Me and Herni were cofused about what we will do in October 24, as whole of committee in Bali Collaboration on Climate Change (BCCC) were busied on working in workshop on climate change. Beside that reason, on October 24 is  one of a big celebration Hinduism Day, called Kuningan, and most of our youths member busy in celebrating that day. Before October 24, we remember about The Orphanage house near my home. So we thought why are we not going there?! In the Orpahanage house, many children living away from information media dan living only with their own community. With only bought 2 meter cloth for painting and some water paints  and also snacks, we implemented knowledge from 350 Workshop in Bangkok.
Our session begun with “fun learning” about climate change and global warming, there were 20 children and many children didn’t understand about this issue.  We were glad that our effort in this orphanage have meaningful to them in way of understanding on climate change. Even they have been living far from love from their family and keep on fighting in their loneliness, we are so proud of their effort on their way to keep the environment. Some example of what they have been doing for environment are they have been making hadycrafts from waste material and sell those thing to earn money,  feel happier if walking to reach their school and gardening once a week.
We also gave them understanding about World Silent Day and 350 ppm. From those information, we ask the children to painting whatever they feel about climate change.
Their cheerful and creativity colouring “art painting” session. After did painting, we took picture and video of themselves and their pantings, Me and Herni sent  those documentation to 350.org so that can be seen on New York and Hongkong Big Screen,  once again, World Silent Day  will speak up around the world only by picture and video. And the most important, We hope the spirit and care from orphanage children spread out and touch every human in the world and remind them that children is the first thing who fell climate change impact in future.
