This is what i've got from @QueenRania twitter account (queen of Jordania) a link to viral video from @UNICEF about severe famine and worst drought that have been happening in Africa, especially Kenya and Somalia. I know here in Indonesia we still have millions of people in hunger too. But just spent couple of minutes to watch this video. I shed a tears in a second, I should repeat 'Alhamdulillah' trillions times if I compare them to my life now. Compare to our condition now, able to live without hunger, desperation, fatigue, and frustration.
This is why shaum is mandatory for us, Moslems, to feel hunger, to have a deep understanding about others who've been living in hunger. Can you imagine, you are so hungry while there are weapons watching you from all over the corners because of an endless civil war, streets cover with dust, and to live without water? For me that is beyond my definition of suffering. We just have to experience hunger, not civil war or worst drought like they have been going through all these years.
What to do? what to do?
As far as i know, an Indonesian NGO has started to help them. If you have twitter account follow @actforhumanity who has consistently works for humanity in Indonesia and abroad, watch their hashtag #food4somalia for recent updates. Also follow @UNICEF or contact their booth in Plaza Senayan (if im not mistaken) for those who live in Jakarta.
After watching this video, would you dare to say "I am hungry" from now on?
Think less, feel more.
