Scout members Firdaus (front) and Alvin help carry bags belonging to travelers going to the ferry headed to Bakauheni Port, Lampung, from Merak Port, Banten, on Tuesday (12/6/2018). For three days they have helped smooth the flow of mudik (exodus) travelers through the port ahead of Lebaran.

Approximately 19.5 million people are expected to join this year’s mudik (annual exodus), among them people with disabilities. However, disabled people often faced unfair treatment.

It was after dawn on Saturday (9/6/2018) when Rubini, 36, and Watini, 32, prepared to leave the Sasana Bina Daksa Budi Bakti disability care home in Pondok Bambu, Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta. Rubini, who was left paralyzed in both legs in 2007 from a traffic accident in Kebumen, Central Java, took the initiative.
