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.

      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!

Buka Bersama PKBM Nurani Insani - part 3

Malam!

  Di post sebelumnya saya bilang akan ada part selanjutnya buka bersama di Nurani Insani. nah! sekarang saya mau cerita tentang buka bersama di Nurani Insani, walopun ini cerita bulan Ramadhan kemarin. Buka bersama part 3 kemarin ini bersama Bank Mandiri Sekuritas. Dihadiri langsung oleh bapak Direkturnya. Untuk pos kali ini tidak ada fotonya karena handphone saya mati belum saya charge.      

  Seperti buka puasa sebelumnya, saya datang ke sekolah NI sore sekitar jam 4,kali ini saya bukan dari kampus, tapi dari rumah. Ternyata disana udah rame sama murid-murid SMA. Disana ada Mami dan Ibu-ibu lainnya sedang mempersiapkan minuman untuk buka puasa, saya memutuskan untuk bantu-bantu bawa gelas ke ruangan. kira-kira sudah jam 5 kita semua kumpul di ruangan kelas. Disana Babe dan tamu dari Mandiri memberi sambutan dan kita ngobrol-ngobrol singkat. Setelah itu Agus, Ami, Iam dan teman-teman akustikan bawain lagu ciptaan ka Gilang. Setelah itu kita doa bersama, gak lama setelah berdoa, Azan berkumandang. Kita semua berbuka puasa. 

   Setelah makan dan minum dan lain-lainnya saya sholat Maghrib, berhubung ada kak Cheeka jadi saya ga di ruang orang-orang solat,saya berdua kak Cheeka sholat di ruangan lain utk menghindari ruangan sholat yg rame. saya disana kira2 sampai jam 8, dan ketika pulang dengan berbaik hati kak Cheeka mengantar saya sampai dekat stasiun Palmerah. 

oiyaa setau saya sebelumnya, Mandiri Sekuritas memang memiliki cabang CSR(Company Social Responsibility) diantaranya dalam social community salah satunya seperti memberi bantuan utk rumah zakat dan membantu korban kebakaran di daerah karet. selain itu ada cabang CSR dalam Education atau pendidikan , dan saya baru tau kalau Yayasan Nurani Insani adalah masuk salah satu CSR pendiidkan Mandiri Sekuritas di acara buka bersama kemarin, bank Mandiri Sekuritas memberi bantuan berupa pembayaran Listrik NI dalam jangka waktu yg saya lupa berapa lama hehehe..

yeaa itu buka bersama terakhir saya di NI Ramadhan tahun 2013 ini, smoga masih diberi umur oleh Allah S.W.T untuk bertemu Ramadhan tahun depan, Aamiin :) 

terimakasih

Buka Bersama PKBM Nurani Insani - part 2

Assalamualaikum
Siang!

Kalau kemarin saya sudah nge-post bukber part 1, sekarang bukber part 2 nya, dan akan ada part-part berikutnya :)

Karena sudah 3 minggu ini saya mengurus pendaftaran UKM utk mahasiswa baru di kampus,  kali ini saya ke Nurani Insani setelah selesai urusan dari kampus, bukan dari rumah. Setelah rampung semua urusan di kampus, saya langsung ke NI.  Berhubung sedang hujan, jadi saya menunggu dulu di kampus sampe sekitar jam 4. Hujan reda. Saya langsung saja menuju NI. Nurani Insani bubar jam 4 jadi waktu saya kesana hanya tinggal beberapa murid saja. Memang tujuan saya hari itu bukan mau mengajar, melainkan untuk kasih materi sosiologi utk teman volunteer baru saya, namanya Dinda. Yang tadinya hanya janjian + mau kasih materi ke Dinda, langsung pulang, eh saya malah diajakin buka bersama di Nurani Insani oleh Babe.  Berhubung ada Dinda juga, saya ikut buka disana deh. Babe bilang, tamu buka bersama kali ini adalah dari ASPPI( Asosiasi Professional Pariwisata Indonesia) DKI Jakarta.

Babe saat membuka acara

Sekitar pukul  20.00, setelah semua murid pulang, saya, Dinda, Kak Muti (kakaknya Dinda) juga pamit ke Mami dan babe untuk pulang, dan berakhirlah bukber di Nurani Insani part 2 :)

Buka Bersama PKBM Nurani Insani - part 1

Assalamualaikum

Pagi!

Ditemani hujan yang belum reda dari semalam, saya mau menulis tentang bukber semalam.

Minggu lalu saya di ajak Babe (Pendiri Nurani Insani) untuk ikut gabung acara bukber kemarin di Nurani Insani. Ini kali pertama saya bukber di sana. Awalnya saya kira bukber ini acara bukber SMP dan SMA, ternyata acara bukber SD dan TKnya. Saya hanya mengajar SD sesekali saja, jadi saya hanya sedikit kenal beberapa orang saja :( , karena biasanya saya ngajar SMP dan SMA. 

Paginya saya ke kampus dulu untuk jaga expo BSLC dari jam 9 sampe jam 3 sore, setelah selesai evaluasi kira-kira jam 4 saya ashar dulu, lalu langsung ke Nurani Insani dan sampai sana jam setengah 5. Disana saya langsung ketemu Mami (istrinya Babe) dan bantu-bantu siapin es belewah untuk tamu. Karena ini acara SD, untuk menunggu Azan Maghrib guru2 SD mendongeng untuk mereka dan ditutup dengan do'a bersama.

Sekitar 20 menit setelah buka, dateng Kak Cika (Anaknya Babe dan Mami), seneng banget akhirnya ada juga yang diajak ngobrol bareng. Sebenarnya ada beberapa anak SMA yang dateng tapi cowo-cowo nya aja dan cuma 3 orang hanya ada Madlori, Dian, sama Ilham. Akhirnya karna Ka Cika dateng saya lanjut makan ta'jil sama dia, terus lanjut solat maghrib di kelas lain ( karna tempat solat di bawah udah penuh sama tamu), terus lanjut ngobrol2 dan makan sama Ka Cika dan Mami di ruangan atas. Sempet heran awalnya Ka Cika yang kurus dan kelihatan feminin gitu ternyata hanya covernya saja hahaha

Acara bukber selesai sekitar jam setengah 8, dan Saya balik sekitar pukul 8.20. Setelah pamit dengan semua orang di sana saya pulang. Saya diantar Ka Cika sampe stasiun palmerah naik kawasaki nya. dan saya sampe rumah jam 09.00.

sebenarnya saya lebih suka nambahin foto setiap kali saya nge post, berhubung foto-foto bukber kemarin ada di kamera Mami semua da belum dipindah, jadi next time akan saya update post-an ini :)

Saya kurang setuju dengan pernyataan 'tak kenal maka tak sayang' karena yang sudah kenalan saja belum tentu sayang.
Jadi mungkin yang lebih tepat adalah 'belum tahu maka belum sayang', karena dengan sudah tahu seseorang maka tidak akan ada pikiran yang tidak seharusnya diprasangkakan jika sudah mengetahui orang tersebut.

thankyou!

First time touched Master (MASjid TERminal) :)

Good morning!

This time, i would like to tell my pleased yesterday' trip to Masjid terminal (MasTer) in depok. Actually i have no plan to went there, and my prev schedule was just wanted to go to campus briefly to took a test, and went back home immediately because i felt a bit unwell at that day. 

Plans changed when i was waiting for train, i chatted my bestfriend since i was in seniorhigh, Febi (now he is the Zuppa anthropologist ^^) via bbm. While Chatting, Febi invited me to his campus in Depok (initially he didn't asked me seriously, and i havn't thought too seriously). He said that he had no activity yesterday, and his activities that have been scheduled before was canceled because there is something which i dont know. 

Then i considered and make it seriously. why? 

First, it was still at 11:00 am, so i could leave back early. 

Second, i haven't yet to try train trip except palmerah-pd.ranji (campus-house), so i could make a try to another station at this chance.

Third, i make a deal with Febi if he wanted to accompany me to MasTer which i only knew through social media, television, and internet before. So at this chance i could seen directly.

I got Depok station around 13:00, and Febi been waiting for me in front of the station. Then we went straight to MasTer. It turns out MasTer pretty far from Febi's campus, so we have to proceed with public transportation. We touched MasTer around at 13:30. Febi already know some of the people there, because he had several times to MasTer. 

Oiyaa sorry i forgot to tell about MasTer itself. For you who haven't known yet about MasTer, i'll tell you briefly.  MasTer actually just the popular abbreviation called from people around to make a short MASjid TERminal which is the first location that Mr.Nurrohim who was established MasTer in 2000, teach street children in front of Masjid Al-muttaqin in bus station. Nowadays, the formal name of MasTer is PKBM Bina Insan Mandiri. The function of MasTer itself is not too different with PKBM Nurani Insani in Petamburan that i was told before in my previous post, but the differences in MasTer provided the dorm for them who dont have neither parents nor house.

After touched Master, i was acquainted with 2 Febi's friend, they are the alumnus from MasTer. Now they continue their education in UNJ and UNDIP majoring at History. We talked for a while, after that i decided to pray Zuhur. After Zuhur Me and Febi looked around the building there. There are common kitchen, taman baca siswa (kind of library), girl's hostels. After looked around i asked to Maulana (one of the student) to took a picture of us.  

this picture was taken in front of the one of the non permanent building there

I also made a conversation with the teacher while Febi taking picture with his camera in around MasTer. There i became acquainted with Bunda Sri, mba Lianti, Mba Ade, Mba isma. We talked about the current situation og MasTer and also about the learning process in MasTer. When I was chatting, there came hordes of reporters. The reporter was covering the arrival of Mr.Nurohim and the Mayor of Depok. Maybe they want to make a deal about the planning of MasTer eviction which will be held after Eid. 

and... Alhamdulillah I just heard the news from TV that the eviction was not going to be done. I hope this news is not just a rumor, and it will be a reality. SO MASTER WILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE. Aamiin

after from the MasTer, I was ushered Febi to the station, and I returned home. Thx Feb for accompanied me to MasTer :)

Do not wait for happiness to come from someone else, make happiness that comes from ourselves

Happiness will never be ours if merely see the happiness of others, and always compare our lives with others. 

Always Thankful to God for each of our lives no matter what.

Thankyou!

Be Grateful for what we already have!

 Assalamu'alaykum
Morning!

         Actually I wanted to write my experience on my blog since last month, eventually i've got now. I wanna share my first "Ngamen" experience. Ngamen means sing on public place, hoping for one gives money. I got this experience from two of my students in Nurani Insani(NI). They're Agus and Aldi..Previously, i just listened about their daily activity, and when i was in NI when they're leving to go ngamen, Mr.Dedi (Chairman of the foundation) ask me what if i wanted to know their activity (join them) or not. I thought that would be fun if i occasionally to followed them for ngamen, beside that i also wanted to know directly their ngamen life on the road. So i said 'yes' for Mr. Dedi asking.

        

        For you who don't know yet about Nurani Insani (NI) , I'll tell you briefly. Nurani Insani is the foundation which was established since about 2003. Nurani Insani is the PKBM( Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Mengajar) for underprivileged children who attended school while working. NI  was located in Petamburan III, TanahAbang, Jakarta Pusat.  Aldi and Agus is two of the student from NI. NI was established by Mr. Dedi Rosadi S.E and his wife. I'm volunteering there about 6 months.

        For long story short, i would tell you about "my really ngamen trip". may you guys think that i'm a bit a tacky, but this experience really make me more grateful to Allah S.W.T for what i already have.

         May, 25th 2013 NI been visited by guest (occasionally they shared their life experiences), the guests is mbak Yayu and her two friends. They are from tax office. Mr. Dedi asked me to come as host to greeted the guest, So thats why i've been there. They came to NI was about at 08.00. We chatted while eating snacks that brought by Mba Yayu. I'm really glad when mba Yayu offered for her cousin to be volunteer in Nurani Insani (but till this time i haven't notified yet). Then mba Yayu and friends, and we dispersed about at 12.00. Due to Nurani Insani is located near Tanah abang, Two of my student Aldi and Agus decided to went back their home earlier. The reason is because they want to go 'ngamen'. This is the peak time when people went their lunch, and they hope could got money from people  who had lunch. So, as i told before , Mr. Dedi asked me to joined (followed their activities) them or not. 

           I, Aldi, Agus, Ilham, Ami, and puput went together, but in the middle, we are separating to different direction. Ami, Ilham, and Puput went to their own home. Me, Agus and aldi went to Agus home to took the Guitar. We through the road that I've never ever through before, we down along train rail edge which there is river below! and my student through this extreme (for me) road everyday to touched school.*applause


he is Ilham who was in front of me

 left to right (Ami, Agus, Ilham and Aldi)

Can you imagine when you walk on the edge of train bridge with no grip you can hold and river below?!
That such quivering! This is the first thing which made me more grateful to God during the trip.

              After took guitar, we 'ngamen' in Tanah Abang. Poor me, when i followed them, TanahAbang is a bit flooding :( so i have to face the tarnish and disgusting road =)). During ngamen people was staring at me, probably because i wore clothes which are too neat for did it. yaaa.. thats not the problem for me, may they just wondered to me :p. We ngamen in TanahAbang is about 3 hours.

After ngamen Agus invited me to his house. I bemused when i know his house. I was amazed to agus, because he could always be grateful to the limitations he has.  and this is second thing that makes me even more grateful to God.With their limitation, they always eager to catch their own dream in order to improve their family economic.  I feel nothing, compared to their those who have more spirit to face of the limitations.

After ngamen,

There's nobody perfect. Each person does have limitations. I think we don't need to cover up, but just need to minimize it and develop the redundance that we have, til we reach the peak of each of us.


Thanks!
