(260428) -- JAKARTA, April 28, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken with a mobile phone shows volunteers delivering bottled water to communities affected by flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia, Feb. 13, 2026. Shi Kaixin, the regional manager for an international outdoor sports brand in Jakarta, Indonesia, was struck soon after her arrival in 2024 by the sight of homeless communities living under local overpasses and many families repeatedly displaced by flooding during the rainy season. Concerned by their plight, she decided to take action.
In September 2025, she founded the volunteer group "Indonesia Charity Diary," bringing together Chinese and Indonesian friends she had met through work and daily life. In her spare time, she began organizing what she calls "micro-charity" events.
Each month, she shares a schedule of upcoming activities, such as a mountain clean-up, a visit to children at the cancer center, and a badminton session with students from Papuan tribes, etc.
Shi admits that planning these activities required considerable effort at first. But as more volunteers joined, their participation not only motivated her but also brought fresh ideas and resources to the initiatives.
Several Chinese companies operating overseas also joined the initiative by providing garbage collection vehicles and donating food to families affected by floods. (Xinhua)
