Dear Sara,
Thank you for your letter, going to Kepulauanseribu for holiday sounds fun.Actually we
wanted to go to Bidadari island but something happened . On the night we were about
something to leave, our neighbour,mrsrahmad called for help. she is an wheelchair now.Her
husband died a year ago.
When my mother and i went to her house, we were shocked. The house was very
messy.her maid just returned to her village and mrsrahmad's 10 year old twin daughters were sick
to clean the house. They also had high fever, so ,my mother cooked and cleaned the house. i
helped to give the girls their medicine. i wiped their bodies with wet towels. My father helped
vacuum the house. The whole week was spent helping Mrsrahmad and her family.
That was how i spent the school holidays. My parents said that when someone needs our
helps.We have to help them first. We can always go for a holiday some other time it was a good
experience. I'll see you soon.
