My name is Indri Nuraini, second last child of 5 but I have a big dream to return to school & become a doctor when I grow up. My dad said I’m a bit shy, kind & obedient. Maybe it’s because I lost my mom when I was 5 years old from illness. After a sudden grieving goodbye, my dad needs to take care of me & my siblings. All my siblings are still in school & depending on dad, except for my oldest sister (Kak Septi) who used to work after school.Â
I stayed with my uncle for a year in the suburbs, and I didn’t enjoy it mostly because my cousins would get jealous of me whenever I got attention from their parents. That’s where I learned how to be quiet & hide my feelings, I won’t even tell if I’m unwell or skipped a meal. My dad noticed his little daughter was not going in the right direction, so he decided to take me with him to Jakarta. Even we need to share a small & damaged house with Bapak (dad), Kak Septi, Kak Rahmat, Kak Widia, Ria (siblings) but I feel more safe & welcome here. When I say damaged I really mean it, there’s some part of our outer wall that collapsed because of an apartment building nearby so you can imagine how rain will ruin our belongings.Â
After moving to Jakarta I haven’t gone back to school for almost 4 years because some of my important documents were left behind & destroyed. Last time I went to school was 1st grade, so now I need to catch up with people my age. I’m so grateful to get help from IHF, now I have registered in a non formal school as a 5th grader. I know I have a lot to catch up on, but when people believe in me that would definitely build a strong motivation in my gut. Your help is very much needed for me to finish my education without burdening my dad as he’s just a second hand seller that needs to look after 5 children and himself.
