Why I Want to Organize Batik Charity Workshops
I’ve always believed that gratitude should move us to action. In my life, I’ve been blessed with so much — a loving family, meaningful work, loyal friends, and an environment that inspires me every day. I often remind myself how fortunate I am to enjoy such a good quality of life.
But not everyone has the same chance. Whenever I think of the orphans — children who never chose their circumstances, who grew up without the warmth and stability of a family — my heart aches. They are innocent souls who deserve love, joy, and hope, just like anyone else.
Why Work with Orphans / Dyslexia Children
These children’s stories remind me of how much strength it takes to keep smiling despite hardship. They didn’t get to choose where they were born or what they had to go through. What they can choose — with a little help — is to discover their creativity, to dream, and to believe in themselves again.
How Batik Can Help
That’s where batik comes in. Batik is more than just art — it’s an experience of patience, colour, and joy. When a child holds a canting and draws their own pattern, something magical happens: their world becomes colourful again. They laugh, they focus, they create — and for that moment, life feels full of beauty and meaning.
Through these workshops, I hope to give them not just a fun day, but a memory of light and colour that stays in their hearts.

The Batik Charity Workshops will be held on the first Saturday of every month, beginning in October 2011.
