Bulan Mei anak-anak mendapatkan kesempatan istimewa untuk mengikuti acara Happy Kids Charity yang diselenggarakan oleh RS Borromeus. Kegiatan ini diadakan di Hompimplay, Dago Atas, dan menjadi pengalaman yang sangat menyenangkan bagi mereka.In May, the children were given a special opportunity to participate in the Happy Kids Charity event organized by Borromeus Hospital. The event was held at Hompimplay, Dago Atas, and became a very enjoyable experience for them.

Selama acara, anak-anak dapat melihat berbagai hewan di mini zoo serta bermain di area playground sepuasnya. Keceriaan dan tawa mereka terlihat sepanjang kegiatan berlangsung.Throughout the event, the children had the chance to see various animals at the mini zoo and play freely in the playground area. Their joy and laughter were evident throughout the day.

Menariknya, sebelum lokasi acara ditentukan oleh pihak Borromeus, anak-anak beberapa kali menyampaikan keinginan mereka untuk bermain di playground. Saat itu kami hanya bisa mengajak mereka berdoa, berharap suatu hari nanti ada kesempatan untuk mewujudkan keinginan sederhana tersebut, terutama saat masa liburan.What made this experience even more meaningful was that, before the venue had been selected by Borromeus Hospital, the children had often expressed their wish to visit a playground. At that time, all we could do was encourage them to pray and hope that one day they would have the opportunity to enjoy such a simple pleasure, especially during their school holiday.

Awalnya, pihak RS Borromeus hanya menyampaikan bahwa mereka akan datang ke yayasan untuk mengadakan kegiatan charity. Namun di luar dugaan, rencana tersebut berubah menjadi ajakan bagi anak-anak untuk bermain dan beraktivitas di luar yayasan. Ketika mendengar kabar tersebut, anak-anak sangat gembira dan tidak sabar menantikan hari pelaksanaannya.

Kami sangat bersyukur atas perhatian dan kasih yang diberikan kepada anak-anak melalui kegiatan ini. Terima kasih kepada RS Borromeus dan semua pihak yang telah menjadi bagian dari momen berharga yang membawa sukacita bagi mereka.We are grateful that God answered those prayers in such a special way. Through the kindness and generosity of others, the children were able to enjoy a memorable day filled with fun, laughter, and precious memories.

Pada bulan Mei ini, kami dari Ruang Bayi ingin membagikan perkembangan anak kami, Elora, yang saat ini berusia 7 bulan dan mengalami mikrosefalus sejak lahir.In May, our Baby Room would like to share an update about Elora, who is now 7 months old and has been living with microcephaly since birth.

Puji Tuhan, di bulan ini Elora sudah mulai belajar makan. Awalnya kami sempat merasa khawatir mengenai makanan yang bisa diberikan, namun kami sangat bersyukur karena sejauh ini kondisi pencernaan Elora baik dan proses makannya berjalan dengan lancar tanpa kendala berarti.Praise God, this month Elora has begun learning to eat solid foods. At first, we were concerned about what foods would be suitable for her, but we are very grateful that her digestion has been doing well and that the feeding process has gone smoothly without any significant difficulties.

Selain itu, Elora juga mulai menunjukkan perkembangan yang menggembirakan. Ia sudah mulai merespons saat diajak berbicara dan perlahan mulai bisa mengangkat kepalanya. Hal-hal kecil seperti ini menjadi pengharapan besar bagi kami untuk terus percaya akan proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangannya.In addition, Elora has started to show encouraging developmental progress. She is now beginning to respond when spoken to and is gradually learning to lift her head on her own. Small milestones like these bring great hope to us and encourage us to continue trusting in her growth and development journey.

We remain thankful for every step of progress Elora makes and continue to pray that she will grow stronger each day. Thank you for your prayers, support, and care for Elora and all the children entrusted to us.

Saat ini kami terus memberikan pendampingan dan terapi semampu kami di Ruang Bayi. Kami juga sedang berupaya agar bulan depan Elora bisa mendapatkan terapi langsung bersama terapis profesional, sehingga perkembangan yang lebih baik dapat terus terjadi.At present, we continue to provide care, stimulation, and therapy for Elora to the best of our ability in the Baby Room. We are also working to ensure that next month Elora can receive therapy directly from a professional therapist, so that her development can continue to progress in a positive direction.

Terima kasih Bapak Ibu yang terus mendukung dan mendoakan Elora. Dukungan yang diberikan sangat berarti bagi proses pertumbuhan dan masa depannya.Thank you to all of you who continue to support and pray for Elora. Your encouragement, generosity, and faithful prayers mean so much to her journey and future. We are deeply grateful for every form of support that enables us to continue providing the care and assistance she needs.
