One Amazing Thing I've Done
I did my civil service as a volunteer teacher in a remote area in Indonesia. It was in the middle of the forest, I served the children there who never go out of their forest. I was there for 1 year. It was an amazing experience without the phone, the internet, and electricity. Somehow, I survive. Once I was involved in a forum in Egypt together with Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Butros-Butros Ghali, the Queens and the Kings from many countries. I survived from getting lost in the forest on a mountain in Indonesia during the night. One of the scariest moment in my life. I was thinking that I will never be saved. Every path that I took just lead me to a deeper darker forest. I was saved by 3 other hikers who heard I was crying help. I went to Zapatista Rebellion group in San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico without speaking any Spanish. Somehow they welcomed me very well.
