Water Purification in Wowasolo village
Konawe, EGSLP There is no disease that comes suddenly but surely through a process that is mostly determined by individual life style itself, says Mashuri Posimbi, SKM, M.Kes, a speaker for Water Purification on September 24, 2011 in front of 30 participants in training that was held in Wawosolo village, Wonggodeku. Posimbi said that before thinking global problem like global warming, people should fix their life style especially in environmental matters. Good attitude in environmental matters would affect global environment, then they can fix environmental problems around them (including clean water problem). There are 4 important things to be noted in reaching environmental health standardization; good private toilet, clean water sources, trash bin, and good household waste management. Good water is not just clean, but also fulfill health requirements; physical, chemical and bacteriological requirements, says Posimbi. Then he told them about characteristics of good clean water and how to eliminate odors from water. What is interesting in this training is to do a pre test and post test, the results of the 30 participants experienced an increase in the value of a test before and after administration of the material, so it can be concluded trainees listened carefully the assigned material. Build Latrine to the End Latoma Latoma, EGSLP Nesowi village is a village that located at the tip of Latoma District, South East Sulawesi. It is not easy to make a journey to that village, especially with terrible and steep road conditions. Like other villages in Latoma, Nesowi has not been established for sanitation scope. This is because of not many people in Nesowi have toilet in their houses. The first thing of what EGSLP doing in Nesowi is to conduct Environmental Sanitation Awareness. After that the people there was proposing to build toilets for 27 households. This activity cost only IDR 13 Million for that many good toilets. This is excellent progress due to the condition that is the village is very far from town and need bigger cost than only 13 Million for more than 10 latrines. Audit Public for this activity was held on September 23, 2011.

Sanitation and the Importance for Society
Limboto, EGSLP Sanitation is a part of behavior to live in a healthy and clean environment. It aims to make people more aware of the importance of improving their health for the sake of cleanliness personally and generally. Many people do not know yet about the importance of sanitation so that sanitation seminar should be held for them. EGSLP provides sanitation awareness program to the community sanitation in the villages that included its intervention area in Gorontalo and Kendari. Like Environmental Sanitation Awareness seminars that conducted in Bongohulawa, Limboto (06/07/11). There were quite a few people who attended on that occasion. Experts from Line Agencies in Gorontalo District were coming to deliver the material. One of them was Elvis Ayuba S. KM (in picture) which is a staff from health institution Kab. Gorontalo.

Organic Pesticides Production and Forest Trees Breeding Activities in Marisa Watershed
Marisa, EGSLP WESI activities just began in 2011 in Konawe and Gorontalo. Like in Marisa Watershed area, Gorontalo, two activities just started there; Training on Making Organic Pesticides and Training on Forest Trees Breeding (Mahogany and Breadfruit). Organic Pesticides Production was held on November 22, 2011. People there were asked to be more aware with all natural things around them, because those things can be very important for life. The example is many plants in their backyards that can be utilized as organic pesticides i.e. Papaya leaves, Castor Oil leaves, Bael fruit, Lemon / Oil grass, and Thai ginger. An organic pesticide is an important thing for pest control and prevention naturally without damaging the soil and plants components. Meanwhile another activity, Training on Forest Trees Breeding has been going for on 2 meetings. At the second meeting, participants have set the location and do the filling medium (polybag) for nursery process. The community has chose Mahogany and Breadfruit as the trees that they want to develop. One of reasons for that is especially for Breadfruit tree; nowadays it is seldom to be found in Gorontalo. Yet the Breadfruit tree (the fruits) is one of the fruits that often be used by the community. In this activity, K2DAS has collaborated with Forestry Service to run this training.

Forest Trees Breeding Activities at the second meeting

Rattan Handicraft Activities and Its Marketing Management in Mid Lahumbuti Watershed that live in Mid Lahumbuti area on Dec. 1-5. The community knows well about their villages potential of natural resources including non-timber product like rattan.

The participants which were consisting 20 hh (4 women, 16 men) were able to learn the material during the training. And they also able to create a rattan product very well. So by this time, the Based on that case, K2DAS Mid Lahumbuti held Rattan Handi- participants were expected to use their creative ability to increase craft Activities and Its Marketing Management for community their income and as generally to grow their villages economy rapidly. - Rattan is a non-timber forest that grows in the forests of Southeast Sulawesi. Think that rattan cannot be utilized, but if it is converted into a handicraft or useful product, the resale value will be higher. During this time, rattan just be sold in raw materials only. But if people want to learn how to make a handicraft from it, it will be a very good value for them.

Overcome Problems of Waste Disposal using SPAL (Wastewater sewer)

Obituary: Pak Haji Fatahuddin, Chief of K2DAS Upper Lahumbuti , Dies at 52 Pak Haji Fatahuddin A. Musa, was a chief of K2DAS for Upper Lahumbuti, died on Dec. 13 in Abuki, Konawe. He was 52. Gorontalo, EGSLP One of many sanitation problems that community has in sanitation scope is poor waste disposal. Some people in villages are often made dizzy with this problem seem trivial. As happened in Pilohayanga village in Gorontalo, some people complain of puddles that always come up every time it rains. This is due to the lack of good drainage in their settlement. Then they conduct a verification and manufacturing planning SPAL (wastewater sewers). SPAL is made to flow through household wastewater sewers to a point. SPAL also prevent the possibility of a puddle on the settlement, especially when the rainy season comes. Making SPAL in the village Pilohayanga take up to 6 months, and after that no more complaints anymore about this. During his life, he was known as a person who was very responsible and dedicated to his duties as chief for K2DAS in Upper Lahumbuti. Before, he was also being a chief for K2PD in Aleuti. He was sharp and always bearing brilliant ideas for the excellent works. Born on August 30, 1959 in Enrekang, Pak Haji was still thinking about K2DAS and its activities during his last time, especially the upcoming activity, Integrated Pest Controlling for Watermelon and Cucumber. Before he dies, he left messages to his staff in K2DAS Upper Lahumbuti, in order to conducting the WESI activity very well. Goodbye Pak Haji, we will miss you.
