Reciept of bank transfer to the indonesian red cross, with total amount 500 USD from the international students in University of Pecs, Hungary

Fund Raising in Medical Faculty of University of Pecs, Hungary where the international Students don't hesitate to help the ones in need!!

i got informed by one of my good friend in South Korea (Andy Tirta) about "one day for Indonesia" and he asked me to join hands with all the indonesian students in South Korea to gain some donation for the victims of tsunami in Mentawai and volcano eruption of Mount Merapi in Central Java. I didn't hesitate for any second and i just decided to join them though i'm the only Indonesian here. I care about my home country and i would love to do something real to help.

I got the poster within a few days from Muhammad Hilmy Alfaruqi from South Korea and right after that i printed them out as some posters and 500 flyers. I put the posters all around my university (Medical Faculty of University of Pecs in Hungary)

Being the only Indonesian student here, i felt that it would be really hard to do this by myself. But then some of my good friends helped me. They are from different countries like Ireland, Sweden, Japan, and South Korea as well. 

The first day was on Friday, November 19, 2010. I was sitting by the entrance of the university with a donation box and with my friends' help we managed to hand out almost all the flyers and get a total amount of 37.740 Hungarian Forints although we only sat there for a couple hours and there weren't so many students on that day. The enthuasiasm of the students in my university which are most international students and hungarian students as well was unexpectedly really high. They were aware of the disasters which happened in Indonesia and didn't hesitate at all to donate some of their pocket money for the people in need.

The second day was on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, i did something different on that day. i made 100 spring rolls to give them to all the people  who want to donate. It attracted even more people to donate and as the result we managed to get 62.420 Hungarian Forints on that day. I was really thankful to my international friends who helped me and spent some hours with me despite of the semester exam which is coming up soon.

So in just two days and in total 4 hours we managed to get 100.160 Hungarian forints which is equal to almost 500 USD. I wouldn't be able to do it without all of the students in my beloved university who didn't hesitate at all to help other student from other country knowing that her home country desperately needs help. This proves that the world still cares for Indonesia and being the only one indonesian student in the whole university is not supposed to stop us to do something for our home country despite of the distance.

I'm going to send all the money directly to the Indonesian Red Cross as soon as possible and i'll put the receipt here as well.

I was  really happy to join this special movement and i'm so proud of my indonesian friends in South Korea who initiated this movement. I'm thanking Mr. Andi Tirta who asked me to join this movement at the first place and also Mr. Muhammad Hilmy Alfaruqi who made the poster for me and also all the indonesian students in South Korea who participated in this movement as well. 

Being far away from home doesn't mean that we can stop caring about our people and it's not an excuse to do nothing to help.

Keep up the spirit!! i DO believe that together we can do anything for a better Indonesia.

Best Regards,

Cindy Patricia

hanya ini, pengingat di hati..

United we stand, divided we fall…

Peribahasa lawas yang konon memberikan efek paling jitu dalam mempererat kebersamaan, jiwa saling menolong di bangsa Indonesia. Pengejawantahannya pun sempat diabadikan sebagai nama Kabinet di masa pemerintahan Megawati, “Kabinet Gotong royong”. Bergerak ke masa sekarang, saya pun teringat lagi akan pernyataan Presiden Obama di Public lecture di UI kemaren, yang mengatakan bahwa “ Unity in diversity”, yang secara lugas mengingatkan kita tentang ke-Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”-an kita yang sepertinya makin lama makin memudar. Seharusnya kita ga punya alasan untuk menjadi pesimis, sebaliknya kita, para generasi muda harus optimis dalam meraih sukses itu, menjadikan bangsa Indonesia sebagai bangsa yang besar ditengah kemajemukannya.

Dan Gerakan  #onedayforindonesia ini adalah bukti nyata betapa kita yang berbeda-beda karakter, berbeda isi kepala, berbeda prioritas, dihadapkan pada satu kata mufakat :”bersatu untuk Indonesia”. Dan gerakan #onedayforindonesia ini memaksa kita untuk tak hanya sekedar ber-simpati tetapi ber-empati, memposisikan diri kita seperti saudara-saudara yang tertimpa musibah di Mentawai dan Merapi. Saya ceritalah dulu, bahwa beberapa hari setelah kejadian beruntun Tsunami di Mentawai dan Merapi di Yogyakarta, saat itu saya benar-benar di level yang paling down. Perasaannya adalah seperti kita sedang berprofesi sebagai ahli nujum lengkap dengan bola Kristal-nya. Saya memposisikan diri saya sebagai ahli nujum tadi dan menatap bola Kristal yang berpendar-pendar itu. Saya bisa menatap isi bola Kristal itu, merasakan atmosfir-nya, tetapi hanya berakhir dengan desahan :”ah, malang sekali.” Saya sempat terbawa emosi, nangis liat foto-foto yang di tweet-kan para pekicau di ruang maya itu, dan saya sepertinya tidak ingin hanya sebatas itu. Akhirnya saya ngajak teman-teman mahasiswa se-PKNU untuk nyisihin beberapa lembar won-nya, saat itu kami tidak berpikiran tentang berapa banyak dana yang kami bisa kumpulkan, kepada siapa disalurkan dan bagaimana system pengiriman. Yang terpikir saat itu adalah, kami harus berbuat, apapun itu, seberapa pun itu. Dan puji Tuhan kami berhasil menggalang dana saat itu hanya dalam hitungan jam kalau tidak salah.

Kemudian saat om boy dan mas Hilmy ngajakin bikin gerakan #onedayforindonesia ini, kembali saya menantang warga PKNU untuk ikut ambil bagian di gerakan amal ini. Mampukah kami mengemban amanat perikemanusiaan ini? pikir saya saat itu. Awalnya tak mudah ternyata, kami terbentur pada harapan tak seindah kenyataan. Sempat berada di persimpangan, di perbedaan pendapat, dan di betapa sulitnya menyatukan ritme jadwal kuliah dan tugas lab yang seakan tiada pernah selesai itu. Jujur, jika hanya saya dan beberapa orang saja yang terlibat, saya sedikit kuatir kami hanya mampu menjangkau sedikit komunitas saja. Akhirnya setelah berdamai dengan ego dan kepentingan, kami pun mampu meleburkan diri kami sebagai sebuah keluarga, berteduh di satu rumah yang dibangun berdasarkan keberagaman tadi. Kami pun mampu menyuarakan tentang Indonesia kepada orang-orang sekitar kami di PKNU, menjangkau lebih banyak lagi komunitas, memohon uluran tangan dan untaian doa bagi saudara-saudara kita yang berada dikesesakan saat ini.

#onedayforindonesia yang digawangi oleh #PKNUpeduli, akhirnya mampu mengumpulkan sedikit bantuan namun sarat makna buat kami. Ternyata kami bisa sangat kompak, sehati, sepikir, dan seperti saudara yang terikat tebal oleh tali kasih dan… taukah kalian, semangat ini masih menjalari hati saya dan teman-teman PKNU hingga dini hari ini. Saya berharap malam ini saudara-saudara yang sedang mengungsi bisa tertidur nyenyak, meyakinkan diri bahwa kalian disana tidak sendiri, ada banyak orang yang sedang mengirimkan kalian dukungan, menyebutkan kalian di lirihan doa malamnya dan seperti kami yang masih tersesaki perasaan haru yang menghangatkan rongga dada.

Terimakasih untuk dukungan dan semangat dari rekan-rekan dimanapun kalian berada, untuk warga PKNU kebanggaan saya, untuk Bu Lurah Perpika3, untuk para donatur yang telah memberikan cinta-nya melalui pesan-pesan kasih di secarik karton kuning, untuk kesediaannya merogoh kocek demi membantu sesama… semoga Tuhan yang membalas semua kebaikan hati kalian.

Hanya ini, pengingat di hati…..mungkin apa yang kita bisa lakukan saat ini semacam melipat kertas origami membentuk angsa kertas, analoginya seperti ini:

Angsa kertas.
Ini semacam do’a. Teruntuk kamu.
Akan kulipat sampai genap seribu.
Lalu kutukar dengan satu permintaan: 
 mendengar gelak tawamu.

Sesungguhnya dibalik kesulitan pasti ada kemudahan
-Cepat tersenyum lagi, Indonesa ku- Annisa

Galang Dana di Masjid Jami Seoul 12 Nov 2010

Seoul, 12 Nov 2010

Ba'da Salat Jumat

Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Kamu melihat kaum mukminin dalam hal sayang menyayangi, cinta mencintai, dan kasih mengasihi, bagaikan satu tubuh. jika ada salah satu anggota tubuh yang mengeluh (sakit), maka anggota tubuh lainnya ikut merasakannya dengan tidak bisa tidur dan demam.” (Hadis Shahih, Riwayat al-Bukhari: 5552, Muslim: 4685, dan Ahmad: 17648. teks hadis di atas riwayat al-Bukhari)

Kegiatan mengumpulkan dana bagi korban bencana banjir di Wasior, Tsunami di Mentawai, dan letusan Gunung Merapi d Jawa Tengah mendapatkan dukungan positif dari pengurus & jamaah Masjid Jami Seoul. 

Perizinan kami mulai sehari sebelumnya setelah menemui pengurus masjid jami dan mengutarakan maksud kami. Jawaban yg kami terima pada prinsipnya pengurus tdk berkeberatan asalkan disertai surat yg jelas dari wadah organisasi yg secara resmi terdaftar di kedutaan.

Keesokan harinya kami menghadap kembali pengurus dgn membawa "surat sakti" tersebut dan alhamdulillah langsung disetujui oleh pengurus yg diwakili oleh imam masjid. Adapun beberapa catatan yg ia kemukakan antara lain agar transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan profesionalisme dlm mengelola dana umat ini harus menjadi perhatian agar tidak terjadi hal2 yg tidak diinginkan.

Singkat cerita, usai salat Jumat, imam pun langsung memberikan mic pada kami. kami pun langsung mengutarakan maksud & tujuan kami kpd jamaah. Alhamdulillah, respons yg kami terima sungguh menggembirakan. Baru saja selesai mengumumkan penggalangan dana ada orang langsung memberikan uang "tebal" kepada kami. Setelah itu, jamaah yg keluar dari masjid pun banyak yg memberikan sadakahnya kepada teman kami yg membawa kotak amal di luar tangga masjid.  

Setelah selesai mengumpulkan sedekah dari seluruh jamaah masjid maka kami menghitungnya di kantor KMF di depan pengurus masjid. Setelah dihitung bersama, total yang kami terima dari sedekah jamaah adalah sebesar 1.859.004 KRW.  Alhamdulillah, semoga amal sedekah jamaah Masjid Jami Seoul diberikan balasan yg terbaik oleh Allah SWT. 

"Siapakah yang mau memberi pinjaman kepada Allah, pinjaman yang baik (menafkahkan hartanya di jalan Allah), maka Allah akan meperlipat gandakan pembayaran kepadanya dengan lipat ganda yang banyak. Dan Allah menyempitkan dan melapangkan (rezki) dan kepada-Nya-lah kamu dikembalikan." (Al Baqarah: 245)

Fund Raising in Seoul Central Mosque 12 November 2010

Seoul, Friday, November 12, 2010

After Friday Prayer 

 

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said "The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympahty are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body to it wakefulness and fever" (Al Bukhari and Muslim).

Raise funding for flood victims in Wasior, Tsunami in Mentawai, and the eruption of Mount Merapi in Central Java got positive support from jamaah and Seoul Central Mosque Board.

Our action starts on Thursday when we come to Seoul Central Mosque to get the permission. We explained about our aims and objectives of "One Day for Indonesia" action. We received warm answer from the board that basically they supports us if we fully accompanied by a official letter from registered organization clearly stating the aims and objectives of the action together with contact person for the person in charge. 

On the next day, we were once again met with the board. This time is with our official letter as they requested it. Alhamdulillah, after reading it thoroughly, the board directly approves it. He notified that we must take care the funds transparently, accountable, and professional in order to prevent from all unwanted things.

In a nutshell, after Friday prayer, the imam immediately gives us the microphone. Then we communicate our purpose to jamaah. Alhamdulillah, the response we received was heartening. We had ended the announcement, one man comes to gives his donation. Subsequently, jamaah who come out from the mosque give their donation to our colleagues who standbys with their donation boxes below the stairs. 

After we closed to collect donations from all jamaah of Seoul Central Mosque, we went to the KMF office to count them together in front of KMF staffs. After reckoned together, the total of donations we received amounted to 1,859,004 KRW. Alhamdulillah, may Allah grant you with the best rewards. Amen.

"Who is he that will lend Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and to Him you shall return (Al Baqarah: 245)
