Kartini’s story

On Sunday, 11.10.2009, all Cakung Sawah and Cakung Sampah community kids held a health community service. Before we started it, Kak Debby did the nails health inspection, and then cutting nails and also washing hands. After that, we sang for a while before we drank milk and while we were waiting for the doctor.

After a couple of hours, the doctor came. Me, Susi, Yana , Ondo, Yohanes, Jaka, Kiki, and Kak Aung helped carrying the medicines which were packed in a box. Besides medicines, there were also Ultra Milk and Milo milk powder.

We began the service after 11.30am. It was started with the guests introducing them selves. After that, we registered to the registration area. The person responsible for the registration was Yana . Before, Ana has had actually registered in her area where she lived with everyone who lived there.

From 36 Cakung Sawah patients, which consist of parents and children, there are many different complaints. Mostly are about difficulty to eat. There are some who are suffering from toothache, respiratory problem, headaches, and itchy skin because of skin disease or allergy, coughs, and ear problems.

We registered to Doctor Budi’s assistant, Kak Yosi. After we registered, we met the doctor for a consultation. Doctor then gave us a prescription. We took this prescription to the medicine area that was managed by Bu Sadiah, helped by Kak Yosi.

We had to queue to get the medicine, after that we went to see Bude Ika who was distributing chocolate powder sachet and Ultra Milk. Each of us got 3 sachet and 1 box of Ultra milk.

After doctor consultation and after we got the medicine and milk, all mothers of Cakung Sampah chose some clothes from the previous exhibition that was held. Clothes can be taken for free. After it was all done, we tidied up the place and all the medicine that was given. After the doctor and all medical staff finished their break, they went home.

We all accompanied the doctor and friends to the car. After that we went home to have a rest before we continued our study.
