I’m Ot, a student at Vedruna Vilafranca School who has completed 3rd ESO in this 2023-2024 school year. During the first term, I took the Labdoo elective, where I learned the importance of helping others.
Towards the end of the second term, my parents and I decided that we would go on vacation to Indonesia in July, a country in Southeast Asia located in the world’s largest archipelago.
A few days before the trip, I came up with the idea of trying to collaborate with the Labdoo project by carrying laptops and/or tablets to some place in Indonesia. So, I asked Ferran (Labdoo teacher at Vedruna Vilafranca) if there was a demand for "dootronics" (any electronic device) at my destination. He suggested that I could send an email to the Labdoo platform explaining my intention to contribute to the project if it was possible.
That day, as soon as I got home, I wrote the email and sent it, because there were only five days before leaving for Indonesia, and the process needed to be quick. Shortly after, Eulàlia, a Labdoo coordinator, replied to me and started looking for possible places where I could deliver between 3 and 5 dootronics. Two days later, Eulàlia told me about three schools in Indonesia that had requested some computers long ago and had not received them all yet. From these three, I chose the one that was best for us according to our itinerary. This school was called IHF (International Humanity Foundation) Bali, located in the east of the famous island of Bali, near a town called Manggis. From that point, the only thing left was to tie up all the loose ends and carry the dootronics, which were initially supposed to be 4; 2 laptops and 2 tablets.
I wrote these texts after the trip, but I wanted to narrate the events of each day as if it were at the end of the same day (before going to sleep) to give it more emphasis.
