Social Journey is one of the event in Social Development (SD) one
of division in HIMAPRO-SI UINSA that we always held in every year . On
Wednesday, May 17, 2017, there were about 9 the members of Social Development
and with the others member from Human Resources Development (HRD), Media and
Creative Development (MCD), Networking Development (ND), and UKM Moesad who
visited the Children’s cancer ward at the Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia
(YKAKI) which is located at Karang Menjangan street, Surabaya. At this
location, HIMAPRO-SI members conducted an activity with the theme of “Share to
Care” to share the happiness with children with cancer disease that lives at
YKAKI.
YKAKI is contained on love,
empathy for children with cancer disease as well as their parents. YKAKI
program is created to provide education access while going through the healing
process and supporting the parents of the children. At this place, they are not
only just living in a comfortable place while receive medical treatment but
also they get access for education, playground, socialization of cancer
prevention on children for parents, transportation to the hospital, and medical
assitance.
In supporting YKAKI activity, HIMAPRO-SI members contributed money
that will be used to buy diapers for the ailing children. Not only that, they
visited them to share happiness through activities that are entertaining such
as singing, storytelling, and playing around. HIMAPRO-SI members soscialize
together with children with cancer disease as they carrying them around, taking
them on their lap, as well as making conversation just to know what their hopes
are and what their feelings are. They are singing their selected songs
together. Even though they are physically ill, but they are also talented and
smart. They were full of joy which could be seen on their happy faces.
YKAKI staffs welcomed Social Development activity positively and
they hope the activity will be continue in the next year, because this activity
can give spirits to children and help their healing process. So, don’t let
these kids fight cancer alone, guys!
