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!
