Assalamualaikum :)

Hayy,

I really glad when i could spend my time back to writing this blog, it means that i flee from my taskssss haha..

and now i want to tell about my last trip with Mentor Family in college to Harapan Island 17-18 May 2014. before i continue..

Why do i called them Mentor?

I want explain a bit about what is mentor? for long explanation short, in my college there is community called BSLC (Binus Student Learning Community) but, waitt... we're not just learning but we make something different to make learning more fun as our tagline " learning is Fun".

       

Mentor is the one like teacher, they sharing their knowledge, experience, story to mantee (the one who was teached by mentor) and exactly help mantee in their academic stuffs. We are not only from kemanggisan campus but also from Alam Sutera Campus. Based on the mentor activity that i told before, did we deserve to be called as good guys? :P 

I do really happy can be a part of them! yes..BSLC

backk.. As people said : what we sow, that is what we reap. Alhamdulillah. May their utterance went to us. To appreciated our work during this semester, BSLC gave us THIS TRIP. 

ilustration map for our trip during on the ship. 3 hours!!

We gathered on campus and went to the Muara angke port in the morning, and took ships went to harapan island. It's about 3 hour long. Its quite long to arrived there, because Harapan Island is too far from the port, perhaps because too long on the sea,and causes a lot of pain, esp nausea. 

we're on the deck

Tadaaaa..... finally we arrived in Harapan Island!

Harapan Island port

Day1
We arrived in Harapan Island at 12.00, we took a lunch and took a rest for a minute and continued to... snorkling time! we did snorkling for almost 5 hours, during 12.30-18.00. We did it in 2 spot water.

first spot is quite deep, but we had been offered by the beautifully coral reef, fish,etc - view under the sea .

we were standing on the coral reef

For the second spot is shallow water. This spot as beautiful as the first spot. We no need to use life vest in the water. We almost spent our snorkling-time here (in the mid-noon) and took many photo. 

feel free to pose in the middle :)) spirit team!

i was greeted by this cutie fishes. That glasses exactly ruin my face hahah :))

My face burnt :") sad but happy!! After snorkling-time we came back to the lodge, and in the night we did sharing experience during be a mentor. 

... become a mentor, there are many lessons that I can took. 

    experience as a teacher, teach others. 

    learn to be more patience.

    improving  communication to other.

    how to be assertive people.

    learn to always try and practice.

    experience of leading others.

    One of the lessons that I took from my Mantee was: there is no age limit for learning.

    and...

    The most important is the experience and opportunity for helping others.

Day 2
After breakfast, we went to another island (i forget the name) which has sands in its edge. its about 30 minutes far from Harapan Island. The committee have made games already there. for me the "Tarik Tambang" is the funiest one!

Make Your Dreams Come True with a Dream Tree

Good Evening!

Today I really miss my pra-univ friend,

So... i opened the photo during pra-university, and from many photo that i open back i founded out one of them .. and this photo told me back to remember about our essay that we made, and have to explained with something that we can explore from our essay. so we decided to made the 'our miniatur idea'. 

Add caption

     If u don't know about 'pra-univ' which i told from the first. So, im going to explain about 'pra-univ' first before i am continuing my post. 

    Pra-univ is the class that my university make in order to improve our english skill especially our toefl, but its was started before our 'real' class. it was mandatory and was going on our holiday (but not really seized all holiday) :" .One class consist of many major from many department also. at least before we started 'real' class in university we have make friends with other friends already.

Now i want to share about me and my classmate in pre-university essay, begin with its title...

Make Your Dreams Come True with a Dream Tree

         On our project, we picked up the theme of the future. We divide our future into two sides which will go to a destination point. The first of us to explain about the future of our environment, and on the second side we explain about the future in our ideals. As we said before, the two sides will lead to a destination points, the goal is to reach our goals and our success with the support of the environment, natural environment that is balanced and sustainable. In this life, we must have a certain purpose in life. So that we know where will go. If someone doesn’t have a purpose in life, it is certain that his life is undirected.

        In the 21st centuries, our life will be more complicated than before with the human population, now at 6 billion people worldwide meeting the basic needs of all these people food ,energy, clothing, and etc, because  the human needs was increasing , so to fulfill that, many people don’t care about the life, they can do as they like to fulfill it, and also increasing human demands on the earth's natural resources. With the diversity of human needs, such as food, energy, clothing, houses, that are was inseparable from the name of the tree. Our food comes from trees, fabrics for our clothing as well as from cotton fiber plants, waste of energy transport, is also associated with

tree, namely pollution (CO2) vehicles will be absorbed by plants.

                 For your information, the ice in Iceland was melted slowly but sure, and that could cause the water level will rise than before and the effect would be enormous for human life. We must do something to save our life and our future, we can’t just sit and don’t care about that, because it must come in a few years if we don’t anticipate it. To anticipate we should plant lots of trees. Because global warming is caused by the effects of the sun's heat that can’t be reflected out of the earth, due to the number of binding of CO2 heat too much, so it gets hot inside the earth and the impact on polar ice melt. Thus the presence of trees, CO2 can be reduced so that the heat of the sun on the earth can be reflected back out of the earth, and the Earth will survive global warming, the sinking of the earth by the melting of polar ice.

          On our project, we begin the life of the plant environment by creating a forest that was burned, had been felled by man, for industrial facilities, forests are removed to a new land that will be used as factories, mines, etc. We illustrate this because it's been a lot of the forest who had such a bad thing. Therefore, before all the forest species we should be concerned with such matters. This matter can be done is to restore degraded forests by planting trees. If one person one tree, then there will be thousands of millions of trees planted since the human population on earth more than thousands of millions and even billions.

          At the second stage, we illustrate with small trees. Our point is that it is the beginning of human life should be planted that will restore damaged forests. Although it certainly will take a long time, we believe that slowly but surely. Due to a small tree, has been produced o2 and can absorb co2, although the strength is not as strong as the big tree.

          At the third stage, we illustrate with a tree that has grown by age that is a continuation of the early life stages of the second tree. We illustrate the significance of this is that although long-time need to be a big tree, but this stage and certainly very useful and influential for the preservation of the human environment. Although the results can’t be taken for human purposes, but was able to properly absorb pollution. If pollution can be absorbed, then the earth will be spared from the threat of global warming.

In the final stage on the side of a green environment, we put a very large tree with a ratio far enough, it is intended that from the beginning a small tree that has become a mature tree that can save the earth. The trees at the age such as this can be used to meet human needs and tackling global warming. Imagine if the billions of people that one person to plant a tree, then there will be billions of such large trees as well. Which of these trees were treated and discharged circuitry if a good rule, then the sustainability of our earth will continue without end with the earth submerged by the melting of polar ice due to global warming due to the absence of CO2 absorption by many tree’s.

         On the other hand in our project, we start with a sheet of white paper. White paper has make symbolize a life that has not been planned with the ideals.

         The next stage, we make a ladder and put the paper with the ideals of the great tree. The point is we want to realize the ideals of our ideals. Our ideal doesn’t just happen without any effort of our own. Ladder to symbolize a business, getting to the top of the more severe and over must pass through many ways. With a good effort and without despair, slowly but surely these ideals will be achieved and come true. In the future we will become what we want to be and followed with the natural environment sustainably. Because what does it mean if we get what we want but with a damaged environment.

       i written these ideals because….

-I believe that the writing is one way to make dreams come true to get out of that was just a dream to be in the real world, although we just writing it on a paper. 

-I believe that writing begins with our ideals, sooner or later will become a reality.

Thankyou

Festival Gerakan Indonesia Mengajar (5-6 Oktober)

Good Night!

     Hey, Now I want to posting about the event i like the most in this year, which is happened on October 6th. Named, Festival Gerakan Indonesia Mengajar (FGIM). FGIM was held in Ecovention Hall, Ancol. and this is non-government event that made by Yayasan Indonesia Mengajar.

      For you who don't know FGIM or Indonesia Mengajar yet, i'll explain for you. FGIM is the event that purposely made to invite people for directly help to worked to prepare items which to be donated to the rural areas in Indonesia.

        I really appreciated for the committee who created and designed the event could be that AWESOME!! *applause!!*

       By FGIM's slogan "Kerja Bakti" or it means 'community service'. when we went to FGIM its not like usual event where we GOT something (like music show in concert), but in FGIM its about we GIVE something for people, not about give money but we give our energy and time to directly contribute in FGIM. Despite we have to pay for the tickets (Rp45000) ,FGIM was attended by thousands of people who wanted to joined 'kerja bakti' as well. The result of voluntary work will be donated from Aceh province to Merauke in Papua. it means that there are still a lot of people who cares with education in Indonesia. 

       For the Indonesia Mengajar itself, its the movement teaches by graduates. They teach children, elementary school in rural area all over Indonesia. Yayasan Indonesia Mengajar was founded by Mr. Anies Baswedan. He really cares about education. I think,  with 'the breakthrough' of this movement, extremely helpful education in Indonesia, especially for the place out of big city.

pose with Mr. Anies Baswedan

      Back to the story. i know FGIM event from the social media esp twitter, and i had trying to find out about that. i checked FGIM date and my college schedule ,there is no overlapping between both of them, so i decided to join, but the problem is the place. Its quite far from my house, FGIM located in Ancol which is in north jakarta, and my house in the south jakarta. So i invited my best fellow neighbors to join the FGIM, and they were making matched their timetable and agree to join. so we decided to join on 6th.

On sunday morning 6th Oct, we leave at 9 am and reached there at 11 am by Transjakarta bus. its my first time went to ancol by transjkt, luckily my two bestfriends want to accompanied me. They are Mia and mba Uti . This is them!

Mia in green, mba Uti in yellow , and im the red one!

In the main door we were greeted by a cutie dinosaur :p

There are 10 'working avenue', but i just joined 7 working avenue:

1. "Surat Semangat" its the motivation letter. we write motivation letter to the student and also for the teacher. and so bad so sad i haven't get the reply back, and i'm still waiting for the reply from Fak-Fak,Papua and Majene in west Sulawesi.

writing letter

put into letter box
and...waiting for the replied :"

i made 2 letters, and this is one of them, direction to Fak-Fak, Papua

2. "kepingpedia" . " science puzzle" .it like we made a puzzle, and when the pieces of the puzzle got together, it was going to be 'something knowledge' that will added their knowledge. we got the puzzle knowledge about solar system.

carton cutting process into pieces

3. "kemas-kemas sains" in this pos we make science props (digestive organs of the body, called "Badan si Badun") to be sent to the elementary school in rural area, around indonesia. i forget to take the pict of Badan and Badun, but after we packed that props, we taken pict together. i met new friends in this pos, she is vivi and mba Maya. But i forgot to ask their contact. hope we can meet again someday :)

vivi in the leftmost, Mba Maya rightmost

4. " kotak cakrawala" we was collecting books on pack for. the package of book was consist of story books, atlases, textbooks, etc. Those books will sent to the remote areas, due to difficulty access to get a book, so FGIM committee will send them to that remote areas around Indonesia.

"kotak cakrawala" area

5. " Sains berdendang" when we sang a song about science but the tone was a kids song. as all of you know, song was easier to remember than we have to remember the studies, by incorporating music into the song, students are expected to be easier to remember the lessons.

6. " Melodi Ceria" Nowadays kids song is rarely heard, in the presence of 'melodi ceria' was expected that children can return to sing songs that suit toward their age.

7. "Aula Sekolah" , means "school hall". there we can get acquainted with new friends, we danced together (more correctly exercise :p) . I accidentally alsom met with other campus friends Ka Wita, Ka Nata, Ka Aris, and Ka Agatha.

Ka Nata, Ka Wita, it was captured by Ka Aris

Ka Agatha

- working avenue that i was couldn't follow are:

8. "kartupedia". it like we made the wikipedia information and transform it to be a card. so the elementary student in rural area will get information. 

9. "video profesi" we have to tell about our job, so the student who will watch the video know diverse jobs

10. "teater dongeng" here we have to plays the folklore.


Sooo....what do you think guys? is FGIM quiet different that i told in the first? but it was really amazing!! It feels like we could directly help children that live so faaaar awaay from us, if there is the second FGIM, let's join!!
much better if you read the story of the committe behind the success of this event.

Hopefully  the 2nd FGIM still be held next year, i'm waiting! :)

I am ready to the voluntary work for nation!

Thankyou!
