ABOUT SCORP “We are committed to promoting Human Rights and Peace and as future health care professionals we work towards empowering and improving the health of refugees and other vulnerable people.”

SCORP (Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace) is one of six standing committee of CIMSA (Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities). CIMSA works in many different fields on health including Reproductive Health & AIDS, Public Health, Medical Education, Research Exchange, Professional Exchange and Human Rights and Peace. SCORP is the standing committee that coordintaes all activities of CIMSA that are related to Human Rights and Peace such as Galaksi Tab (Galakan Aksi Tanggap Bencana), CIMSA‘s Humanitarian Response Team (CHRT) as well as many campaigns; International Day of Peace, Human Rights Day, International Women’s Day and Earth Hour. There are four SCORP’s workfields, they are refugee’s health, the right to health, vulnerable people, and disaster management. Firstly, SCORP was known as SCOR or Standing Comitte on Refugees. Because of its concern towards peace, then SCOR was changed to SCORP or Standing Comittee on Refugees and Peace. But then, SCORP realized that we should fight towards human rights violations. Once again SCORP changed its name, still SCORP but the word Refugees was changed into Human Rights, then voila, it became the SCORP name nowadays, Standing Comittee on Human Rights and Peace.

ACTION 2017 13


Asian Collaborative Training on Infectious Disease Outbreaks, Natural Disasters, and Refugee Management Surabaya, Indonesia Larasati Citra Ayu Ramadhani

ACTION, is the abbreviation of Asian Collaborative Training on Infectious Disease Outbreaks, Natural Disasters, and Refugee Management is a transnational project, held by SCORP IFMSA in the Asia-Pacific Region. Its aim is to provide essential knowledge and skills required to prevent, relieve, and rehabilitate victims of natural disasters and infectious diseases, to medical students in the region. This year is the 12th time of ACTION since its first on 2004. This is also the 3rd time for Indonesia to have an honor as the hosting country. The event took place on August 21-27 in Surabaya, consisting of some lectures, outdoor simulation, workshops and field trip. This year, the organizing committee chose the theme of “Infectious Diseases Related to

14

Disaster�. Because disasters do not only cause loss of life and infrastructures damage, but it also cause a lot of harm to the survivors, including infectious diseases that eventually can lead to death. In the event of disaster, the daily life of survivors, including their foods and water, hygiene and sanitation, are at a high risk of contamination with pathogens, especially if the disasters took place in an endemic area of infectious diseases. By taking this theme for ACTION 2017, we hope that medical students, especially in Asia Pacific region who has a high prevalence of infectious disease, can learn more and therefore will gain more skills in the event of disaster and infectious disease. On the first day in the morning


the OCs picked the delegates up and took the delegates directly to Universitas Airlangga to have the welcoming session and play some Indonesian games around the campus area such as kuda bisik, pipa kelereng and so much more. They also spent the night enjoying live music and singing along together at the Welcome Party. The next day, they got two lectures from Department of Anesthesiology FM Unair about “Disaster Risk Reduction” and “Disaster Management” followed by a General Emergency Life Support workshop. During the workshop, the delegates learned how to safe people’s life in the term of emergency, they also learned how to use the splint to traumatic patients. Beside the academic schedule, they also learned about Indonesian culture: membatik session. Each of the delegates given a scarf sized batik to be decorated and colored by they own creativity. The following day, the delegates were taken to the Institute of Tropical Disease, a research center inside the Universitas Airlangga. They strolled around the laboratories of some infectious diseases, they were also

explained about how the machine works and learned through the scientific posters. In the evening, they experienced of kite making and also how to make the kite flies. After dinner, the delegates tried some jajanan on the night market nearby. The delegates’ enthusiasm raised when they were having the infectious disease lecture by dr. Sustini and dr. Musofa. It may caused by the unique ethiology and epidemiology of the disease and the treatment required to solve they did not know before. After lunch, the OC’s and delegates gathered and played together inside the hall, they threw a ball to each other while a dangdut music played in background, it was full of joy and laughter. The last session of that day was country presentation by each delegates, they showed the problem faced by each countries especially the infectious disease and disasters. On Friday, all the delegates were taken to Bhumi Marinir to have the disaster simulation arranged by MARINIR and BPBD. The first simulation is water simulation, they were trained how to keep survive even if they are in the middle of a sea of nowhere.

15


And the second simulation is the real disaster simulation which they were grouped into some small groups: command post, medical team, information center, rapid response team, field kitchen and group of victims. The scenario of the simulation was a flood in a regency in East Java due to high rain intensity. Everyone was so excited during the simulation. They were taught to use the real handy talky, to write a real disaster report, to ride a TRC’s motorcycle, they also tried to cook the real special food that produced for the disaster victims provided by BPBD. The sixth day, Prof. Dr. dr. Kuntaman M.S. Sp.MK(K). as a member of Antimicrobial Resistance Control Committee gave a lecture about “Antimicrobial Resistance” including how to prevent antimicrobial resistance

towards disaster victims. On that day, the delegates were also experiencing the atmosphere of working inside the microbiology laboratory to try Ziehl-Neelsen staining and examine TB’s suspected sputum. In the end of the day, is the most awaited session, country fair and farewell party. The session opened by the mesmerizing Tari Saman from Saman FK UNAIR. Then the delegates were going around the hall to visit each country’s booth and try some traditional food such as Baklava from Turkey and Plum Juice from India. Delegates from each county also had to perform on the stage, some of them danced, some other sang and many more. After all the performances, all the delegates and OC’s took a picture together as a goodbye photo. The last but not least, on Sunday,

the delegates who join the Social Program were departed to Lombok for 3 days. The other delegates joined the city tour explored some museums and landmarks around Surabaya City. The journey was officially ended at A CafĂŠ House of Sampoerna as we finished our Indonesian lunch. ACTION 2017 leaves an unforgettable memory, for OCs and delegates. We hope that everything we learned during the event not only memorable, but also useful and can be applied for reducing the disaster risk around the world! (laras)

THE ROHINGYA CRISIS SCORP CIMSA UGM Bendita M. S. Budiman In our era today, the numbers of human rights issues have been raising international concerns as it is happening all over the globe, may it be human trafficking, or racial discrimination, or even modern day slavery. But in these past few months, news about the tragedy inflicted towards the Rohingya minority of Myanmar started circulating back in the media, though the reality is, this despicable act has been going on for decades. The Rohingya community is one of the ethnic groups of Myanmar (then called Burma), residing in the Rakhine state. What makes them different is that, unlike other ethnic communities living in the nation, the Muslim minority are denied citizenship. When a person is granted citizenship of a country, they are also granted the rights of said country. In Rohingya’s case, they are stripped from their basic human rights, such as their rights to health services, employment, education, and also their right to vote. Their condition also increases their vulnerability because they are not entitled to any legal protection from the government. But it didn’t use to be the way it is for the Rohingya people back then. It was to be said that after Myanmar’s independence from the British, the Rohingya people, as well as other ethnic communities, were recognized as indigenous ethnic nationality of

Myanmar, with members working in the government as representatives, ministers, and other high-ranking positions. But since the military coup in 1962, situations turned for the worst for the Rohingya community. The authorities of the predominant Buddhist nation saw the minority group as a threat to nationalist identity, and so they started to change their behavior towards them, becoming more hostile. They also closed Rohingya social and political organizations. Furthermore, the minority endured forced labor, arbitrary detention, and physical assaults. With the popular belief among the nation’s people and authorities being that Rohingya are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, they endure discrimination and is excluded in The Citizenship Act of Myanmar, executed in 1982, which requires that a person’s ancestors belong to a national race or group present in Myanmar prior to the British rule in 1823, to become a citizen. Many Rohingya rights activists argued that they have been a part of the nation before the British came, but sadly the Rohingya are still classified as illegal immigrants allowed in by British colonizers. Their exception from the law ultimately leads to a state of “statelessness”, as have been mentioned earlier. Even today, the Rohingya still remains the single largest stateless community in the world. Oppression against the Rohingya

by the Burmese Army has taken many forms throughout the decades; most of them involve blood being shed in the streets, without forgetting the act of torture and rape. Numerous members of the minority groups have reported that even massacres have taken place in their villages or camps, with government soldiers raiding and burning down their homes. Women, children, and the elderly hold no exception from these persecutions. The vile actions against them have forced more than 100,000 Rohingya people to flee their homes and enter a dangerous journey to seek refuge in their northern neighbor, Bangladesh. A recent violent outbreak took place in August when Rohingya militants attacked government forces, which had been claimed by the

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army or ARSA. In response, the Burmese Army, supported by Buddhist citizen soldiers, launched a “clearance operation” against the insurgency. The aftermath was horrid, as thousands were killed. Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, a UN official, said that this situation, Myanmar’s treatment towards the Rohingya minority, is a “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing. Facing claims of crimes against humanity for army attacks on the Muslim minority, the government has sought to severely restrict access to Rakhine for aid groups and the media, however, as of today, the Rohingya still rely heavily on humanitarian aids provided by neighboring countries and humanitarian organizations. Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese leader,

19

has yet to condemn these anti-Rohingya violent acts, denying the accusations of the ethnic cleansing, saying that even though the Muslims are targeted, the Buddhists have also been subjected to violence. She also spoke of how there are fear on both sides, and the reactions of the Buddhists towards the Muslims are based on fear on a 2013 interview.

20

After all the news reports on what’s been happening in Rakhine, the hardships the Muslim Rohingya minority have to brave, and the international efforts to lend a hand despite the Burmese government, are we really going to turn our backs on the Rohingya? Just because there’s not a war, doesn’t mean there’s peace. (bendita)

PEACE, ROHINGYA, AND RACIAL VIOLENCE SCORP CIMSA INDONESIA

September 21th is commemorated as the International Day of Peace. The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution and declared to “commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and people”. On September 17th until 21th CIMSA Indonesia celebrated International Day of Peace. Different types of celebration were taken by different parties

24


since January 2017, thousands of them ran across to Bangladesh, and the remaining flee across the sea to reach Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand. The total number of Rohingya refugees and internally displaced Rohingya in the region is estimated at 420.000 and 120.00 respectively. This tragedy must become a remorse that is taken as a turning point from our silence to an act against the violence and injustice, not the evildoers, because in terms of a conflict, both side are victims of their own actions and intentions which has been wronged by one facet of life. The negativity caused by those events must be confronted with a bigger positive impact. The celebration was held in Indonesia. To commemorate the international day of peace, CIMSA invites all people around the world to donate to kitabisa.com/CIMSABantuRohingya as an act of solidarity, not only that, CIMSA Indonesia also held a social media campaign followed by the locals community, such as using twibbon with hashtag #InternationalDayofPeace and #CIMSABantuRohingya and the twibbon were available for download on bit.ly/TwibbonIDoP2017. In addition, CIMSA Bantu Rohingya crowdfunding, being held with the campaign of International Day of Peace 2017 last september, was able to succesfully bring about donation collected IDR 26.374.350 routed already to Bangladesh Medical Student’s society.

INTERNATIONAL

to celebrate this day, including SCORP CIMSA Indonesia. As a human rights activist organization, we celebrated each year with various themes. This year, our theme was “Enforcing Peace Against Racial Violence”. We chose this theme because of the awareness of the tragedy happening recently in Rakhine, Myanmar, a coercive and aggressive violence toward particular racial group. The conflict has caused 92.000 refugees

POWER RANGER by CIMSA UNEJ

Annisa Nadhifa Witanto, Anita Widaad T Hello CIMSA! This time we will give you a project report from SCORP CIMSA UNEJ. This project is called POWER RANGER. Is the title interesting enough to make you curious? if you want to know more about power ranger and what we do, go read this report below! POWER RANGER is short for Empowering Children Eradicating Occupational Disease in Jember. The reason why we do this project is because the number of child labor in agricultural sector in Jember is very high, especially in the tobacco industry. There are children who work because they help their parents, some also become casual workers who deal

directly with the company, whether private companies or state companies (PTPN). Even some of them chose to quit school and fill their days by working in agriculture. This phenomenon should not be allowed, because as a child they should get their right of education. This phenomenon of child labor in the agricultural sector in Jember has ever been highlighted by the ILO. According to ILO's research in an area in Jember (2007), about education of child workers, children who did not continue elementary school accounted for 85 % from 95 children who have attended school, child workers who go to junior high schoolas much as 13 %, while those who achieve high school

26


education only 2 %. This phenomenon occurs due to a variety of reasons, one of them is because this type of work does not require special skills and widely available in almost all locations of plantations and tobacco industry in Jember. But the most reason comes from the economic factor, most of them have a lack of financial condition so they have trouble fulfilling their daily needs, because of that their parents are forced to let their children work to improve their financial condition. Other factors are due to inadequate school quality and low awareness of the importance of education in rural areas. This causes the interest of some of them to go to school to decline and arise a mindset “I better working than go to school because I can earn money". As we know, working in agriculture sector has a variety of dangerous risk factors such as

exposure to high temperatures, pesticides, and organic dust. Working in agriculture often also requires long hours and the use of heavy and dangerous machine tools. These dangerous risk factors can have a negative impact on adults, but can you imagine what will happen to the children? Moreover, some of them do not use APD (Alat Pelindung Diri) while working, that's why their risk factors of occupational disease are high. Our goals in this event are to improve the knowledge of 7-15 year olds children in Jelbuk village about hygiene and occupational safety health, also increase their excitement to continue studying. We try to instil the mindset to them about the importance of education for their future, so we can prevent them from entering the workforce. We plan to do 5 interventions until the end of the year against

27


the target. Actually the target is children, but because they are still small and parents factor so influential, so we decided to give intervention to their parents as well, about safety and the importance of education for their children. In this project we are working with social communities called YPSM (Yayasan Prakarsa Swadaya Masyarakat). YPSM is a community that is implementing similar projects that are still being implemented up to now, but focusing more on children's education. They held a non-formal school for children there every Saturday afternoon in a shelter. On October 7, 2017 yesterday, we made our first intervention. The purpose of this activity is to bond with the community. We started out by being acquainted and playing with the kids in the shelter house, along with the

non-formal school that held by YPSM. After that, we visit the residents/parents there by door to door, also to inform that we will implement a sustainable project in this region. The location of this project is in the area near the mountains, the distance between houses is a bit far, so we divided ourselves into several groups and came to the houses one by one. Our second intervention is planned to be on 21 October 2017. The second intervention agenda is to conduct free medical tests for parents and children, and conduct a primary assessment about their knowledge and awareness about their health, work safety, and the importance of education. So, I think that's all report about our project this time. Wait for us in the next project report, guys. See you later!

SPORADIST

SCORP Preparing Disaster Management Responsive Team by CIMSA UNAND Refi Amalia U., Yunia Habsari Hello CIMSA! We would like to introduce you to one of SCORP CIMSA UNAND project named SPORADIST. SPORADIST is a Community Development by SCORP CIMSA UNAND with aim to learn about pre-disaster stage. Let’s check this one out! Did you know that the disaster in 1982 - 2012 has caused 225,509 people lost and died? The victims were caused by various types of disasters, with the highest number of casualties was earthquake and tsunami, which is 174.101 people. (BNPB, 2012) In Indonesia there are 28 region areas prone to earthquake and tsunami, and West Sumatra including one of them with score 86 disaster risk index (including high risk class of disaster) (Indonesia Disaster Risk Index (IRBI), 2013). In the last 9 years, West Sumatra

was shaken 5 times by large earthquake with scale above 6 on the Richter scale and have took the lives of approximately 1584 casualties. (Data BPBD West Sumatra). The lack of awareness to prepare disaster which ensures the independence of mobilization of community resources for disaster preparedness is one of the reasons behind the weakness in emergency preparedness and emergency response on facing disaster independent and proactive. (National Plan for Disaster Management 2015 2019). Therefore, SCORP CIMSA UNAND promotes SPORADIST as a pre-disaster mitigation effort, focusing on disaster mitigation. By empowering and establishing the Disaster Management Responsive Team from SMPN 4

29


Padang, we hope this project can increase knowledge and preparedness of SMPN 4 Padang students in facing earthquake and tsunami, also to prevent the high number of victims due to earthquake and tsunami, and minimize the possibility of refugee rights violation. SPORADIST also supports The Vision of the 2015 - 2019 Disaster Management Policy that Makes a Tough Nation Dealing with Disaster, 13 points 13.1 SDGs that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity against hazards related to climate and natural disasters in all countries and CIMSA's Environment Sustainability. SPORADIST has implemented with Training, Pre-Intervention and 3 times Intervention. On Saturday, August 19th 2017, SCORP CIMSA

UNAND has completed SPORADIST Training. In this training, SCORP CIMSA UNAND members were given explanations on the Basic of School Disaster by the Prevention and Preparedness Department of BPBD West Sumatra, Mr. Rumainur, SE, and also explanation for the First Emergency Relief by Hippocrates Emergency Team (HET) BEM KM FK UNAND. The training aims to make SCORP CIMSA UNAND members ready and steady to share their knowledge to the candidate of Disaster Management Responsive Team in SMPN 4 Padang. In the 1st intervention on September 9th 2017, the Candidate of Disaster Management Responsive Team was given explanation about Disaster Mitigation and First

Emergency Relief theories by SCORP CIMSA UNAND members. The explanation was given through discussions and quizzes. After the explanation was provided, in the 2nd Intervention on September 10th 2017, First Emergency Relief Practice and also Capacity Building were held in the form of Leadership, Team Building and Public Speaking materials to the candidates by CIMSA UNAND Trainer and Member SCORP UNAND. The aim of this intervention are to prepare the team with soft skills as a peer educator and to form a solid team in the organization so that it can be the independent team. Activities continued with interesting games to enhance teamwork as well as bonding strategy between potential teams and closer relationship with the Member of SCORP CIMSA UNAND. Before the last intervention, SCORP CIMSA UNAND members help SPORADIST teams in preparing educational explanation and roleplay to prepare the last intervention. And before this pre- intervention, SCORP CIMSA UNAND members assisted by BPBD West Sumatera Province who has developed SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) Simulation which has discussed to the school. So when the simulation takes place, all participant (include SPORADIST team, classroom administrator and school manager) did the simulation guided by the SOP. In the last intervention, we do the simulation of the earthquake and tsunami and follows the tsunami’s evacuation route to the temporary

evacuation site (Grand Zuri Hotel) guided by SPORADIST Team, SCORP CIMSA UNAND member and school manager. The simulation begins with disaster mitigation explanation by SPORADIST Team, then there was simulation of earthquake & tsunami, and some education from SPORADIST Team about mitigation is given to the classroom administrator. Based on the discussions with BPBD West Sumatra Province, administrators of the class should lead their friends in case of disaster, because they were the closest people to the students in class and always be in the classroom. So it is more effective compared with teachers who teach not only in 1 classroom. SPORADIST Team also prepared with SPORADIST guideline containing explanation during SPORADIST in progress, it is expected to use as a guide in running the program to be implemented. Furthermore, there will be regular follow up on the SPORADIST team work program directly through the school. Finally, SPORADIST was ended with SPORADIST Team inauguration and keepsake for SMPN 4 Padang as an appreciation for the willingness to do the simulation, and help assisting SPORADIST's continuity. Hopefully SPORADIST Team will keep going on sharing more knowledge about disaster mitigation, so everybody in SMPN 4 Padang will be pro-active and independent when disaster occurs.

LOLLIPOP!

Let’s Stop Bullying, People! by SCORP CIMSA UNS Safrilia Syifa

“Strong people stand up from themselves. But the strongest people stand up for others.”

Bullying must be imagined as a group of "strong" people oppressing our weak friend. Bullying must be familiar in our ears and to this day too many of our friends are still overshadowed by the impact of this bullying. We can see, ranging from college, high school, junior, and even elementary school that there are already many victims that are byproduct from this bullying. Schools that are said to be a place to learn and build a person's character for the better, become a prison and a very scary place for some people. What worse is this form of violence is not just physical. Bullying has become an integral part of the lives of children today. The rise of violence or bullying by students in schools more and more packing a row of news on the page print

32


and electronic media. Not a few cases of bullying in the country that caused trauma, injury, even to take the lives. Sometimes these bullies do not realize that this behavior is bad for the development of the soul of the victim. Violence at school is like an iceberg phenomenon that appears to the surface only a small part of it. The problem will continue to recur, if not done properly and continuously from the root of the problemIt is necessary to think about the risks that a child is, and then can find a way out for him chain that is endless. Collective commitment and concrete actions to prevent bullying in schools are required. Therefore, SCORP CIMSA UNS initiated a small step by holding the project LOLLIPOP! (Let's Stop Bullying,

Browse!). The project is obliged to educate elementary students about anti-bullying. This project was conducted two interventions, the first was counseling and the second was bonding with elementary school children and a poster-making competition was also held on anti-bullying. This project chooses target of elementary school children because elementary school children are still very young and still very easy to be formed, they are also very quick to learn, if they have done acts of violence since the early what will become when will later be the next generation of this nation? Then, why is there a poster competition? The content of this poster can be an indicator of success or failure of this project.

PELITA BUMI by CIMSA UNPAD

Stevan SitompuL, Sonia Fitriani

Flooding is the most prevalent disaster in Indonesia. According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Indonesia, the number of floods in Indonesia around 30% and West Java is an area that is often hit by the disaster. Many factors influence it, both from natural and non-natural factors. One crucial factor but can still be improved is the cleanliness of the environment. Disposable garbage disposal especially in waterways can cause clogged waterways, this can be a risk factor that increases the prevalence of flooding. Currently, garbage is the main problem of the village in Jatinangor where there is still no temporary waste disposal site. Therefore, waste processing in the village of Jatinangor

is still so bad that people choose to throw garbage carelessly or by way of burning in the land that he thinks is empty. The effects are also very bad like so many garbage scattered everywhere like in empty field, empty house, ditch, etc. And also, some of the garbage piles are burning. Due to the amount of garbage scattered and piled up, there was a blockage of one ditch in the village of Cintamulya which caused the flooding of each rain. Effect caused by the flood is the very severe traffic jam from the direction of Jatinangor to Garut. Apart from the flood, there are also many combustion fumes that are very dangerous for breathing due to waste treatment that is still burned. This time SCORP CIMSA FK UNPAD comes back with a new face

34


and look more interesting and better intervention from previous years. Pelita Bumi 2017 is a project implemented by SCORP CIMSA FK UNPAD considering the high level of flood in West Java. This project was implemented in Cintamulya RW 10 Village after SCORP members conducted an assessment and saw the high number of floods that occurred in the village and the lack of understanding of the people on the proper and proper waste processing. Residents also said that there is still a lot of garbage in the ditch which makes the gutters in the village clogged. The project was implemented three times intervention on 16, 17, and 23 September 2017. For the ultimate goal of decreasing the prevalence of floods that occurred in the village of Cintamulya, especially when the rainy season comes. And also for the village Cintamulya can look cleaner and more beautiful. This project works together with the Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI), which is a trainer and provides information on waste management. Previously members of SCORP did upgrading about waste and its good and correct management by WALHI. Then the member is trained to create a vertical garden is a way of

utilizing used bottles instead of potted plants. In addition to its impact on waste reduction, vertical gardens are suitable for people who want to grow crops but have problems with inadequate spaces. On the first day, the villagers were questioned in advance about where the waste has gone. After asking some residents, actually residents already know enough about garbage, for example the division between organic and non-organic waste, but still reluctant people to separate the garbage. Then the residents were given education about clean environment and prevention of flood. Citizens are also taught how to create a vertical garden facilitated by SCORP member CIMSA FK UNPAD. Villagers look responsive and happy with the method being taught. Dare to get dirty is good. Yes, that was what villagers and SCORP did on the second day. Both are together to go straight to the field to clean up the village. Having previously looked at and confirmed some of the points that became the source of the problem,residents and SCORP members cleaned and transported the garbage to be disposed of in the final landfill. The village

Cintamulya looks cleaner and better afterwards. The clogged waterways that are the main cause of the flood have returned smoothly. Then the activity continued with 'ngeliwet' with the residents. This is done in addition to fatigue after work is also to bring closer citizens with members SCORP CIMSA FK UNPAD. For the third day of the intervention as well as its peak day, we held a folk feast held in the village. Both residents and SCORP members perform entertaining performances. In addition to the appearance, a talk show about the clean environment, waste management, and vertical garden. Residents seemed enthusiastic listening to the

talk show. The festivities were held lively until late at night. This third day became our last day but not our last intervention in Cintamulya Village. Going forward SCORP CIMSA FK UNPAD will follow up regularly and continuously. It is hoped that after a series of events, people can be more sensitive to the surrounding environment. Also for the future, after several months of intervention, citizens can become examples and become "teachers" for other villages in terms of waste processing as well as good flood prevention. So it was a story from us. Wait for our story again in our next exciting project. Pelita Bumi 2017? Peduli lingkungan, cinta bumi!
