JNY Cup 2025 is more than just a biennial tradition at Jakarta Nanyang School, it’s a celebration of spirit, friendship and community.
This year, a group of JNY students is turning that spirit into compassion by dedicating a fundraiser during the peak of the event (August 30–31), to bring hope to seriously ill children cared for by Rachel House.
At the JNY Bazaar of JNY Cup 2025, booth will dish up love and compassion in their sweet and tantalising desserts and specially concocted drinks. But behind every treat lies something deeper: a message of care, kindness, and solidarity. Every purchase will help provide comfort and support for children living with life-limiting illnesses; because, when we share, hope grows 🌸
✨ Let’s cheer them on with their beautiful initiative, follow their journey, and visit the Bazaar at JNY campus (jnyschool_official). Together, we can turn simple acts into lasting impact.

When the rain falls, some of us may feel grateful for the cool breeze.
But for Deandra* and Popo, rain used to bring fear — leaking roofs, flooded floors, and Deandra, who lives with weak and compromised lungs, would struggle even more to breathe.
Exasperated with their condition at home, Deandra lamented to Zakky, a Rachel House nurse, that “if I had money, I would build Popo a home that never leaks. So she never has to worry again.” A wish he holds for his beloved grandmother, his only-surviving family member.
Then one day, hope knocked on their tiny door. A generous-hearted donor brought miracles into their lives. With Rachel House’s support (read next week’s story), their roof is fixed and Deandra’s wish is fulfilled.
Their home may still be simple, but it no longer brings fear when the rain comes.
Because love now protects them, and helping hands are always nearby.
Now, it’s our turn.
You can also be part of stories like this!
Because every child deserves to live in comfort and safety.
💛 Let’s help children like Deandra

Tak ada hadiah yang lebih indah dari ketulusan.
Di Hari Anak Nasional ini, ada pelukan hangat yang datang dalam bentuk sederhana—goodie bag kecil, biskuit lezat, dan senyum yang tak ternilai.
Terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kami ucapkan kepada Women’s International Club (WIC) Jakarta yang telah hadir dengan penuh cinta dan memberikan kebaikan untuk anak-anak di Rachel House.
Bukan sekadar bingkisan, yang dibagikan hari ini adalah perhatian, kehangatan, dan pengakuan bahwa anak-anak, meski sedang berjuang dalam tubuh mungil mereka, tetap layak untuk dirayakan. Bahwa mereka berhak atas tawa, atas kejutan kecil, dan atas dunia yang melihat mereka bukan dari sakitnya, tapi dari semangat hidup yang terus mereka nyalakan.
Setiap biskuit yang diterima dengan mata berbinar, setiap tas kecil yang dipeluk erat, menjadi bukti bahwa kasih sayang yang tulus mampu menjangkau jauh lebih dalam dari sekadar tangan—ia menyentuh hati.
Terima kasih, WIC Jakarta, telah menjadi bagian dari momen ini dan menjadikan Hari Anak Nasional bukan sekadar tanggal di kalender, melainkan sebuah perayaan penuh makna bagi anak-anak luar biasa yang mengajarkan kita apa itu kekuatan dalam kelembutan.

Anak-anak selalu punya cara untuk mengajari kita. Meski tubuh mereka lemah, hati mereka tetap tangguh. Meski hidup mereka penuh perjuangan, tawa mereka tetap tulus.
Rachel House hadir untuk menjaga tawa-tawa itu. Untuk memastikan bahwa meskipun sakit, mereka tetap bisa hidup seperti anak-anak lainnya yaitu bermain, bermimpi, dan merasa dicintai. Kami hadir sebagai pelukan yang tak pernah lepas, sebagai harapan yang terus tumbuh bersama mereka.
Mereka tumbuh bukan hanya dalam angka usia, tapi juga dalam kebijaksanaan yang tak terbayangkan. Mereka adalah pengingat bahwa hidup betapapun beratnya masih bisa dirayakan. Dalam pelukan keluarga, dalam pelukan perawat, dalam harapan yang kita rangkai bersama.
Di Hari Anak Nasional ini, mari kita beri ruang untuk mendengar mereka. Untuk menghargai mereka. Dan untuk menjadi bagian dari lingkaran kasih yang terus menjaga mereka tetap hangat.
Karena setiap anak berhak tumbuh, tidak hanya dengan tubuh yang sehat, tapi juga dalam pelukan yang penuh cinta dan harapan yang tak lekang.
Mari terus dampingi langkah mereka ✨

Kafi’s dream was to feel sand between his fingers. “It must be really soft.”
When we posted this on our IG post a few weeks ago, we received an overwhelming and passionate response from one of our volunteers.
For Kafi*, who has lost vision on both eyes (one only recently), to finally feel the soft sand not only between his fingers, but on his little feet and between his toes, building castles with his cousin on the beach, smelling the ocean and hearing the waves. A wish came true, wrapped in the loving embrace of the generosity of the heart of Novie, who dedicated her time and energy to bring joy and laughter to Kafi, and lasting memories for him and his cousin.
Thank you, Novie, for being a light in Kafi’s life 🤍
Let us help other children like Kafi fulfill their dreams.
Together, we can be part of their smiles.

Paliatif itu artinya menyerah?
Yuk, kita pahami dulu bedanya dengan perawatan kuratif.
Kuratif: pengobatan untuk menyembuhkan penyakit.
Paliatif: perawatan untuk meringankan gejala dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup.
Dua pendekatan ini sama-sama penting, tergantung pada kondisi pasien dan tujuan perawatan.
Masih banyak yang mengira perawatan paliatif berarti berhenti berjuang. Padahal, justru sebaliknya.
Perawatan paliatif adalah bentuk kasih yang paling murni, hadir dari saat diagnosis penyakit ditegakkan, sampai saat obat sudah tak bisa, tapi cinta tetap bisa dirasakan.
Di Rachel House, kami hadir untuk anak-anak dengan penyakit serius dari keluarga prasejahtera, membawa harapan dan kenyamanan ke rumah mereka. Mari kita pahami, mari kita peduli 🌻
💛 Bagikan postingan ini agar lebih banyak orang tahu tentang cinta di balik paliatif.

Keluarga adalah tempat cinta pertama tumbuh
bukan dari kata, tapi dari pelukan, kehadiran, dan pengorbanan tanpa suara.
Kami melihatnya setiap hari:
Ayah dan ibu yang membelai anaknya dengan lembut di tengah rasa sakit.
Kakek dan nenek yang tak henti berdoa dalam hening.
Rumah yang kecil, tapi penuh harapan yang besar.
Di Rachel House, kami hadir bukan hanya untuk merawat anak-anak yang sakit,
tapi juga untuk merangkul keluarganya,
karena cinta merekalah yang menjadi kekuatan utama dalam perjuangan ini.
Hari ini, kami menghormati mereka.
Keluarga yang kuat.
Cinta yang tak lekang.
Harapan yang terus hidup.
Di Hari Keluarga Nasional ini, mari bantu keluarga yang tengah berjuang.
Satu dukungan darimu, bisa menjadi cahaya bagi satu keluarga yang sedang berhadapan dengan penyakit serius.
Bersama, kita bisa menjadi keluarga kedua bagi mereka.

Send a message to Rachel House - Children's Palliative Care Indonesia:
Founded in 2006, Rachel House (Yayasan Rumah Rachel) has pioneered palliative care in Indonesia for seriously-ill children. We provide home-based palliative care services to seriously-ill children with Cancer and HIV AIDS free of charge.
In addition, we educate and equip medical professionals and local communities with palliative care skills and knowledge to provide care for those in need. We advocate at a national and international level for improved access to palliative care for all Indonesians regardless of income, illness or education.
Right now, there are close to 700,000 seriously-ill children in Indonesia, but less than one percent currently has access to pain relief or palliative care.
Palliative care is a specialised medical care for people with serious illness and their families - providing pain and symptom management and emotional, social and spiritual support - so that patients can live pain-free and with optimal quality of life.
Our highly-trained nurses provide home-based palliative care services to the seriously-ill children with Cancer and HIV AIDS and their families across the greater Jakarta region, free of charge. Our nurses provide pain and symptom management for the children and emotional, social and spiritual support for the entire family.
Community Network in Palliative Care:
Our Community Network in Palliative Care (CNPC) program trains volunteers to provide practical support to serious and chronically ill members of their local community. Working closely with local Puskesmas (primary health clinics), our CNPC program is currently active in 13 communities across North and West Jakarta with more than 260 volunteers active on a weekly basis.
Clinic-In-A-Box:
We equip medical professionals and students from across Indonesia with the key skills and knowledge around palliative care. Taught by some of the world’s leading palliative care experts, our classes cover topics such as pain management, communicating about serious illness and bereavement support.
Public Advocacy - The Living Wall
We believe that no child should ever have to live or die in pain. To help turn this dream in to a reality we campaign to raise public awareness and advocate for a more central role for palliative care in our public health system.
