This issues come up into our concern since few weeks ago, when all mothers suddenly frightened with the found of Polio Virus in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. This virus have attacked our lovely children and take away their cheerful toddlerhood into dark and harder future, right after they got limp.
No one knows how this virus back into our days, since we already prepare vaccinations since babies entering 9 months old of age. But the outbreak already happened, millions of kids desperately in need to get new shot of vaccinations right away. This wild virus assumed spreading from Nigeria, since this case already found in that country last year. But this wild virus which unable to be tamed and need to be eradicated as soon as possible, already reach this neighborhood. More than 11 children have found positive carry this virus in their body, which unexpectedly turn their laughter into moaning. It already breaks all mothers heart whoever heard this crying child, watch their kids lies limp and suffering. And this helpless mothers only able to pray. And wait until government and all people who care for the next generations sake, to help them out.
Whether we like it or not, discrepancy indeed happen between big city and small village. In big city, vaccination activity reach the public nearly 95%, but in small and deep village this kind of activity perhaps only reach 50% of the target. Sad, but it’s true. Now, the government and the WHO begin to start their campaign against Polio, and start give an immunization more intensive to all regions both affected or not.
So many obstacles hit and roll us down again, but at least if we hold on together, and start to share anything useful we’ll able to solve any hard riddle in this life. If our system couldn’t work out well, coz it wasn’t start out properly, perhaps we can try to fix it from the smallest part and the tiniest effort we can do.

Hi Dewi, I was just looking at my first comment there and realized that I had misspelled one word...it should have read inadequate! I'm just awful with typos when leaving a comment.
As for the question on the nespola fruit. There are about 2 to 3 large, brown, shiny seeds within the fruit. They're hard but I can easily chop them up with a food processor. And yes it tastes kind of sour but still sweet. I'll have to google marquissa now!
It is a sad reality that the most vulnerable out of this and other man-made disaster are children.
Just like in Liberia, West Africa.. Kids are the the one first affected.
Let this be a lesson to learn, though it has been the hardest way.
Dewi, update lagi dong?
pingin belajar lagi nih..hi..hi.
