Please respond to the following questions (in no more than 300 words per question):
Every human being have a same right to live as happy as the can with same equal
chance to make their life better. In fact, so many people that unlucky enough and
need to face many problem before they reach their success. Every part of
community need to work together so the gaps will decrease and it come as social
rensponsibility. The implementation of responsibility for community I called it as
Changemaking.
When the situation really urgent, changemakers will absolutely help the country
with small action so the situation will change and at the time the change is happen.
Governement can’t work alone to solve this country problem, but to be a
changemakers also need to have a strong interest and well planned strategy so it
will effectively organized society change.
When I can inspired other and tell them to break their boundaries is one of
changemaking moment of theirlife. As YES Alumni I feel like have big
responsibility to do community service when I coming back to my home country.
One month after I back to Indonesia, I voluntarily go to border of Indonesia in
Kalimantan and involve in community service based on education. I go to desa
Binter, Kalimantan Utara to see the real situation in there : no internet access,
electric only at night, poor facilities in school, lack of teacher and so many limited
condition that children should face in there.
Before I arrived in the villages I have to enjoy long trip by plane, car, and ships
because of this isolated area it cause a factor this villages hard to reach. In two
weeks I be a teacher for elementary students and woman with two other friends as
Pengajar Jelajah Nusa and one Pengajar Muda by Indonesia Mengajar in holiday
weeks. In there I teach them how to read, how to understand basic English, and
give them motivation to be hardworker if they wan t to reach their dream. I also
build Taman Baca Desa Binter so they have mini library and have place to study
outside home if school closed. In there I give them a motivation that what
condition they have right now isn’t forever, they still the same right to reach their
dream.
The experience that really meaningful for me while I’m in America is when I be
an active volunteer in two religion house : The Islamic Public Center of Ocala and
The Cornerstone Church. Have a chance to be accepted in religion house give me
a bigger perspective about how beautiful community service is when you can
united in the name of social impact.
Every weeks when my host family go to church I join them and do community
service by helping teacher in sunday school, so I watch kids and prepared the
things that need for class. When Sunday schools going I help teacher to organized
the kids. After Sunday school I active be volunteer in big day celebration like
thanksgiving, ester, and christmast. My host family church active present a social
activites like visit the nursery home or orphanage to celebrate together with them.
In the other hand, I have special volunteering experience in Islamic Public Center
of Ocala, because I have understanding about islam I be the teacher for children
between 3-5 years old. I voluntarily teach them about basic Arabic and lead the
games so they enjoying to study. In Ramadan I busy do volunteering activities in
there because they have downtown project. We buy food in groceries and pack
them in mosque, after that we go to downtown and give the food for homeless
people. We always do this on Friday every week. When I have interaction with
homeless people they shared about how grateful they are if many people still care
with other people no matter what their bellefs is.
Have that experience impact me to be open minded and have strong commitment
in the name of humanity. By having 250+ volunteering hours I realized to do
something is not important we paid or not, the more important is how big we can
give an impact to society, it’s really meaningful because I do love volunteering
until now.
