Totto-Chan’s Children: A Goodwill Journey to the Children of the World.
PS: finished this book while i was waiting for my friend at Juramangu Station :)
Okay before I tell you the
story of the book, I want to state my gratitude first, Alhamdulillah, I feel my
mood in reading has improved significantly than before. Different than before, I
can read at least a book in a week. It’s faster than usual. Actually I could
read a book in months or even in years, gave up easily to stop reading book if it’s
too boring and difficult. Thanks God for the improvement. Now, I can use my
time wisely, spending time in positive activities. Yup, in other words, I can
be more productive now!
Totto-Chan’s Children, A
Goodwill Journey to the Children of the World. Actually, I read this
book 2 years ago when I did my research in Rumah Sakit Marzuki Mahdi. While I waited
for the patients or subjects of my research, I was reading the book. I just couldn’t
stop page by page as the story of the book made me so curious about it. This book
succeed to make me cried in a sec. it was an amazing real story. However, I was
so busy to finish my final assignment, I had to meet my lectures, read so many
kinds of literatures or references which related to my research, and etc. That
all thing had made me forgot about the book, and I had to skip that book for 2
years later till I find the perfect mood to read it again. Whoa, How a procrastinator
I am!! Even though I hadn’t read the book for 2 years, I still remember the
last page of book which I already rad even there was no book mark inside the
book!
The story is tell about
the humanity journey of Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, as UNICEF agent, who travelled around the world, especially
went to many developed and conflict countries in purpose to know children’s
life. She visited the hospitals, schools, orphanages, ministries, and many
other place to find the information, to see the condition of unprivileged
children in many ways, such as; victim’s war, children which summmmffered from
severe disease or even dying, they who lived full of nightmare, fear, and
anxiety because of life’s difficulties, they who see the member of their family
killed in front of them, orphan children, they who lived separated with their
family, they who haven’t eat and drink for days, and etc. This book clearly describes about the
condition of various children who live not lucky as we are. It was made me
realize that we need to grateful of our condition even we thought to ourselves that
we are the most unlucky person. The truth
is, there are hundreds, thousands, even
millions of people live not as lucky as we are.
At the end, I just
wanna say thanks to Tetsuko Kuronayagi for such her courageous experiences and
shared it with us :D
