Hi steemit.

I'm currently creating an article from the challenge of @steemitsducation about homework on Fundraising Day 193.

I want to share a story with you all about one case that could viral in Indonesia end of 2012.

Almost everyone in Indonesia at that time followed the news about a mother named Prita Mulyasari 32 years.

The case began when Prita Mulyasari spilled her disappointment on the internet about bad service and malpractice of a major hospital in Jakarta. It turns out that the e-mails that were sent to it became viral and angered all netizen.The hospital knew about the news and demanded Prita with a defamation article. Prita lost the civil case and was ordered by the court to pay Rp. 261 million.

Not received because Prita was detained in the Tangerang Women's prison. Net citizens express their anger by making SUPPORT FOR PRITA, and support up to 250,000 members.
People feel pity with Prita then they collect coins for Prita. The number of coins collected from the public reaches a fantastic figure of Rp. 800 million more, they named the donation with the name ** COINS FOR JUSTICE **

It turned out that support not only came from the community but also from the President Megawati who served at the time. On the orders of President Prita then be released and his good name was cleared and found not guilty. The donated money is then donated to a requisite charity.

Apparently the sense of community empathy towards each other is still very large, they can not stand to see innocent people in action, we can take the wisdom of this story.
