Uncle Budi Soehardi, The Captain and Papa of Compassion

Shortly, we are having a lit discussion in that meeting. I started asking him his track record in humanity project which he has done before tremendously. He was posting some sort of children activities and agricultural in kupang. Curiously I am wondering to know his struggles to get in charged of social work. He starts talking about Roslin Orphanage house which is built in 1999 very harder with some negative rumors  and his struggle to make paddy-field which is almost impossible due to poor land. The land was so many rock. That rock were dried and calcareous. It seems there's no source of wellspring in it. However, he tried his best to make the land having result, his wish to be true, miraculously work by the Grace of God. The paddy were being planted growing higher and bigger when the time to harvest it. Paddy can be 15 ton a period of harvesting. It is sufficient to give away for people living around.

The land was so taken care by himself learning through internet. His wife and him have been really working together to fertilize that poor land, he shown me a video about his wife and him did is to hoe tons of manure for land with a mattock. That manure is very strong scent of bad smelling but they did by themselves with no hiring anyone to help.that manure was bought by himself some trucks are ordered to fertilize the land, he wanted to produce the food for kids and people around by  independent of food to economize the operational cost because he himself has to pay out the cost with his salary even his friends helped somehow.

 

 

Then another chance, I ask him about the children Roslin Orphanage, they do not limit any kids to live in wih them, even there's a baby was left in front of Roslin's house, a baby is just born a day of year. They looked after baby till growth up. While Capt Budi is speaking , I keep my eye on him to see his face and body language, he is looked very exhausted, but he told joyfully. I do not see he had burdens despite I perceived so many things in his thoughts to be working on. His family truly supported what he has been doing and unlikely other support with no action, his family is truly solid. His wife, own children and him do it together with no hoping pay back from what they done.

 

 

The fostering children in Roslin's house were treated as well as capt Budi treated his own children. Fully of love caring. He is not just stopping his caring of love, he gives those children of Roslin's house proper education, he sent them school until college without any term of condition. Some children were in Kindergarten, Primary School, Secondary, and university. He just want yo ensure them future ahead.He really put the love as foundation to serve with a fully of love. Based on he just said, I attempted to ask more , if those children were graduated from school will they get in charged to help others? He answered me lightly," I do not do this for any reason to have a paid back, if they are graduated, they can get back home to their own parent with no paying anything. surely I have been doing this , I am scared to play with God by his blessings upon me , I can be what I can, it is because of God having blessed before through my job as a pilot. If they will be got in charged that bonuss which are God's Grace provided in " he said.

 

I am writing this it's been dawn of morning about 2.20 am. I just contemplated what he had said which is becoming his principles.
