Perhaps we'll all leave our beautiful moments here🕊️. That afternoon, we went out to buy the cheapest food. February 27, 2026

Hello everyone.

Hi everyone, how are you today? I hope you are all well. Today, in the blessed month of Ramadan, I want to share my daily activities. Before I continue telling the story, I want to share a very deep story that I feel in my heart. because I want to tell this so that all countries in the world know the situation and conditions. And we are all here soon, maybe in one week, we will move to a new refugee camp, which is getting further away from the village where I used to live, my heart is really sad in this month of Ramadan.

I'm not speaking out of turn, but I want the world to know that the floods in Aceh Tamiang (my district) have left deep sorrow for residents who have lost their homes, struggled to access clean water, and experienced limited food. Their cries reflect the difficult struggle, with children forced to eat instant noodles for days in evacuation centers, and their smiles slowly fading amidst the polluted environment after the floods. It truly feels like a dream, how quickly the bad changes have happened.

The floods may have receded, but our grief remains intense. Our homes are damaged, clean water is scarce, and our environment remains polluted. We desperately hope for a helping hand so we can recover.

I am always grateful even though the circumstances and situations make me sad, Especially in this blessed month of Ramadan, I miss school, I miss home, I miss my old friends, But everything will disappear, In fact, I never meet my old school friends again. But now I am given great wisdom, so that I can be strong in facing this, Even though I just met new friends here, but my friends here are like our brothers too. Thank you my friends, through thick and thin we are always together.

One morning during Ramadan, we heard the news among the highland refugee group in Aceh Tamiang that we would be moving to a refugee camp even further away. However, my friend kept encouraging us, and we held each other together. Day after day, we always sought new variations. This was a very memorable moment for all of us.

This morning, we were just relaxing in a rice field not too far from where we live. We wanted to enjoy the atmosphere here and relieve some stress, as the atmosphere here is better than in the village. We had no other hopes. We just hoped to remain strong in facing life's future. No matter what, we had to remain strong.

It was approaching late afternoon, around 4:00 PM Indonesian time. Some of my friends invited me to go to the Tamiang area. There were locals selling provisions, or what we often call iftar (breaking-the-fast) food. We were still hesitant, as the highlands were a bit far from the Tamiang area, so we would have to walk.

It was still a long way to break the fast, about two hours away. I was willing to accept their offer to go to the Tamiang area. We walked there, along several village roads. It was a bit more heartbreaking to see what used to be luxury housing, now just tents. But we continued along the rocky, dusty roads until we arrived. Our goal was to buy some cheap food for iftar that night, as the food there was a bit cheaper. Besides, I only had about $1. It was sad, but we had to be grateful for what we had.

I was a little hesitant to buy it because my friend and I had very little money😄.

When we got there, we arrived on time, because we had to think before leaving so that we would go and come home on time before night time. When I got there I saw several small tents selling food. Before we buy we want to shop around first. In fact, I was hesitant to buy it, because I only had very little money, and my friends also only had around 1$ each. We were a little hesitant about buying food because we didn't have enough money and bought the cheapest food.

We don't have much time to wander around. We have to go back soon because it's almost time to break the fast. My friends and I returned to the highlands. It was time to go home so we ran around on the road, until we were out of breath, this was to entertain ourselves on the way home.
