It's me again.
4 days have passed by since my leave to Kediri. And let me tell you that those days were great!
I arrived in the village 8 July 2008. The first day we (i and students from Indonesa, Korea, Japan, Hongkong and Netherland)done almost nothing actually.All students went to Head of the subvillage Plosolanang and introduced by him to some of the people in the village and we took the students to their homes. After that 4 student (and myself) drove to the head of The Village (Gambyok) house and introduced ourselves. Minimun English plus Tarzan language done pretty much of the conversation. I became the main translator.
The second day, we're gather around and show the Indonesian plans. And we went to surveyed the village. It's hot and dusty days, i can see the shock in their eyes about the weather and village condition but they manage not to exposed it and complain about it. The funny thing was, there's a crazy woman that followed us everywhere, the foreigners think she was pretty funny and treat her casually. The creepy part came when the crazy woman put out a knife and starting to peel a mango in front all of us. Everyone getting little bit scare and decide to stay away. Our first survey was to elementary and kindergarten school. The condition was dirty and lack of convinience.We've planned to renovate it, give some colors and pictures to it. And after that we went along the little river and the brink of the paddy fields. Despite the heat, everyone looked amazed.
When we returned to Pak Kepala Dusun house, tense rising in. The Indonesian Student's steps in planning were slow, and the Dutch think it's too slow. The Korean had a tight schedule that had to be performed, and we have to follow them also. The Hongkong and Japanese student had no fix plans, they just following the conversation. Actually the Dutch, with their quick wit managed to improve the speed of the planning.
The Third day, planning again and sending the proposal to the headquarters in the city. While 2 Indonesian student went to the city, the rest of the student watched the Posyandu service in Pak Kepala Dusun house, they're once again amazed with the process and condition. After that they have a free time, while the Indonesian fixed the proposal that was returned by the headquaters. At noon the Korean went to other village to perform their Music instrument , Samoyuri (if i'm not mistake in writing it) until 5 in the evening. At night the Dutch watch the Circumcision Event (Khitanan) that was held by one of the villagers.They think it's great experience and they felt honored by it.
The third night was a catastrophe. After a meeting (musyawarah) with the representatives of the village, all students went to their homes, except the Indonesian. Three students were sick. I think because of the harvest time air (polluted by the dust from paddy) and extreme weather (hot at noon and cold at night), almost all of them in my house. I, forced to act as their mother (gosh, and i even haven't got any boyfriend). Early in the morning (01.30 WIB) after i called them, people from headquarter arrived to check the sick students.
The fourth day, a free time day. Cause all plans have been agreed upon the day before.In the morning they all woke up almost late at noon cause they were tired and reviving from the sickness. At 11.00 they gathered around and play some games, funny games. I returned to Surabaya at 2 in the afternoon.
I believe i can leave them all in peace, cause they have known each other pretty well.
Well, one positive thing is i get to learn Korean language, straight from the natives. Joaheyo!
