last week I watched a program about a sincere and very devoted midwife named ros rosita. she lives in kabupaten lebak, banten. she helps people in baduy community (who isolate themselves from modern life) to deliver the babies. her father also helps this community as a medical aide.
to reach the outer baduy kampong (village) midwife ros, her father and a helper have to walk for hours because cars and motorcycles are not allowed to enter the baduy community. at the first years of course they were not welcomed by the baduy community. they have their own traditional midwife. but in the end, the outer baduy community can accept their sincere help and even the man is willingly learn how to measure weight, write, and read.
I am so touched that there are people like midwife ros and her father. they are not rich in term of money, but they are rich in heart, sincere, and devotion. they do not think about money (she only gets ten to twenty thousand rupiahs per delivery), but they think about other people.
