HAM Dear Friends of HOPE worldwide Indonesia, Greetings! 2010 has passed by, and we are entering a new decade. Time passes by and each individual we served together had a chance to live a better and rewarding life. I recall a young man who is not born with perfect body limbs. His family was not wealthy enough to neither support his High School education nor provide him enough nutritious meals. The young man came to our computer training center a few years ago only to be told that his application was rejected due to his limited knowledge and capacity. The news damaged hope, but not for him. He came to apply for the second time only to fail again. The third time he came around; there is no way that he could be rejected again. Admission team decided to give the enthusiastic young man a chance. He grabbed it, and finished the vocational training. After graduation, he volunteers to help new students as he diligently search for a job. He found one, a chance to start his life again. He worked hard, and got promoted. A few months ago, he came to our center in a nice car, bringing some donation for support the computer training center. He has not only changed his life, but providing hope for others to change theirs.
