Jakarta Kids!
Dreams, dignity and a muddy Jakarta slums.
"...About 60 kids filed in. Happy. Laughing. Beaming. Despite the rain, 60 suns arrived.
I was struck by the order and the cohesion of it all. The school lined up. Then the portable speakers pumped out the national anthem. Sixty little voices chorused in unison - at the tops of their voices. Then the Indonesian flag was solemnly escorted and ceremonially raised.
Proud of their school. Proud of their nation. I was proud of them. In time, they will be proud of themselves..."
Indonesia Dangerously Amazing
