Foreword

Kata Pengantar

This publication, AI Project, endeavors to record in pictures and prose the work done in schools across the country to raise awareness about avian influenza and the dangers of a flu pandemic.

Buku ini, AI Project, merekam berbagai gambar dan kisah kerja keras sekolah-sekolah se-Indonesia dalam meningkatkan pemahaman tentang flu burung dan bahaya sebuah pandemi influenza.

The AI team in UNICEFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main office in Jakarta created a kit that contained creative yet educational materials to be used by the schools. UNICEF field offices then worked with local education departments to develop curriculum and lesson plans. The program has been implemented through UNICEF nine main field offices and to other parts of the country where the need was greatest. To date, an estimated 15 million children have benefited from this program.

Sebuah tim, yang dijuluki â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AI Teamâ&#x20AC;?, di kantor UNICEF Indonesia di Jakarta membuat sebuah paket pendidikan untuk sekolah dasar. Kantor-kantor perwakilan UNICEF di daerah dan dinas pendidikan di daerah merumuskan kurikulum dan rencana pengajarannya. Pada akhirnya, program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung ini telah dilaksanakan di sembilan kantor perwakilan daerah dan juga wilayah lain di Indonesia yang membutuhkan. Sampai hari ini, diperkirakan sekitar 15 juta anak Indonesia sudah merasakan keuntungan program ini.

I would like to personally thank each and every principal and teacher that took part in this program and I encourage them all to continue to spread these very important messages to the children of Indonesia, the future of this exciting and diverse nation. Angela Kearney Representative UNICEF Indonesia

Saya persembahkan rasa terima kasih yang tak terhingga kepada semua kepala sekolah dan guru yang berperan dalam program ini dan saya harap mereka tetap menyebarkan pesan-pesan penting kesehatan kepada seluruh anak Indonesia, masa depan negeri indah nan elok ini. Angela Kearney Kepala Perwakilan UNICEF Indonesia

ai project

When bird flu began to spread through Asia in 2003, it sent shockwaves through the scientific world. Here was a virus that killed anywhere from 60% to 80% of its victims and there was no cure. International donors sent millions of dollars to countries affected by the deadly virus. Governments - often with support from U.N. agencies, NGOs and humanitarian aid groups - went to work. From big cities to small villages, from markets to slaughterhouses, efforts were underway to raise awareness about this deadly virus and to try to halt its rapid spread. Indonesia is one of the worst affected countries and some 40% of victims here have been children or adolescents. The sprawling archipelago saw poultry avian flu cases in 31 of the country’s 33 provinces, and human cases in 12 of them. The disease became endemic across most of the country. Working with Indonesia’s National Avian and Pandemic Influenza Committee (KOMNAS FBPI) and UN partners, UNICEF Indonesia launched its nationwide AI campaign in 2006. The emphasis was on developing effective communication materials and working with the media and local communities to raise awareness on the issue and reduce the risk of families catching the deadly disease.

introduction

Kala Flu Burung mulai merebak di Asia di tahun 2003, berita tersebut menggemparkan dunia. Ditemukan sebuah virus yang mampu membunuh 60 - 80 persen korbannya dan obatnya belum ditemukan hingga kini. Negara-negara donor memberikan bantuan jutaan dolar Amerika kepada negara-negara yang menghadapi wabah tersebut. Pemerintah bersama dengan badan-badan Perserikatan BangsaBangsa (PBB), lembaga swadaya masyarakat, dan organisasi lainnya bekerja keras menghentikan penyebaran flu burung. Berbagai program dilancarkan di seluruh desa, kota, pasar serta tempat pemotongan hewan, untuk meningkatkan upaya pemahaman, pencegahan dan penghentian penyebaran. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara yang paling menderita karena Flu Burung. Sekitar 40 persen korban Flu Burung anak-anak. Flu Burung endemis di 31 dari 33 propinsi se-Indonesia. Berkat kerjasama yang erat dengan Komite Nasional Pengendalian Flu Burung dan Kesiapsiagaan Menghadapi Pandemi Influenza (Komnas FBPI) dan badanbadan PBB lainnya, UNICEF Indonesia meluncurkan kampanye “Tanggap-Flu Burung” di tahun 2006. UNICEF Indonesia memproduksi materi komunikasi, bermitra dengan media massa dan mengembangkan potensi masyarakat untuk melindungi diri dari flu burung.

ai project

This all led to the development of an ambitious school program. The program set out to teach the young generation how to reduce their risk of catching the virus. They, in turn, would pass the knowledge outward, warning and teaching their parents and communities. Indonesia’s Avian Influenza and Pandemic Preparedness Team worked with the UNICEF Education section, which runs the Creating Learning Communities for Children (CLCC) program. The UNICEF-supported CLCC is an integrated approach to improving education quality in primary school by strengthening three core aspects: school management that is transparent, participatory, and accountable; strong community participation to support the functioning of the school; and classroom teaching that is effective, innovative, creative and enjoyable. The program was initially funded by Japan and then CIDA, the Canadian International Development Agency.

introduction

Salah satu terobosan UNICEF Indonesia adalah melahirkan Program “Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung”. Sebuah program yang mendidik anak-anak Indonesia tentang cara melindungi diri dari Flu Burung dan menjadikan mereka kader penyuluh bagi para orang tua dan masyarakat di wilayah mereka tinggal. Tim Avian Influenza dan Kesiapsiagaan Pandemi bekerjasama dengan Bidang Pendidikan UNICEF Indonesia yang menjalankan program Manajemen Berbasis Sekolah (MBS) dalam melancarkan program ini. MBS adalah sistem berbasis pada tiga prinsip: manajemen yang transparan, partisipatif, dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan; partisipasi masyarakat yang aktif dalam memfungsikan sekolah; dan kegiatan belajar-mengajar yang efektif, inovatif, kreatif dan menyenangkan. Program Flu Burung di sekolah-sekolah ini didukung oleh Pemerintah Jepang dan Pemerintah Kanada melalui CIDA (the Canadian International Development Agency).

The program was launched in December 2007 at the Kebonagung Primary School in East Java by KOMNAS Chief Executive Bayu Krisnamurthi. “This bird flu virus will be with us for some time, so we must integrate life-saving bird flu information in schools to ensure that the next generation knows how to deal with this threat and future ones,” said Mr. Krisnamurthi. The program’s centerpiece is a school kit containing a variety of educational tools that were specially developed using characters from the popular local TV series ‘Bajaj Bajuri’. Since the bird flu program’s inception, more than 70,000 kits have been distributed to schools across the country. UNICEF worked with the television show’s creative team to develop a short cartoon and public service advertisements that would be aired on local and national television stations. These aimed to increase awareness of three basic messages: don’t play with poultry; wash your hands with soap; and report dead poultry to teachers, parents or the village head.

Program ini diluncurkan pada akhir Desember 2007 di Sekolah Dasar Kebonagung di Jawa Timur oleh Ketua Komnas FBPI, Dr. Bayu Krisnamurthi. “Virus Flu Burung akan bersama kita dalam beberapa waktu mendatang, maka dari itu kita harus integrasikan pesan-pesan pencegahan kedalam pelajaran sekolah untuk memastikan bahwa generasi berikutnya paham cara merespon ancaman ini dan juga ancaman-ancaman lain yang akan timbul di masa mendatang,” ujarnya. Setelah peluncuran tersebut, lebih dari 70 ribu paket Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung dikirim ke seluruh penjuru negeri. Paket berisikan alat mengajar guru dalam mengintegrasikan informasi Flu Burung kedalam mata pelajaran yang ada. Seluruh isi paket dikembangkan dari tokohtokoh tayangan komedi televisi “Bajaj Bajuri”. UNICEF Indonesia bersama tim kreatif Bajaj Bajuri mengembangkan animasi yang menjadi iklan layanan masyarakat. Animasi berdurasi 7 menit itu ditayangkan di seluruh stasiun televesi di Indonesia dan bertujuan menyebarkan tiga pesan utama bagi anak-anak: jangan bermainmain dengan unggas yang sakit, cuci tangan dengan sabun dan air dengan sering, dan laporkan kematian unggas ke guru, orang tua atau kepala desa.

introduction

ai project

The seven-minute cartoon enforces these three messages through the antics of the lovable but sometimes clueless Bajuri family: Bajuri, his wife Oneng, mother-in-law Emak, his adopted son Soleh and his best buddy, Ucup. When Ucup brings home a sick cockerel and it infects his pretty hens, the whole family is in uproar. Emak wants to cook the fowl, while Oeng rushes off to report the crisis to the Village Head. Only the levelheaded young boy soleh realizes that they should all wash their hands right away. Ucup graps his hens and after a frantic hen chase, Bajuri, Emak, Soleh and Oneng find Ucup sick with fever. As Ucup is rushed to a hospital, the hens volunteer to go to their deaths for the sake of humanity. The story is also recreated in a colorful flipchart that can be used by teachers to re-enforce the messages. The kit also includes a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide, large banner and stickers. But the kit is just a start. Using these materials, UNICEF field offices got teachers involved in workshops where they developed lesson plans that would stir pupilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; imaginations. The results included poems, posters and plays, and the integration of avian flu prevention messages into classes ranging from mathematics to languages, science and religion. This book aims to chronicle this innovative school program, as well as the teachers and children who played such a crucial and constructive role in its success so far.

introduction

Cerita dalam animasi tersebut berkisar seputar kehidupan Bajuri, istrinya: Oneng, mertuanya: Emak, anak angkatnya: Soleh, dan Ucup, sahabat karibnya. Pada suatu hari, Ucup membawa pulang ayam jantan yang akan dia kawinkan dengan ayam betinanya. Namun sayang, Si Ayam Jantan terkena Flu Burung. Para ayam betina yang tahu gejala tersebut, berusaha memperingatkan Ucup untuk tidak menyentuh pejantan tersebut. Terlambat, Ucup sudah ter lanjur memeluk ayam sekarat tersebut. Emak mengganggap bahwa dengan sakitnya ayam itu, Si Jantan siap diolah menjadi lauk-pauk. Dia pun menyentuh ayam sakit tersebut. Soleh berhasil memperingatkan Ucup dan Emak untuk cepatcepat cuci tangan dan segera melaporkan kejadian tersebut. Oneng kemudian memanggil Pak RT untuk melaporkan ayam sakit. Saat Pak RT ingin menyita ayam dan memanggil mantri hewan, Ucup melarikan ayamnya, meskipun akhirnya tertangkap juga. Ucup kemudian dirawat karena menunjukkan gejala flu dan ayam-ayamnya dimusnahkan demi keselamatan warga sekitar. Selain film kartun, paket Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung juga terdiri dari buku panduan mengajar Flu Burung bagi guru, stiker-stiker berwarnawarni untuk murid, dan papan presentasi (flipchart) berisi kisah Bajuri dan Flu Burung. Paket ini hanya stimulus. Kantor-kantor perwakilan UNICEF di daerah kemudian melibatkan banyak guru untuk merumuskan rencana pengajaran yang mampu membangkitkan imajinasi murid. Hasilnya: berbagai puisi, lagu, dan drama tercipta serta diadopsinya isu flu burung ke dalam pelajaran matematika, bahasa, ilmu pengetahuan alam dan agama. Buku ini mengisahkan tentang program inovatif ini, serta peran para guru dan anak-anak yang memungkinkan program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung terlaksana di seluruh Indonesia.

Imam’s Story

Kisah Imam

Khalida’s Story

Kisah Khalida

13-year-old Imam started as ‘Dokter Kecil’ (‘Little Doctor’) in 7th grade, when bird flu first broke out. “By the time I started 8th grade, our program evolved, with many plays and presentations. Nearly all the kids here have chickens living at their homes, so it’s an important issue. We use theater because it’s easy for people to understand. If we do it through lectures or written material, kids get bored, the material doesn’t stick with them. Through our plays they seem to be more engaged and interested, the message stays in their heads even after the play is over.“

Imam, 13, sudah menjadi dokter kecil sejak usia 7 tahun, saat pertama kali dia mendengar kata “flu burung”. “Setelah saya kelas 8 (kelas II SMP), saya mulai aktif ikut program flu burung. Isu ini penting, karena hampir semua siswa disini punya ayam di rumah mereka. Kami bermain drama karena mudah ditangkap pesannya. Kalau lewat ceramah atau tulisan, teman-teman cepat bosan, pesannya tidak sampai. Lewat pementasan drama, mereka lebih tertarik menonton dan pesan-pesan kami lebih mudah ditangkap,” terangnya.

“I joined because it’s fun to be part of something like this and also because I noticed a lot of ignorance about health issues amongst my fellow students and I wanted to change that, wanted to show them how to live a healthier, safer lifestyle.”

“Saya ikutan karena aktivitas seperti ini menyenangkan dan saya merasa banyak yang tidak peduli tentang kesehatan. Saya mau merubah pikiran semacam itu, saya ingin tunjukkan bagaimana cara hidup yang lebih sehat,” ujar gadis 13 tahun yang duduk di kelas 8 itu.

“I have been active on bird flu issues at school for nearly two years. I think our classmates respond well to our activities and messages on bird flu because we are their equals and their friends, so it’s more fun when it’s coming from us than from adult teachers. “

“Saya aktif di program flu burung sejak dua tahun lalu. Saya rasa temanteman lebih senang mendapatkan informasi dari kami-kami daripada dari orang dewasa karena kami lebih dekat dengan mereka dan setara. Respon mereka bagus sekali.”

The Bird Flu Play

Drama Flu Burung

The students stage an elaborate play on bird flu, for which they have been rehearsing for weeks. Their play depicts a normally idyllic village that eventually falls prey to the looming threat of avian flu. One dramatic scene features a village child falling gravely ill to the disease. The play then illustrates how the villagers - through education, consultation and communal cooperation - draw important lessons about bird flu and resolve to combat the threat in the future. Throughout the show, an eager audience comprising the actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classmates sits enraptured by the lively spectacle, evidence that this is no ordinary education.

Dengan berbagai kreavitas buatan sendiriâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;kostum warna-warni dan properti panggung yang kreatifâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;siswa-siswi SMPN 1 Sukabumi mementaskan drama tentang merebaknya wabah di sebuah desa. Seorang anak tiba-tiba sakit flu setelah memegang unggas sakit dan seluruh desa kemudian panik. Datanglah sekelompok pemuda yang berusaha menenangkan suasana dan menerangkan apa flu burung sebenarnya dan bagaimana cara mencegah penyebarannya. Pementasan yang lucu, atraktif, dan akting yang sungguh-sungguh, membuat seluruh perhatian penonton tertuju ke panggung sepanjang pementasan.

COMMUNITY PROJECT daar el falah

This Islamic boarding school for girls is home to some 250 students. Biology teacher Abdul Aziz Muslim says that they like to keep up with current issues like bird flu. “We like to empower the older students and we allow them to teach the younger ones about issues like bird flu.” With H1N1 now affecting boarding schools across the country, we need to be even more diligent,” he adds. Pesantren putri ini menjadi pondok belajar dan tinggal sekitar 250 santri. Guru Biologi, Abdul Aziz Muslim, menerangkan bahwa kesemua santri tersebut suka mengikuti berita, termasuk tentang flu burung. “Kami berdayakan santri yang lebih senior untuk memberikan informasi yang benar dan lengkap tentang flu burung kepada yang lebih muda,” terangnya. “Apalagi sekarang banyak pesantren terserang virus H1N1, kami harus lebih giat melakukan penyuluhan.”

Lusi Sofia’s Story

Kisah Lusi Sofia

13-year-old Lusi comes from the nearby coastal town of Anyer. She has been at Daar El Falah for the past three years. Her days are filled with studying classic subjects like math and science and adding a few newer ones like avian influenza. She also has time to relax with friends and conduct her prayers five times a day. “One day I hope I can become a University professor and be able to memorize the entire Koran,” she says.

Lusi Sofia, 13, berasal dari Anyer. Dia sengaja menuntut ilmu di pesantren untuk belajar agama sekaligus ilmu modern, seperti matematika dan ilmu alam. Pelajaran terbarunya: avian influenza alias flu burung. “Saya ingin jadi profesor yang hafal Al Qur’an,” tutur gadis yang sudah tiga tahun mondok di pesantren.

“ It’s fun to come to the village and meet new people,” says Lusi. “They really listen to us when we talk about bird flu and now people are asking if swine flu is dangerous, too.” “Saya senang ke desa-desa dan bertemu warga,” kata Lusi. “Mereka sungguh-sungguh mendengar kita saat kita terangkan tentang flu burung. Dan kini orang bertanya kepada kami soal flu babi.”

Students helping the community The students also visit a neighboring village to raise awareness about AI. Backyard poultry are a common sight throughout the country and most chickens and ducks are free range. Lusi and her friends are warmly welcomed whenever they come for a community gathering.

Women’s singing project

Merangkul Majelis Taklim

Para santri tidak hanya melakukan penyuluhan flu burung di dalam pesantren, namun juga turun langsung ke masyarakat. Di tengah pemukiman penduduk dimana ayam berkeliaran adalah pemandangan umum, kehadiran Lusi dan kawan-kawannya sangat berdampak besar.

Inspired by the students, a local women’s group wrote a song about bird flu using a traditional melody. “Don’t let children play with poultry, come on let’s get this done,” they sing.

Terinspirasi oleh ajaran para santri, ibu-ibu majelis taklim setempat mengarang lagu tentang flu burung yang dinyanyikan dengan gaya qasidahan. “Jangan biarkan anak anak bermain-main dengan unggas, mari, mari laksanakan,” lantun kelompok tersebut, diiringi tabuhan rebana.

ARTS PROJECT

sd taman pukunden

Art and language classes are at the forefront of avian influenza prevention activities for students at Taman Pukunden primary school. A poster competition among schools in the province brought out the students’ creative side. Cynthia, Talentalia and Nabila, for instance, worked together on a poster to show how important it is to visit the health center if you have flu symptoms. The students also compose poems on bird flu. Bird flu is now a subject addressed in a fifth-grade Indonesian language textbook, the result of a curriculum development workshop. Mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia dan kesenian menjadi sarana utama murid-murid SD Negeri Taman Pukunden mendapatkan informasi tentang flu burung. Lomba poster antar sekolah menjadi pembuktian kualitas informasi dan kreativitas yang dimiliki pelajar di sekolah ini. Cynthia, Talentalia dan Nabila, bekerjasama membuat poster tentang pentingnya segera ke puskesmas (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat) apabila terkena flu. Pesan yang mereka sampaikan itu, kini bahkan dicetak dalam buku teks pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia.

Real Life Issues

Masalah dalam Kehidupan Sehari-hari

Fifth grade teacher Karyono Subagyo has been teaching children for more than 25 years, and he believes it’s important that schools talk to children about issues that are relevant to their real lives. “These children have read and heard a lot about bird flu in the media. That’s why we have included the issue when teaching about routine health or even in Indonesian language classes,” says Subagyo.

Karyono Subagyo sudah mengajar kelas lima selama 25 tahun. Dia percaya bahwa anak-anak harus diajak mendiskusikan berbagai masalah yang ada di sekitar kehidupan mereka. “Anak-anak telah banyak mendengar dan membaca tentang flu burung dari media. Tidak ada alasan kita tidak membahas isu tersebut setiap kali kita mengajar kesehatan atau Bahasa Indonesia,” katanya.

Bird Flu by Sri Nugraheni Kuspratiwi

The 11-year-old says he heard about bird flu on TV. “Millions of chickens died in my province and then a student from a nearby district died. My friends and I were a little scared. My teacher said that if we were careful and didn’t play with chickens and always washed our hands with soap, we could protect ourselves. It wasn’t so scary after that.”

One morning Someone reported to the village head That a child died of bird flu in the village Bird flu… why did you hurt this child?

The 10-year-old says she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. “I want to save people from diseases like bird flu. Bird flu is a new disease so we need to learn all we can about it so that none of my classmates get sick. The more we know, the more we can do something to stop it.”

Bird flu ... before you weren’t here But at night you came to attack mankind Bird Flu... an outbreak that spreads An illness so serious, making everyone afraid And adding to the death toll

Kisah Danindru Yuda Putra Danindru Yuda Putra, 11, sering mendengar berita flu burung di televisi. “Jutaan unggas mati dan seorang pelajar yang tinggalnya dekat rumah kami meninggal. Awalnya, saya dan teman-teman jadi takut, lalu guru bilang kalau kita hati-hati dan tidak bermain dengan unggas sakit atau mati, serta sering mencuci tangan, diri kita dapat telindungi. Setelah itu, saya tidak takut lagi,” tuturnya bercerita.

What should I do As time goes by the virus spreads Leave There are so many kinds of poultry that are infected with bird flu Many people still raise poultry For us it is a global problem

Kisah Sri Nugraheni Kuspratiwi Sementara itu, Sri Nugraheni Kuspratiwi, yang punya cita-cita menjadi dokter, ingin berkontribusi terhadap kampanye anti-flu burung. “Aku ingin selamatkan orang dari penyakit berbahaya seperti flu burung. Karena penyakitnya baru, kita mesti belajar banyak tentang flu burung supaya tidak ada teman yang kena. Semakin banyak kita tahu, semakin mudah kita menyetop penyebarannya,” ujar siswi berusia 10 tahun itu.

Oh God ... why did this have to happen? Was this your desire? Was this due to the conduct of man? Come friends, let us carry out three actions 1. Don’t play with poultry 2. Always wash hands with soap 3. Report to the village head or a teacher

STORY PROJECT sd kebundalem

One of the oldest CLCC schools in East Java, Kebundalem Primary hosts a team of enthusiastic teachers and a principal, Pak Suroto, who pushes, prods and perseveres to improve his school. The students’ artwork lines the classroom walls and the children aren’t confined to rows of desks all day. During a lesson on avian influenza the students sit on the floor and eagerly raise their hands to answer the teacher’s questions. Encouraging hand washing is easy at this school. Each classroom has its own outdoor sink. Sebagai salah satu sekolah bermetode MBS (Manajemen Berbasis Sekolah) tertua di Jawa Timur, SD Negeri Kebundalem, memiliki tim pengajar yang handal yang dikomandani kepala sekolah, Suroto. Karya seni dan kreativitas para murid terpajang diseluruh dinding kelas. Saat pelajaran flu burung diadakan, para murid bersemangat mengangkat tangan menjawab pertanyaan guru. Siswa pun lebih sering mencuci tangan, apalagi fasilitas yang dibutuhkan—keran air, sabun dan lap tangan—terdapat di depan setiap ruang kelas.

“It’s all about these children. They need to learn more than their subjects, they need to learn about life and issues like bird flu, and it’s our responsibility to give them all we can,” says Suroto.

“Semua yang kami lakukan adalah untuk anak-anak. Mereka perlu tahu isu terkini seperti flu burung, bukan hanya mata pelajaran. Tanggung jawab kamilah untuk membagi semua pengetahuan yang kami punya,” kata Suroto.

Bajuri Cartoon

Menonton Kartun

Bird Flu Story by Laily Izzati Putri

The school boasts an audio-visual lab where all the students were able to watch the ‘Bajaj Bajuri’ cartoon and discuss the show. “I love this cartoon, it’s so funny, especially Oneng (the mother), she doesn’t know anything but her child has all the answers,” says Laili Putri, a fifth grader.

Di laboratorium audio-visual milik sekolah, puluhan murid duduk rapi menyaksikan animasi Keluarga Bajuri Tanggap Flu Burung, yang dibuat khusus untuk paket pengajaran flu burung di sekolah. “Saya suka sekali kartunnya, lucu banget. Apalagi Si Oneng, meski gak tahu apa-apa, untungnya punya anak pintar,” komentar Laili Putri, siswi kelas 5.

There are several types of poultry including chickens, ducks, geese and birds. Animals like poultry need to be raised in the proper way. If we don’t raise them properly, poultry can get a dangerous illness, bird flu. Signs that poultry are ill are diarrhea, sneezing and they can’t crow. Bird flu can spread to people through direct contact with poultry that are infected with bird flu; if a victim doesn’t get treated quickly, they can die. The way to protect yourself from bird flu is to wash hands with soap after touching poultry, spraying chicken coops with disinfectant, washing eggs and chicken meat before cooking, and cooking until well done so you kill all the germs. Cerita Flu Burung oleh Laily Izzati Putri Ada beberapa macam unggas, diantaranya ayam, bebek, itik, angsa, burung, dan lain-lain. Unggas termasuk binatang peliharaan, jadi unggas harus dipelihara dengan baik. Apabila tidak dipelihara dengan baik, unggas bisa terkena penyakit membahayakan yaitu flu burung. Ciri-ciri unggas yang sakit adalah mengeluarkan kotoran berupa cairan yang berwarna putih, bersin2 dan terjangkal, tidak bisa berkokok. Flu burung dapat menyerang manusia melalui kontak langsung dengan unggas yang terjangkit flu burung, kalau penderita flu burung tidak cepat ditangani bisa mati. Cara mencegah agar tidak terkena flu burung adalah cuci tangan pakai sabun setelah bersentuhan dengan unggas, menyemprot kadang ayam dengan disinfektan, mencuci telur dan daging ayam sebelum dimasak. Masak hingga benar-benar matang agar kumankumannya mati.

Ratu Fadhilah’s Story

Kisah Ratu Fadhilah

Ratu seems wise beyond her years. When asked whether, once bird flu is wiped out, can she play with chickens once again, she thinks for a moment and says “We always have to be careful, you never know when a new virus can emerge.“ Words that were spoken just months before the new H1N1 pandemic emerged. Her statement underscores the need for current health education to become an integral part of the school curriculum across Indonesia.

Dikenal sebagai anak yang “matang sebelum waktunya”. Dia lebih bijaksana dalam berbicara dibandingkan teman-teman sepermainannya. Saat ditanya apakah jika flu burung dapat dimusnahkan, dia boleh berlega hati, dia diam sejenak lalu berkata: “Kita harus selalu waspada, bisa saja virus baru muncul lagi.” Ucapan tersebut dilontarkan jauh sebelum virus influenza baru H1N1 muncul. Dan benar, virus influenza baru itu muncul dan memicu pandemi global. Pernyataan Ratu menjadi bukti mendesaknya pendidikan kesehatan dimasukan dalam kurikulum sekolah dasar.

RELIGION PROJECT sd binjai

At Binjai Primary School, teachers raise awareness about avian influenza in classes on the environment, science and religion. Principal Ross Aswit has been teaching at this school for 30 years. She says they have always taught pupils the importance of keeping their environment clean. “Now, with AI, we also emphasize to the kids the importance of keeping poultry away from their homes, as well as keeping poultry cages clean. The children then pass these messages on to their parents.” Di SD Binjai, pelajaran ilmu pengetahuan alam, ilmu agama serta pengenalan lingkungan digunakan sebagai perantara mengenalkan flu burung kepada siswa. Kepala Sekolah Ross Aswit telah mengajarkan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan sejak 30 tahun yang lalu. “Lewat flu burung, kita tekankan kepada anak-anak tentang pentingnya menjauhkan kandang dari rumah dan menjaga kebersihan kandang. Anak-anak kemudian memberitahu orang tua mereka,” terangnya.

“I know we are not allowed to play with chickens. We have to always wash our hands before we eat and after we play outside.” When I go home I always remind my mother to cook chicken and eggs until they are really well done,” says Yasser Arafat Sitepu, age 9.

“Ya, saya diajarkan untuk tidak bermain-main dengan ayam, selalu cuci tangan sebelum makan dan setelah bermain,” tutur Yasser Arafat Sitepu. “Di rumah, saya selalu minta ibu untuk masak ayam dan telur hingga matang,” tambah siswa berumur 9 tahun itu.

Kisah Djasmaniar

Djasmaniar attended a bird flu training workshop and has now integrated what she learned into her religious classes. “Keeping clean is part of the traditional Islamic hadith (sayings) so we introduce the subject through the relevant religious sayings. We also talk about healthy cooking and eating by talking to the students about halal (religiously permitted) foods.”

Djasmaniar telah mengikuti pelatihan flu burung. Sekarang dia mengintegrasikan pengetahuannya itu ke dalam mata pelajaran Agama Islam. “Bersih dianjurkan oleh hadis, jadi anjuran itu relevan dengan ajaran agama. Kami juga mengajarkan bahwa salah satu syarat makanan halal ialah dimasak dengan matang dan bersih.”

“Our religion teacher always teaches us to keep clean, because it is one of the Prophet’s teaching, being clean is part of our faith,” says Tresia Gilang Sandit Hutabarat, 11 years old.

“Guru agama kami selalu mengajarkan hidup bersih, karena itu ajaran rasul. Kebersihan adalah sebagian dari iman,” kata Tresia Gilang Sandit Hutabarat, 11 tahun.

madrasah ibtidayah negeri In West Sumatra, UNICEF works closely with the local health office because the CLCC program has not yet been implemented in this province. Bird flu prevention messages have been integrated into the regular curriculum of Dokter Kecil (or ‘Little Doctor’) trainings by their teachers to disseminate information so that the bird flu virus cannot spread further. Dr. Irene, an official from the Provincial Health Department, explains: “If we develop the program with local actors, they have a sense of ownership. Sometimes schools keep creating and running bird flu awareness programs well beyond the official intended duration.” Meski belum ada sekolah yang menerapkan MBS (Manajemen Berbasis Sekolah), dinas kesehatan provinsi dan UNICEF Indonesia untuk meluncurkan program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung. Kerjasama erat kedua lembaga dilaksanakan dengan melatih para “dokter cilik” tentang cara pencegahan flu burung. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Padang mengirimkan utusan terbaiknya. Dr. Irene dari Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Sumatra Barat menjelaskan: Dengan mengembangkan program yang diujungtombaki anak-anak setempat, masyarakat jadi ikut andil. Bahkan, program pengajaran flu burung diteruskan oleh sekolah-sekolah secara mandiri.”

Bird Flu Song The MIN children’s choir sings a bird flu song describing how each day they remind their friends about the dangers of bird flu, and about how hands must be washed before every meal. They sing about the dangers of the virus to humans, about how bird flu has taken human lives all over the region, and about how any sick or dead chicken must be immediately reported.

Lagu Flu Burung Paduan suara MIN menyenandungkan lagu berisikan pesan tentang bahaya flu burung dan pentingnya cuci tangan sebelum makan.

School Play

Drama Sekolah

The 320 pupils of the school assemble neatly outside the main building in the picturesque front courtyard. Jihad, age 9 (who is one of the Dokter Kecil (‘Little Doctors’), serves as moderator for a short play that his classmates present. He begins his narration: “Once upon a time in a quaint village on the foothills of a high mountain, lived a farmer and his family, and their many chickens. One day, the chickens started dying…” Some of Jihad’s classmates, squatting low on the courtyard surface and dressed in paper chicken head hats, start collapsing dramatically onto the ground. One of the children is curled up on the floor and remains completely still, depicting a dead chicken who fell victim to bird flu. Then a few other ‘chickens’ fall dead too, and the villagers receive guidance from the heath officials on how to deal with this new crisis. They don green surgical masks and lift garden hoes, and proceed to dig a pit and bury the diseased birds deep in the ground, just outside the village. Then they return to the community and warn friends and neighbors again of the dangers of bird flu.

Di lapangan sekolah, sekitar 320 siswa berkumpul dan berbaris rapi. Seorang dokter kecil, Jihad, 9, membacakan narasi dari sebuah drama yang ditampilkan teman-temannya. Dia memulai dengan: “Pada suatu hari, di sebuah dusun di kaki gunung tinggi, hidup seorang petani dan keluarganya, dan ayamnya yang banyak jumlahnya. Tiba-tiba, ayam-ayamnya mati….” Pada saat yang sama, teman-teman Jihad yang berperan sebagai ayam, berkelepar berjatuhan ke tanah. Salah satu dari mereka berakting bak ayam mati: kaku dan tak bernafas. Tak lama kemudian, pemeran ayam lainnya melakukan akting yang sama. Petani mendapatkan instruksi dari mantri hewan tentang cara menangani ayam mati tersebut. Dia kenakan masker dan sarung tangan, segera menggali lobang dan mengubur bangkai dalam-dalam. Dan mereka sebarkan informasi ke seluruh dusun tentang bahaya flu burung.

Fun and Games

Bermain dan Bersenang-senang

Games were aso developed to help the students learn bird flu basics. The students play a special version of the board game Snakes & Ladders, they roll the dice and move across the board. One space reads “You’ve used a separate knife for slicing chicken: Advance two spaces.” Another says “Your neighbor’s chickens have died of bird flu: Give your neighbor one free sympathy egg and advance one space.” One player hits a setback: “You’ve forgotten to wash your hands – move back three spaces!”

Banyak permainan juga sengaja diciptakan untuk membantu murid belajar flu burung, salah satunya: Permainan Ular Tangga. Caranya, pemain melempar dadu dan menjalankan pin beberapa langkah sesuai angka dadu yang keluar. Mereka akan berhenti di kolom-kolom yang bertuliskan pesan pencegahan flu burung. Salah satu kolom bertuliskan: “Ayam tetangga Anda mati karena flu burung, berikan pertolongan dan maju satu langkah.” Sedangkan kolom lainnya, ada yang menjebak: “Anda lupa mencuci tangan, mundur tiga langkah.”

Then, a musical ball game, interspersed with queries by their teacher: “What do you do if someone in your village shows signs of bird flu?” she asks. “Take him to be examined at the local health clinic!” the children scream. “And what do we do with chicken eggs?” she inquires. “Only eat them if fully cooked!” the students respond.

Permainan lainnya melibatkan permainan bola tangkas yang diselingi tanya-jawab antara guru dan murid. “Apa yang dilakukan apabila ada tetanggamu yang menunjukkan gejala kena flu burung?” tanya seorang guru. ”Bawa ke puskesmas,” seru para murid. “Dan apa yang kita lakukan dengan telur ayam?” kembali Si Guru bertanya. ”Dimakan hanya kalau dimasak matang!” kembali para murid menjawab semangat.

Bird Flu Play

Drama Flu Burung

One of the key methods of passing on bird flu prevention messages to the community was through short dramas that highlighted the very real dangers of avian influenza. I Gusti Agung Ayu Chandra Devi, who played the doctor, says her parents never raised chickens but her neighbors do, and her mother had to inform them about the dangers of bird flu.

Metode yang digunakan di Bali adalah pementasan drama sekolah yang menyebarkan pesan tentang bahaya flu burung dan cara-cara pencegahannya. Dalam drama-dramanya, I Gusti Agung Ayu Chandra Devi selalu berperan sebagai dokter hewan. Perannya tersebut membuat gadis mungil ini selalu mengingatkan teman-temannya bahwa flu burung adalah penyakit berbahaya.

“It used to be pretty frightening because two women died of bird flu in Bali. But after we were given information about it, we were not so afraid anymore because we knew how to prevent it,” she says.

“Waktu dengar ada dua orang Bali yang meninggal karena flu burung, kami khawatir sekali. Tapi setelahdapat informasi, kami tidak khawatir lagi karena sudah tahu cara pencegahannya,” ujar gadis berusia 12 tahun itu.

‘Bird Flu in Our Village’ – A School Play

Drama Sekolah “Flu Burung di Desa Kami”

A boy named Lanang is playing with his friends when they see a dead chicken lying on the ground. “This could be bird flu,” says Lanang. “Remember when our teachers told us that when chickens die suddenly it could be bird flu?” he asks. “Yes, that’s right, we have to do something, tell someone. I don’t want to get bird flu,” exclaims his friend. “OK, so remember not to touch the chicken. I’m going to get my dad,” Lanang replies. Lanang dashes back to his house to get his parents and tell them about the dead chicken. Soon, a veterinarian is summoned and takes care of the chicken carcass. A man wearing gloves picks up the bird and buries it. The children watch from a distance. “Wow that was close. Some of the little kids could have touched the chicken and gotten bird flu,” says the friend. “Yeah, lucky we came along in time,” Lanang exclaims.

Seorang bocah, Lanang, sedang bermain bersama kawannya saat mereka menemukan seekor ayam mati. “Jangan-jangan kena flu burung,” kata Lanang. “Ingat kata guru kalau ada unggas mati mendadak, kemungkinan kena flu burung?” tanya Lanang kepada kawannya. “Ya, benar. Kita mesti melakukan sesuatu, kasih tahu orang-orang. Aku tidak mau kena flu burung,” sahut temannya. “OK. Ingat, jangan pegang bangkai ayam itu. Aku bilang bapak dulu,” ujar Lanang. Dia mengadu kepada ayahnya. Tak lama kemudian, seorang dokter hewan datang dan memeriksa bangkai tersebut. Seorang petugas lainnya yang bersarung tangan segera membakar dan mengubur bangkai. Anak-anak menyaksikan peristiwa itu dari jauh. “Hampir saja. Kalau tidak cepat-cepat lapor, bisa-bisa ada anak-anak lain yang memegang bangkai itu lalu kena flu burung,” ujar kawan main Lanang. “Betul sekali, beruntung kita datang di waktu yang tepat,” tukas Lanang.

My Bird My bird is sick. She isn’t fit. She’s always weak. My bird doesn’t sing. She is sneezing. I am worried that my bird will die. I can’t touch her, I can’t hold her, and I can’t kiss her… My bird has died…a victim of H5N1.

Burung kesayanganku. Burungku sakit, terlihat luyu dan lemas. Burungku tak lagi bernyanyi, bersin terus menerus. Ku takut dia akan mati. Tak dapat kusentuhnya, tak dapat kudekapnya, tak dapat kuciumnya. Burungku kini pergi selamanya…mati akibat H5N1.

Another 10 year old, Yuli Nggoek, says her grandfather has 30 chickens and she always washes her hands if she has been near them. “Someday, I’d like to tell my grandfather that the cages should be moved away from the house,” says Yuli, adding that she is trying to gain enough courage to tell him.

Siswi Naikoten lainnya, Yuli Nggoek, bercerita bahwa kakeknya memelihara 30 ayam di rumah, sehingga memaksanya harus sering-sering cuci tangan setiap menyentuh ternak kakeknya tersebut. “Suatu hari nanti, saya akan beritahu kakek untuk pindahkan kandang ayam jauh dari rumah,” tutur Yuli, yang saat ini sedang mengumpulkan keberanian untuk mengutarakan isi hatinya tersebut.

By early 2009, over 15 million children and thousands of teachers had been involved in the bird flu education program. From Aceh to Papua, students had learned the basics of how to protect themselves from the deadly virus. Indonesia was at the center of the global battle against the virus, and no other country had had more human victims. But now, its youngest citizens had the ammunition they needed.

Di awal tahun 2009, sekitar 15 juta anak dan ribuan guru telah terlibat dalam program Sekolahkau Tanggap Flu Burung. Dari Sabang sampai Merauke, para siswa telah mempelajari informasi dasar cara melindungi diri mereka dari ancaman virus H5N1. Hal ini sangat penting karena Indonesia adalah Negara dengan kasus flu burung terbanyak di dunia. Dan kini, generasi penerusnya telah memiliki amunisi dalam memerangi penyakit ini.

Although the school kit provided the ingredients for the program, it was local educators who created the recipe for success. At the same time, UNICEF field offices and their NGO partners supported the development of curriculum and lesson plans that produced creative, engaging ways to teach children bird flu basics. The result: A wide array of dynamic activities ranging from art, poems, plays and songs to science, math and religious studies. And the messages did not stay inside the school grounds; the children enthusiastically shared what they had learned with their parents, neighbors and communities.

Meskipun kehadiran paket pengajaran flu burung membantu terlaksananya program ini, namun para gurulah yang memastikan bahwa hasilnya memuaskan dan tepat sasaran. Kantor-kantor perwakilan UNICEF Indonesia di daerah beserta para mitranya telah berhasil mengembangkan kurikulum dan rencana pengajaran yang kreatif dan menarik bagi anak-anak. Hasilnya, berbagai kegiatan karya seni, seperti puisi, drama dan lagu telah tercipta dan bermacam mata pelajaran, seperti Matematika dan Agama, menjadi sarana belajar informasi baru. Pengetahuan tersebut tidak saja berputar di ruang kelas, para siswa berhasil menyebarkannya kepada orang tua, tetangga dan masyarakat mereka.

Avian influenza is endemic in much of the country. It will take time to eradicate it from this vast archipelago. But teaching children is key, so that the future generation is properly equipped for the bird flu prevention challenge.

Flu Burung sudah menjadi penyakit endemis di Indonesia. Pemusnahan total penyakit ini dari seluruh nusantara akan memakan waktu yang lama. Maka dari itu, mendidik anak-anak tentang cara-cara pencegahan adalah sangat penting untuk memastikan masa depan mereka terlindungi.

UNICEF and its NGO partners have always operated in close collaboration with health and education officials at the National, Provincial and District level. This meant that all engaged had a direct stake in the program and became personally involved.

UNICEF Indonesia dan lembaga mitranya selalu bekerjasama erat pemerintah pusat, provinsi dan kabupaten dalam melaksanakan program-programnya. Kerjasama ini memastikan bahwa semua pihak punya keterlibatan dan kepentingan agar semua program terlaksana dengan baik.

Their testimonies about the program reflect this personal commitment:

Study Tour

Studi Banding

UNICEF’s Indoensia program has attracted interest from other countries, some as far flung as Uzbekistan, which sent a group of government officials on a study tour of UNICEF Indonesia AI projects. The group was especially interested in the school program.

Program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung telah menarik perhatian dari negara-negara lain, termasuk Republik Uzbekistan, yang kemudian mengirim delegasinya untuk mempelajari program tersebut.

Kutipan pernyataan berikut adalah refleksi komitmen para aparat pemerintahan dalam menyukseskan program ini:

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Study

Studi Perubahan Perilaku

“Public communication is the main strategy for confronting bird flu in Indonesia. Children have a huge role in spreading the information, especially passing on the latest information to their family members. The school program is an excellent way to ensure the right messages are getting through to children, their families and community at large.“ Bayu Krisnamurthi, Chief Executive, KOMNAS FBPI.

“Komunikasi publik adalah strategi utama melawan flu burung di Indonesia. Anak-anak memiliki peran penting dalam menyebarkan informasi kepada anggota keluarganya. Program sekolah ini adalah cara jitu untuk memastikan tersampaikannya pesan yang tepat kepada anak-anak, keluarga mereka dan masyarakat luas,” komentar Dr. Bayu Krisnamurthi, ketua pelaksana harian Komnas FBPI.

The overall goal of the program is not just to impart knowledge but to get children to actually practice the messages. In order to assess this, UNICEF conducted a series of KAP studies to monitor the effectiveness of the program (although there were other communication initiatives related to AI.) This study spoke to actual school pupils and their teachers. The study was conducted in 2008 and compared findings to data compiled in 2007.

Program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung dirumuskan bukan hanya untuk menyebarkan pesan-pesan pencegahan, namun juga meyakinkan anak-anak untuk melakukan pesan-pesan tersebut. Di tahun 2008, UNICEF Indonesia melakukan penelitian perubahan perilaku yang dikenal dengan Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Study untuk mengukur kesuksesan program ini. Survei dilakukan kepada guru dan siswa di seluruh negeri dan membandingkan hasilnya dengan hasil studi perilaku di tahun 2007.

“We are committed to doing everything we can to protect our children from bird flu, and teachers play a significant role in this. That’s why we support UNICEF’s program by training selected teachers from CLCC schools in 35 Districts to help them integrate the kit into their regular curriculum.” Kunto Nugroho, Provincial Education Chief, Central Java.

“Kami bertekad melakukan apapun untuk melindungi anak-anak dari ancaman flu burung, dan peran guru sangat penting. Oleh karena itu, kami sangat mendukung program UNICEF ini dengan melatih guru-guru terpilih dari sekolah-sekolah MBS di 35 kabupaten/kota dalam rangka membantu mereka mengintegrasikan paket pengajran flu burung kedalam kurikulum,” ucap Kunto Nugroho, kepala Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi Jawa Tengah.

Key Results:

“Sebuah program yang sangat bagus sekali…menyediakan informasi penting terkini pada para guru, dan dari laporan yang kami terima, pihak sekolah kini tetap melanjutkan program tersebut dengan mandiri,” tutur Noerdin Efendi, dari dinas peternakan Provinsi Sumatera Utara.

The study also looked at how students felt about the AI kit itself:

“A very good program…it provides crucial information to students through their teachers, and according to our monitoring results, schools continue using the program on their own.” Noerdin Efendi, Veterinary Health Chief, North Sumatra province. “The best time to impart knowledge is when a person is young, during the early stages of their development. This program provides excellent direction for children and their families. We are committed to continuing this strong program in the future.” Dr Irene, Head of Disease Prevention and Eradication, West Sumatra Health Department.

Good Practice Review

Analisa Keberhasilan Program

In 2008, UNICEF acquired the services of an independent consultant to review and analyze the school program. The following is an excerpt from that report.

Di tahun 2008, UNICEF Indonesia mengundang seorang konsultan independen untuk mengkaji dan menganalisa program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung. Berikut adalah kutipan hasil laporan kajian dan analisa konsultan tersebut:

The efficiency with which the program has been shown to transmit avian influenza related messages to the household level is encouraging provincial governments to find the relatively low level of funding required to sustain and expand the program by enabling already trained facilitators to train further teachers. All the lessons observed have obviously been fun for the children who have been singing songs, creating and reciting poems, enacting dramas they have created, playing games and painting pictures. The teachers also appear to enjoy delivering the classes, and to have a role to play in reducing the incidence of what is widely perceived as a serious threat to human and poultry health.

Efisiensi perluasan pesan-pesan pencegahan Flu Burung lewat program sekolah ini membuat banyak Pemerintah Daerah menganggarkan dana untuk melatih lebih banyak guru dan memperbanyak sekolah Tanggap Flu Burung. Semua kegiatan pengajaran Flu Burung menyenangkan buat para siswa SD karena memungkinkan mereka bernyanyi, menulis dan membacakan puisi, mementaskan drama, bermain dan menggambar berbagai hal yang berkaitan dengan Flu Burung. Para guru juga menikmati pelajaran ini karena mereka berhasil memainkan peran penting dalam menurunkan kasus penularan Flu Burung di Indonesia.

In some areas particularly, the avian influenza school program integrates well with other programs such as those related to general hand washing. The avian influenza program, for example, has resulted in new hand-washing facilities being provided at some schools. The program provides a means to reach the most remote communities. It also provides the background knowledge that can serve as a foundation for messaging related to pandemic preparedness and other health issues associated with infectious disease.

Di beberapa daerah, program Sekolahku Tanggap Flu Burung terintegrasi secara alamiah dengan kampanye promosi cuci tangan. Program ini, telah mendorong terciptanya banyak fasilitas cuci tangan di sekolah-sekolah di seluruh Indonesia. Program ini menyediakan sarana untuk menyampaikan pesan pencegahan Flu Burung ke anggota-anggota masyarakat yang terpencil dan terisolasi. Program ini sekaligus menyebarluaskan pemahaman tentang pandemi dan resiko penyakit-penyakit menular lainnya.
