflict? We can follow in your footsteps and provide help to those in need."
Vienna smiled and nodded, "That's a wonderful idea, Mira! I am very happy to see my friends want to contribute to humanity. Let's do this together."
The group was named the "Viennial Spirit Humanitarian Volunteers" in honor of their friend who had fought passionately in the humanitarian mission in Palestine.
The first meeting of the volunteer group took place at the Vienna home. They gathered in a warm living room with brightly colored walls and wooden floors. Vienna sat among her friends, putting some photos from her travels in Palestine on a wooden table in the middle of the room.
Rizky, one of the friends involved in the group, said, "Wina, we want to learn from your experience and get your guidance in this humanitarian effort."
Vienna smiled and began to talk about the experience in Palestine and how humanitarian aid can make a real difference in the lives of people affected by the conflict. He described moments in which they felt that their presence was much needed and precious.
Mira added, "We also want to raise funds for humanitarian projects. How can we start?"
Vienna is advising on how it can organise fundraisers and contact humanitarian organisations who may be working in areas in need of assistance. They plan some upcoming fundraising events and set a schedule for their visits to places that need help.
In the weeks that followed, this group of volunteers became increasingly active. They organize charity bazaars in city parks, hold charity shows to raise funds, and participate in neighborhood cleaning activities involving local residents.
When they visit orphanages and other places of social service, the facial expressions of the children receiving their help are a mixture of happiness and hope. This gives additional encouragement to volunteer groups to continue working diligently.
One day, they receive a letter from an international humanitarian organization inviting them to participate in humanitarian projects in conflict-affected regions of Central Asia. Vienna was overjoyed to read it, and her friends also felt eager to follow in her footsteps.
They talked about their plans for the next mission, set up follow-up meetings, and began preparations for the upcoming humanitarian project. Their decision to form a volunteer group and contribute to humanitarian aid is a remarkable milestone in their lives, one filled with passion and determination to make a difference.
Following in the footsteps of Vienna, they felt that in undergoing a humanitarian mission, they had found a greater purpose in their lives, and together they feel they have the potential to create a positive impact in a world of constant conflict. Vienna is very proud and grateful to friends who support it and who have committed to being agents of positive change in humanitarian efforts.
Vienna continues to maintain contact with Omar's family and Dr. Layla in Palestine through video calls and text messages. Even though they were far away, the bond of friendship they had built up during their journey still remained strong.
Approaching his phone with a smile, Vienna answered the call, "Hello, Dr. Layla! How's things going?"
Dr. Layla smiled and said, "We are all good here even though the situation remains difficult. How's your life there?"
Vienna shared the news of the formation of a volunteer group and its plans to pursue studies abroad. He also asked about Omar's family.
Dr. Layla explains, "Omar is growing well. He misses you so much, Viennese. Every time he saw an airplane in the sky, he asked if you would come again."
Vienna smiled at the sight and was pleased that she was still in Omar's mind despite the distance. They talk about the plans of volunteer groups and how they can work together on upcoming humanitarian projects.
During the video call, Vienna shared photos and videos of fundraising events that had been held by volunteer groups in Indonesia. Dr. Layla was impressed with the group's spirit and determination.
A few weeks later, the volunteer group sent a congratulatory video and a message of support to Omar's family and the medical team in Palestine. They expressed their hope to collaborate further and provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians.
One night, Vienna receives a text message from Omar's family informing him that Omar will be celebrating his birthday. They invited Vienna to join Omar's birthday celebration via video call.
Vienna was pleased with the invitation and immediately agreed. On Omar's birthday, he receives a video call from Omar's family who are inside their modest home in Gaza. They had arranged a small party with a simple decorated birthday cake and small candles.
Omar smiled cheerfully as he cut his birthday cake, and his family sang birthday songs in Arabic. Vienna joins them in singing and wishes Omar a happy birthday.
After the anniversary celebrations were over, they spoke further about developments in Palestine and the ongoing conflict situation. Vienna promised to continue supporting them in humanitarian efforts and to share good news from Indonesia about the efforts of volunteer groups in raising funds for humanitarian projects.
Over the next few months, Vienna and Omar's family and Dr. Layla keeps contact and shares news. They feel that despite the distance, their friendly ties remain strong and support each other in humanitarian efforts.
Vienna also continues to motivate volunteer groups in Indonesia with stories from the Palestinians and provide a deep perspective on the importance of humanitarian aid in conflict-affected areas.
The contact was maintained between Vienna and Omar's family and Dr. Layla is an inspiration to all of them. They realize that their humanitarian bond is something of great value and that despite being a long distance away, they can continue to provide support and share hope with each other in the midst of difficult situations.
