This morning, Alice and the other guardians made a visit to the orphanage affected by the winter. The weather today was a little friendly. Snow falls a little in the morning and the air is also not too extreme. The school has agreed to bring students to visit the orphanage as a direct humanitarian education.
The area that Alice and her son visited was a little far away and was in the suburbs. He and the other guardians used the bus themselves, separate from the bus reserved for children.
The trip lasted for an hour, with many stops as several roads were being cleared of snow by patrolmen.
After arriving at the desired place, Alice stared at the cottage building that was almost six hundred meters wide with the main courtyard about a third. This cottage was built with the model letter L. Each side of the building has two floors with many rooms for children. In addition to accommodating orphans, this orphanage also accommodates street children who are found abandoned. The owner is a long-retired local iron mill entrepreneur. After his retirement, he cooperated with the government and raised funds from many parties.
This place is a simple home where the building is made from a combination of concrete walls and eek wood. There is a fireplace in each building that warms its occupants in winter. The atmosphere of kinship and familiarity is clearly visible from this home. The proof, when Alice's group bus stopped, they were all treated to the camaraderie of small children who were busy playing in the main yard of the orphanage.
There are many toys. From slides, swings, artificial stairs specifically for children, and many other things.
The smiles of these children were perfect. Some games are just left abandoned. Maybe the funding factor, maybe the state factor so neglected. But they were still full of laughter with their friends.
Axel immediately searches for Alice's whereabouts and drags his mother to get closer to the residents of the parlour. A teacher is a mediator. He handed over major donations in the form of blankets, food, and some basic supplies such as bath soap and such to representatives of the parlour.
After the handover ceremony was completed, the atmosphere was no longer impressed stiff. Many Axel school children are allowed to play with the beach residents to get to know each other.
Whether the manager of the beach is smart in directing or indeed the children of the orphanage are easy to blend in, they all accept every presence of Axel school children with a warm attitude.
"Mom's? Don't they all have parents like I have Mommy?" axel asked innocently.
Alice rubbed the top of her son's head and gave a brief explanation
"Some of them have no parents. Some of them are unnoticed so it would be better to be here than with his family."
"Oh, is there a family that doesn't pay attention? I think the family should give each other affection. Isn't that what Mom always explained to me, Mom?" axel was confused. Her childish face made her look even more funny.
Patiently, Alice sat Axel down on one of the swings and began to push her son gently. Axel still doesn't understand life. This kid is too innocent and innocent. The family in Axel's eyes is a figure of people who love and accept each other with every circumstance and condition. Even those who encouraged him in a desperate state.
Axel doesn't know there are so many imperfect families out there. Where each day is presented is only a stifling sight of violence and pain. Such a family is not healthy. They exert a bad influence on children and make their personality and character flawed. Therefore, it is only natural that criminal cases are committed by minors. Because they actually imitate from every spectacle created their own family.
If that happens, who else is to blame? Parents don't care about children. Ligkungan urges children to be street assets that only promote physical violence. They grew up in the wrong place and developed in the wrong way. When the government finally begins to realize their existence and give care, it is often too late.
Characters that have been formed and ingrained will be difficult to remove. They've lived with it for a long time. Even if rehabilitated, the possibility of returning to crime and bad habits is still great. It is becoming a social scourge that is difficult to solve. All of that is solely due to mistakes in the child's learning pattern from the beginning.
"There are some families who are not like ours. Those who don't love each other, don't care about each other, even hurt each other." Alice explained patiently.
Axel seemed quite surprised by this. She looked at Alice and looked at her mother in disbelief. "There's such a family, Mom?" tanyanya polo's.
"There was. The world is vast and diverse, Axel. That's why Mom taught you to always be grateful, right? There are a lot of kids out there who aren't as lucky as Axel. Some even to have toys alone had to wait to be given by others."
Axel looked at his old mother. He nodded small, revealing sadness and turned to stare one by one at the orphanage children standing around him. Axel's eyes exuded pure sympathy. Feeling sad about the circumstances of those who were sent to this place for various reasons.
"How pity they are, Mom. If I had known, I would have brought my toys here and shared them with them. Whaddya think? Can it make them happy?" ask Axel lirih. His voice was filled with hope, as if wanting to share happiness with them.
Alice was grateful that her son had such high sympathy. He hopes that in the future, Axel can be a pioneer for humanitarian activities and promote morality. He wanted his son to be a good example and be imitated by his younger siblings.
"Of course, honey. It makes them very happy. Tomorrow if you get a chance, you can visit this place again with some of your toys. How's it?" alice asked for a way out.
Axel nodded happily. Secretly, in Alice's heart intends to give additional money to this home so that the livelihood of its residents is more secure. At the moment, Alice's finances are very secure. His company is growing rapidly its assets are increasing, the profits per year are also multiplying. If he doesn't use some of his wealth for humanity, what else will he do? After all money and wealth if there had been much left would only be a meaningless status.
All things in this world are created with different conditions and purposes. Not everything is for personal satisfaction. Everyone will have their own function for society. He who is smart, will contribute with science. He who sits in the office chair, will contribute to the rules he makes. He who is rich, will contribute with money. If they are not used as they should, God may withdraw his property again.
A person who is truly grateful, will make all that God has given for him can benefit humanity. That is how humans really are. Helping each other for the good of each other. True happiness comes from the things we share for others. Their smile will be a joy to us. Never get tired of giving, because actually giving will not make us lack. It is precisely the person who dares to facilitate others, will be facilitated by God also to be given additional blessings and glory.
"Dear." Alice knelt down and looked at her son seriously. "The most important concern and sympathy is here." Alice pointed at her son's chest slowly.
"Because of that, have a good heart, surely what you have will also be useful in goodness as well. You understand what I mean, don't you?" alice asked, looking at her son's innocent face.
Axel paused for a moment and nodded small. "I must have a good heart if I want to be a good person. I see, don't you, Mom?" tanyanya.
Alice nodded in confirming. Axel is a smart kid. He easily understood many things and quickly applied everything.
"You're Mom's great son. Mom is proud to have you." Alice kissed the top of her son's head and stroked him affectionately.
Axel was the Lord's care and became his most precious treasure. He became Alice's true fortune. As a parent, Alice was grateful that she had this extraordinary son.
The girl was the son of one of the parlors. He wears trousers with a simple leather jacket to protect his body from the cold air. His head was wearing a knit hat that was not too thick.
The face of this boy is so sweet. A half Asian face with chubby cheeks and milky-white skin. He looked at Alice and Axel timidly. His eyes became indecisive before finally intending to turn around as he felt noticed by them.
"Hey, what's your name, honey?" alice asked to restrain the girl's departure.
The girl paused her disappearance and looked at Alice with doubt. He had just arrived at this orphanage for three days. The atmosphere of the parlour was still too foreign to him. There is a fear of seeing strangers.
"It's okay, come closer! I just want to know your name. What's your name, sweetie?" Alice understood the obvious fear emanating in the child's eyes and tried slowly to approach him.
The boy immediately took a step back as Alice approached. He looks depressed to see Alice's efforts to do hospitality to him.
"Hey, I'm Axel. Don'tbeafraid. I'm not naughty, though. By the way, who are you?" Axel walked enthusiastically towards the boy.
Axel is a kid. He did not really understand the fear that the child had towards strangers. All he knew was that he felt sympathy for seeing the quiet girl and wanted to approach her.
Instead of approaching, the boy turned around and ran away. Axel who saw the departure of the child so confused himself. He looked at Alice, trying to ask without a word.
"Mom doesn't know why he ran. Maybe he's surprised by our presence." That was the only answer Alice could give.
"It's okay, Miskie is quiet. She had a bit of trauma with her family so her private was covered" said a woman in the caretaker's shirt. He has a round body and a pleasant friendly face. He may be about forties, or more.
Apparently this woman saw the interaction of the three of them before finally deciding to interfere because it caught the confusion of Alice and Axel's reaction.
"Oh, Miss." Alice nodded small.
"I'm Rana, one of the caretakers here." The woman reached out and was immediately greeted with a similar helping hand by Alice.
"Alice," he said, introducing himself kindly. Alice mentioned her first name like Rana.
"That kid, Misel, we just found him three days ago in a slum. He is the son of a fatherless, abandoned night woman. His mother often left him to do jobs with other men. It's very unfortunate. He was found hungry, with no food at all and with a high fever. Now her circumstances are better, but she seems to have a fear of strangers. I don't know what experience he has. With the caretaker, he also kept his distance." Rana explained at length. Alice who heard it could only smile.
Such a life really exists. Alice has heard from many people, out there sometimes the world is not too friendly.
Children who are victims of parental neglect are very many. Those who are forced to get bad treatment because of the actions of arbitrary parents. Those who do not get security guarantees and are forced to lunta.
Many people are rehabilitated each year, especially night women, to be briefed on the dangers of the association they have and what the effect is for their child. But in fact, it is still free. They return to society, act as they normally would, have children, and abandon their own flesh and blood.
Many of them lack love. Even if their mother loves them, they still have limitations. Such as education that is difficult for children to achieve, guarantees that are not obtained to be in a healthy environment that supports their growth and development, and many other things.
"I feel sorry to hear it. Such a child should still be in the stage of being pampered and protected. It would be sad to just be abandoned." Alice showed a concerned face. Axel who was on Alice's side only frowned confusedly, because he did not really understand the conversation of these adults.
"That's it, Alice. There is such a life. Sometimes, we even find things worse. There are children who are used to getting physical violence so that when we managed to bring him here, he experienced full fear of the surrounding environment" explained Rana with a floating view.
Serving in the orphanage for many years has made Rana know the ins and outs of the children here. He has a soft heart. Many times if we find abandoned children who are less fortunate, he cries silently. Regretting their fate.
"The lives of the children here are as hard as that. I hope that in the future all of them here can be more secure life. Have potential that can be developed, and be part of a good society. They deserve a great opportunity." Alice smiled slightly. He was increasingly convinced that he would make another, larger donation to this home. This place requires a lot of support from people to keep its function properly.
"Indeed that. Life is not always fun for some people. But I'm sure there's always hope for them. God put rainbows in every rain that falls." Rana philosophized. He patted Alice gently on the shoulder and looked at Axel with interest.
"By the way, who's this handsome boy?" tanyanya touched Axel's shoulder with a slight bow.
"I'm Axel Mallory. You can call me Axel, madam." Axel straightened his typical body of a child and said with pride.
"Axhelen. The perfect name. You wanna play with me? I can take you inside to meet the other residents of the parlor. Some of them are self-study here." Rana offers with her friendly face. Soon as Alice expected, the boy followed Rana with his small steps. Alice who saw their departure could only smile a little. That's son. Always interested in new things.
After their departure, Alice contemplated alone. He was very lucky to have a good family. Mom and Dad are perfect examples of parents. Helping each other, caring, and teaching Alice many things. So that when she becomes a mother, Alice can imitate their steps and apply them in everyday life.
With full attention, Alice again observed the condition of this orphanage. The little ones play along with cheerful faces. Even bigger, there is another room to study in. And those eight years old and above they're not far from here. This place has facilitated many children. Restore the lives of those who have been deprived of much before.
Alice sat behind the swing and rubbed her stomach affectionately. He'll soon have a child. Alice will be a great mother to him, teaching this child many positive things and introducing him to the world. He will make this child a child who is full of sympathy, understanding, and understanding the surrounding situation well. Alice sure. He and Klayver will be able to present good things to this child in the future.
