elcoming the holy month Ramadan, Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir (RAGAM) held an annual event Pasar Murah Ramadan (PMR). An event held annually as part of RAGAM Community Service Director’s program. Not so difference with the previous PMR, this year PMR was also held in a slump area – residence for unfortunate people. After having several surveys, we decided to choose Kampung Nelayan

project. Before PMR, we have been there to organize medical service on March 2012. PMR was hold on July, 29 2012. This event was not only conducting used clothing bazaar but also selling a variety of basic food packages to residents Cilincing fishing village at very cheap price. Clothes that sold around Rp 500,00 – Rp 5.000,00 (Approximately 5 to 50 US Cents) were all sold out. The basic food packages that we sold for Rp 30.000,00 were

that basic needs is very expensive during lebaran season. The event began with members of RAGAM, friends of RAGAM, and volunteers were gathered in the lobby at 07:00 am at FX Mall. Then the participants who had gathered and ready to go to Cilincing are divided into several cars. At around 08:15 am we headed to Kampoong Nelayan Cilincing once we finished with the praying for the success of the event. We reached Kampoong

community leader), and Bapak Ustadz, RAGAM & Team left the site. The short preparation started

Project Officer, Rtr. Yusuf. Confusing in the beginning, but we swiftly re-layout the second hand clothes bazaar based on the site condition and soon we arranged the clothes on some tables that available on the site. By around 14:00 pm, the clothes are sold out. Basic food packages were also sold out by Cilincing residents. We soon gathered in a mosque not so far from the site to count the money and discuss about the last coordination. 15:00 pm after saying farewell to the citizens represented by Bapak RT (community leader), Bapak RW (Higher

First Project PMR was a big challenge for Rtr. Yusuf who was recently inducted as RAGAM member. Entrusted to be the PMR Project Officer was not an easy job. However with good intention, effort and help from All RAGAM members, Rtr. Yusuf was able to conduct PMR at Cilincing.

unday, on April 29, 2012 was the day when Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir celebrates the fourth birthday. At that time, me, (Salahuddin Yusuf) was inducted to be new member of Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir. I was immediately appointed as Project Officer for Pasar Murah Ramadhan (PMR).

the second hand clothes bazaar run effective, the residents are asked to wait in line and every person will only allow buying 5 peaces of clothes. if they want to buy more than 5, they must be willing to wait in line again. The basic food packages purchasing procedure was easier, because only residents who

the residents were very enthusiastic to follow the instruction in an orderly manner. The sun heat and the thirst were forgotten even though most of us were fasting at that time. Joking around with the resident from Kampoong Nelayan Cilincing and saw their smiley face made our spirit stayed up till the end of the

The goals of this event are; to sell cheap basic food packages and cheap second hand clothes to Kampoong Nelayan Cilincing residents. We sold Rp 30.000,00 (Approx 3 USD) per basic needs packet, and Rp 500,00 – Rp 5.000,00 (approx 5 to 50 US cents) for the clothes. The outcomes will be given back to the community in the form of stuffs that they may need, for example carpet for mosque, cleaning tools etc. Around 10:30 WIB just before the event started, I have to make sure that all my friends were ready at their respective positions. Then, I explained the bazaar purchasing procedures to the residents who

received coupon that was distributed two days before the event that allow to buy the packet. After the briefing done, we started the clothes bazaar. 3 personnel in charge as guards stand by at the entrance is allowing six people to enter the vicinity for each turn. My first duty as time keeper was to keep the number of buyer in every round. I restricted the length of the time in every round approximately about 3 – 5 minutes. This is in order to give opportunity to other residents who wanted to buy clothes were not running out of clothes that they want. I thought that the residents will be difficult to directed

program. After lunch break, we lowered the prizes down to Rp 1.000,00 00 (Approx US 10 cents) to attract the residents back to the bazaar. The resident came back to queue up and buy the remaining clothes after they heard the news. When the remaining clothes were almost all sold out, we lowered the prize again to Rp 500,00 (Approx US 5 cents) and even some we gave away for free and we left open the entrance with no guards and no need to queue. Hopefully, through this event, we can be more grateful to our current state and could help many people without expecting any return.

Breakfasting with Rotary Club of Jakarta Gambir

The Revival of Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir

My hope for the Rotaract Club in Indonesia, is to further improve community service, which emphasize on the future of the Indonesia’s Children, because they are the Future

Vicky S. Gunawan Past President Member of Rotary Club of Jakarta Gambir D3410 Indonesia

Active role of Vicky S. Gunawan in the re-forming of Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir is undeniable. With his help, finally the Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir which had been vacuum managed to resurface and achieve success. Let’s take a look at the tale through our interview below. A father which was born in Surabaya 28 June has the hobby of travelling in between his hectic schedule running a business in planning and construction. In the beginning he got to know the social service organization Rotary International from the giant disaster Tsunami in Aceh (Indonesia) in the end

Mr Osman Aman (Rotary Tsunami Disaster Management), Mrs Monica Ginting (Rotary Tsunami Disaster Management), Mr Vicky Gunaman (Planner), Mrs Rithe Rihatinah (Rotary District Governor 2004-2005) and the Aceh Besar Regent Starting with the pictures, completed with Multimedia Presentation, the initial starting material for International Fund Raising within Rotary International was formed, which in the end produced a superb International Help Collaboration. As time goes, in the middle of 2006, the physical construction of Rotary Youth Center (RYC) Banda Aceh was started. It started with

nessed by PDG Osman Aman (as the sponsor), PDG. Natalia, Soebagjo, PDG. Rodolfo Balmater, PDG. Mark K.Y. Wong, PDG, Guz Goh and PP Andreas Sindhudarma (as the Club President 20062007). Surely there’s a reason why finally Mas Vicky wanted to join and be active after more than year. “There’s only one reason, it’s a very fundamental happiness when we had the chance to share to other human beings” explained Mas Vicky. “To me, the organization both Rotary as the main, and Rotaract as the subordinate has the sufficient core joint and ethical standars to conduct

of 2004, where as time passed by, a client namely Mr Osman Aman requested for his help. Mr Osman, the owner of an internation School in Jakarta, asked for the help to create a master plan to rebuild the village of Blang Kreung, a district in Aceh. After a few times visiting Aceh directly, interacting with the local communities and several personnel from Rotary International, then on February 2005 a concept of Rotary Youth Center Banda Aceh was born. An integrated complex for the activities of Aceh young generations which had been impacted by the Tsunami was originally a collective idea by Mrs Dedek Arrachmand

“Gampong Aneuk” which a place for the orphans caused by the Tsunami for the ages 12 years old and below, which is an assistance Project by Rotary Club of Turramurra D9680 Sidney Australia and RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service). The activities has made Mas Vicky (The casual nickname of Mr Vicky S. Gunawan among Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir) involved directly and felt the call to give a professional service voluntarily. Finally on September 2006 Mas Vicky was officially inaugurated to became a Rotarian in the Rotary Club Jakarta Gambir by the District Governor of

social service activities. This makes the service results are measurable, and the impact is felt by the community which needs it “ he continued. Mas Vicky added “Being in an organization, there are a lot of lessons and experiences obtained; one of it is to learn to understand the characters of individuals, and then adjust to it. This is because each individual is a volunteer which is not paid and working according to his capacity with equal tasks and responsibilities. The on that tied us all is a spirit and commitment to serve without expecting return, for a better community”. The re-chartering of Rotaract

(Young Generation, Aceh Volunteer),

that period, PDG. Sujatmiko, wit-

Club Jakarta Gambir (RACJG) was

Program by Rotary Club Jakarta Gambir. It was agreed that the rechartering event to be conducted on 6th April 2006 at Jmoss Café Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, with the old memberships was merged, when inaugurated, all will be considered as members with the new spirit. At that time, the names of the Re-charter members of Rotaract Club Jakarta Gambir are:

started from a few activities by Rotary Club of Jakarta Gambir which in the year 2005-2006 was busy with community service in Aceh and Teluk Naga Tangerang. In each of those activities, there were 2 youngsters which had always been involved, they are Farida Anggraeni and Raden Kusumarojo where they are still registered as the member of Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir, meanwhile

Initiated by a few meeting in the community service, together with the strong will to gather back all the youngsters ex Rotaract Jakarta Gambir which has similarity in vision to conduct community service, the meetings was started around January-March 2006 in a café in Pondok Indah Mall. The discussion was colored by a lot of story sharings volunteering in many social activities. Finally the discussion narrowed down to the idea to recharted the Rotaract organization which by that time was decided to be initiated by passive professional development. The background of the idea is because the volunteers was mostly Final Year university students which needs selfdevelopment so that when time comes, will be ready to work professionally. In the plan to recharter, there was an emphasis that the organization

the status of the club itself was inactive, therefore they were conducting their social activities via the foundation KKS Pelita Hati which is owned by ex-Rtn. Monica Soedibjo.

must have direct benefits to the members, so that a balance between giving to the community and giving to their own selves is achieved. In 15 March 2006, all who was involved, proposed to the Rotary Club President for that period 2005-2006, PP Johnson Young, to conduct the recharter of Rotaract Club of Jakarta Gambir as a part of Community Service

her effort in inviting new potential members, having long discussion and deep brainstorming, RAC Gam-

rechartered in 2008. This amazing woman whom was born in Jakarta, 26 February 1978, has brought changing in RAC Gambir with her big heart and social adventuruous nature. She has done countless contributions to the club, especially in key milestone of RAC Gambir rebirth. This woman whom graduated from Psychology Gunadarma University, started her involvement with Rotaract by becoming community service event volunteer for the first 3 years. Although at first she didn’t imagine herself to be part of RAC Gambir, but the urge to help others was really running strong within her blood, eventually she fell in love with rotaract and decided to join RAC Gambir after RYLA 2005 (Ungaran, Central Java). This decision was inspired by Rotarian

Gambir felt so natural since her passsion is in community service and at that time she already participated in a certain social organization community in Jakarta which having join project with Rotary and Rotaract Jakarta Gambir. Not only gained new family but Rotaract also gave valuable experience for her self development. Ida was getting more intense with RAC Gambir after she got back from her Social Duty in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam in May 2007. She found that her beloved club was no longer active. Her heart was called and she took drastic measure with support from Rotarian Vicky Gunawan to re-activate RAC Gambir. This was the beginning of RAC Gambir rechartered journey. It wasn’t easy, admited Ida, along with

bir was officially rechartered in April 2008 with total 11 members and Ida as The Club President. One of her regret was her late involvement in RAC Gambir. “Because I get a lot from Gambir. Power of mind, discipline, creativity, faith and caring for others. One of the important thing is that I’m proud being part of RAC Gambir” explained Ida. She has seen how this club progressed, in her opinion, the biggest challenge for RAC Gambir is to maintain family relationship among members so that each member can develop to be great leader in helping others and create positive difference for society. Currently Ida has been graduated from RAC Gambir. Despite of her alumni status, her spirit is still within RAC Gambir. Thank you Ida!(anjar)

About Mumbai

The financial city of India is divided into two parts- South Mumbai and the suburbs. In South Mumbai only the rich and famous live while working class people dominate the suburbs. The difference is due to exorbitant real estate prices. Then there is the third area where people live in small and dilapidated huts near railway tracks, in large grounds and near building sites – the slum area. The largest slum area in the world exists in Mumbai – Dharavi. There is no proper sanitation, not enough supply of drinking water, and the surrounding area is very unhygienic. Still people lead their life there with a smile on their face. Arriving from overseas, one encounters first this extroverted city. But in the layers below, a strange truth is buried. If the elite live in virtual exile, seeing Mumbai as a part of departure, the city teems with millions of migrants who see it in exactly the opposite way: as a mesmeric port of arrival, offering what is missing on the mainland, a chance to invent oneself, to break with one’s supposed fate. “Rich Little, Poor More” by Rashmi Bansal, a mush read. Many said we will make it into Shanghai, it is possible but try making Shanghai to Mumbai and you fall flat on your nose. We love the way it is. We complain yet there are jitters when we have to relocate. We crib but we celebrate without reason. We hate but ask any Mumbaikar and you know the love for one’s city. The New York Times has described this city of heavens and hells. These dueling claims on Mumbai explain its mongrel look: like a duty-free mall in parts, in parts like a refugee camp. The wealthy complain that the surge immigration has strained public services, shocked roads, turned 15-minutes drives into 2-hour odysseys, rendered real estate into slum estates. They say migrants spit, steal electricity, commit crime, harass women and live off the public dole. Perhaps this is why the affluent dream of New York. But the migrants relish Mumbai, for they know other places.

“Dekhiye jidhar nayaa kuch kamaal

The longer you remain, the less you

Bombay sheher ka bada naam hai

place which has seen the rise of stars like Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkan. But the real heroes are the so called middle class of Mumbai. They travel by the crowded train and go to work. They juggle a lot of things in a day. Even if they are tired at the end of the day, it is the enthusiasm and energy in them that keeps their life kicking. The trains are the lifeline of Mumbai. They carry millions of people to work and

back home. It the trains are disrupted even for an hour, the city comes to a halt.

ave you ever imagined how rich a person could be if he had all the specialties and

flavors of India in his pocket? How enriching his life would be if only he could carry this essence of India, with him! Well, I just have. It is incredible to have the natural scenic beauty, the perfect blend of ancient and modern, advancing technology, oldest existing culture, and a combination of the best economic structure in our motherland. As a popular saying goes“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!”. But with all the cosmetic surgery, technology and make-up that we have in today’s world, beauty has become a commodity that can be bought and not natural. Yet India offers a pleasant break from the artificial environment we are constantly surrounded by. With Kerala’s majestic beaches and soothing calm, Kashmir’s scenic beauty, to Madhya Pradesh’s ancient all-famous monuments, all the enchanting forests and wildlife reserves, tourists can just never have enough of India! When I imagine beauty, I see something natural and simple. Whether it is a person or object, I cannot define beauty. It just has to please the eyes and soothe the nerves. Natural attractiveness is a rare and pleasing quality. And when you get all this in one place, what more could you ask for? Also, tourism isn’t the only thing India can boast about. It is a very swiftly developing country. Enormous advancements have taken place in all fields in India over

the past decade. Gujarat is the best

Our motherland has also been known as the land of agriculture. We have acres and acres of beautiful fertile land. A majority of our population earns their livelihood from this sector. Currently, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Even though the economic contribution from the agricultural sector is declining, agriculture is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of India. Along with the development of the country, there has been sig-

science and medicines. The art of surgery has been recorded in our history as early as 800 B.C. Also, the science of mixing herbs and homemade medical remedies, Ayurveda first originated in India. Entertainment also forms a very centric and important part of any Indian’s lifestyle. And when you mention entertainment, Bollywood strikes your mind immediately. The Indian film industry, Bollywood has achieved a very respectable position not only in India but also throughout the world. Many of our artists and performers have been honored with international awards and recognitions.

Hunkar Begendi sauce: 2 large, firm aubergines 3 tpbs (tablespoon) flour 2 tbps butter 2 glasses of milk (heated with 1/4 onion and 1 bay leaf) pinch of sugar pinch of nutmeg salt 3 tbsp grated mozzarella Wrap the eggplants in aluminum foil and grill over the stove. Prick aubergines with a knife to prevent them bursting under gril, when they are burned turn the other side, burn very well. Then leave to cool. In the mean time prepare the bechamel sauteing flour with butter adding milk and seasoning. Peel the aubergines crusty burnt skin. They come out very easily as strips after cutting the head. Scoop the flesh out, discard the seeds if there is any. Taste it. It should be sweet with very nice fumed aroma. Chop well, then add to the bechamel with mozzarella and nutmeg, incorporate. It should be broken white in colour. When you taste it, if it is somehow tangy, bitter, unpleasant to you, drain the juice marinade with

some milk, then drain and use. Istanbul women used to do in the older days. I don’t know why other recipes recommend lemon juice. Tas Kabab: 450 g lamb meat (cut into 3 cm cubes) 1 large onion (chopped julien) 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp (teaspoon) flour 1 tsp tomate paste salt, black pepper pinch of cinnamon (optional) Tas means bowl. In the authentic version they put raw meat,onion and seasonings into a bowl then turn it upside down to the tray, adding some water when necessary and cook very slowly. It is actually steamed inside the bowl. Place the chopped meat and onion with olive oil in a saucepan, put the lid on, cook on a moderate heat adding water when necessary till meats are tender. When it is still juicy, add flour, tomato paste, spices, and seasoning. In the end you will see the onions will melt and produce a rich, creamy sauce and the meat will keep their shape, but when you touch with a fork they will easily flake. It maybe a good idea to marinade the meat with onions a day before if you are using other than lamb. I prefer preparing the tas kebab well in advance. It makes things easier. When serving the dish, you can put the sauce and the meat side by side, or serve the meat on top of the sauce.
