Celebrating Eid Al Fitr with ODGJ

Many people are unable to wholeheartedly devote themselves, especially during Eid celebrations with loved ones. However, Eid is not an impediment for Indra (35), to take care of persons with mental disorders (ODGJ). He believes that serving them involves effort, patience, and genuine affection.

At five a.m., clothed in a white striped koko shirt, a black kopiah, and carrying a prayer rug, Indra begins his day, rushing to wake up the ODGJ so that they may join in the Eid prayer.

Though the echoes of the takbir stimulate longing for family, his determination to accompany them stays unwavering, allowing them to experience the joy of victory day, which their families may have forgotten.
