Anak-anak yang Gembira

Kebahagiaan anak-anak sekolah adalah ketika mereka bisa pergi ke sekolah untuk belajar dan bertemu dengan teman-teman.

Keadaan SD Cibeureum dengan kurangnya tenaga guru membuat murid-murid perlu belajar mandiri di sekolah tanpa kehadiran guru di kelas. Bagi mereka cukup ketika guru datang ke kelas mereka untuk memberikan tugas dan kembali untuk memeriksa tugas mereka.

Diberikan kesempatan untuk membaca buku-buku cerita di teras sekolah bersama teman-teman. Saling bergantian membaca atau saling berkelompok membuat contoh proyek yang dicontohkan buku. Tidak ada hari tanpa membaca, karena buku adalah jendela dunia.

Happy Students

The happiness of students is when they can go to school to study and meet school mates.

SD Cibeureum’s situation with the lack of teachers makes students need to learn independently in school without the presence of a teacher in class. For them it is enough when the teacher comes to their class to give an assignment and return to check their assignment.

Given the opportunity to read story books on the porch with friends is to fill their study time. Taking turns reading or grouping each other makes examples of projects that are exemplified by books. There is no day without reading, because books are a window to the world.

Memperbaiki Jembatan

Desa Cibening punya dua jembatan, kedua jembatan itu dipakai masyarakat untuk menyeberangi sungai Cibening. Kedua jembatan itu dibangun dengan dana pemerintah daerah, dana desa dan dana masyarakat serta sumbangan dari Goldteak. Karena jumlah uang yang terkumpul tidak banyak maka perbaikan jembatan selalu berulang.

Kondisi jembatan itu rusak bergantian dan diperbaiki juga bergantian. Akses menuju desa Cibening dari jalan raya Bantargadung ke dalam desa hanya satu yaitu melalui jembatan tersebut. Sehingga ketika jembatan itu rusaka maka banyak aktivitas yang tidak bisa dilaksanakan karena kendaraan roda empat tidak bisa masuk ke dalam desa.

Kali ini, salah satu jembatan baru selesai diperbaiki setelah beberapa kali gagal karena gangguan hujan dan air sungai yang deras menggerus dinding fondasi. Hujan yang turun hampir setiap hari juga membuat pekerjaan tidak bisa selesai cepat.

Gotong royong dan kebersamaan penduduk desa dan pekerja Goldteak, akhirnya bisa menyelesaikan pekerjaan perbaikan jembatan tersebut. Diharapkan, penduduk desa bisa melanjutkan aktivitas-aktivitas yang pernah tertunda. Goldteak juga bisa mengundang para investor untuk berkunjung ke kebun Goldteak.

The Bridge

Cibening village has two bridges, both are used by the community to enter the village or to reach the main road. The bridges were built with regional government funds, village funds and community funds also from Goldteak’s donation or contribution. When the bridges are broken, people try to repair them step by step because the money collected was not enough to fix in one time.

Since the bridges are very important access for the villagers, when one of the bridge is broken, it will create problems for them. They can not transport their crops to the markets or they can not bring in fertilizer or their daily need in big quantity because they have to use motorcycles to transport their goods.

This time, one of the bridges had just been repaired after several failed attempts due to the landslides during heavy rains. The river was over loaded and eroded the bridge foundation. People had to stop working when it was raining, so it took longer to finish the bridge. After more than two months, finally the bridge was completely repaired.

Villagers worked hand in hand and Goldteak’s guardians joined them on Fridays (when they are off) to fix the bridge. Every one is happy now because they can do their daily activities in or out of the village.

No Comments on Dukungan Goldteak untuk Murid

Sekolah Dasar Cibeuerem masih perlu tambahan guru, karena saat ini hanya ada tiga orang guru saja untuk mengajar 78 murid untuk 6 kelas. Guru-guru dan murid-murid selalu bersemangat pergi ke sekolah, walaupun hari hujan mereka tetap datang dan belajar bersama.

Seorang guru harus mengajar dua kelas setiap hari, kadang-kadang ketika salah seorang guru mendapat tugas untuk menghadiri rapat kerja di luar sekolah, maka seorang guru harus mengajar tiga kelas pada hari itu. Guru dan murid selalu bekerja sama, mereka mengerti sebagian dari mereka harus belajar mandiri ketika gurunya sedang mengajar di kelas lain.

Apabila tugas yang diberikan guru sudah selesai dan mereka masih memiliki waktu, maka mereka mencari buku-buku bacaan pemberian dari Goldteak. Mereka akan membaca bersama-sama karena jumlah buku yang terbatas. Mereka biasanya membaca bersama di teras sekolah.

Kunjungan kali ini ada yang istimewa, selain Goldteak memberi beberapa buku cerita baru dan permen tetapi mereka juga menerima susu kotak pemberian ibu Niken. Ada beberapa anak-anak yang belum bersekolah bergabung dengan para murid, mereka datang karena mereka ingin ikut serta di dalam kegiatan CSR Goldteak.

Supports from Goldteak

Cibeuerem Elementary School still needs additional teachers, because currently there are only three teachers to teach 78 students for six grades. The teachers and students are always eager to go to school, even though they still come and study together on a rainy day.

A teacher must teach two classes every day, sometimes when one teacher gets an assignment to attend a work meeting outside the school, then a teacher must teach three classes on that day. The teachers and students always work together, they understand that some of them have to learn independently when the teacher is teaching in another class.

When the assignment given by the teacher is finished and they still have time, then they look for the reading books or story books given by Goldteak. They will read together because of the limited number of books. They usually read together on the school porch.

This time, there was a special visit, besides Goldteak giving some new story books and sweets but they also received milk given by ibu Niken from PT Petrolink. There are some younger children who are not yet in school joining the activity, they come because they want to participate in Goldteak’s CSR program.

Melihat kebun Jati dari kejauhan nampak berwarna kecoklatan, karena musim panas membuat daun-daun Jati menjadi kering dan rontok, dan ketika melihat kebun Jati dari dekat, nampak tanah dan daun kering sama-sama berwarna kecoklatan.

Akhir bulan Desember pemandangan itu sudah mulai berubah, ada sedikit warna kehijauan dari pucuk pohon-pohon Jati, karena daun muda mulai muncul, dan ketika berada di dalam kebun Jati akan terasa udara segar dan tanah yang basah.

Setiap akhir tahun, menjelang tahun baru, pemandangan indah itu akan selalu hadir di kebun Jati, bukan saja suara burung, monyet, jangkrik, belalang, ayam dan kambing, tetapi suara kodok yang nyaring akan menyambut hujan setiap hari.

Para pekerja akan membawa doa dan harapannya ke tahun baru, mereka selalu bersemangat menyambut musim hujan yang penuh keberkahan ini, karena mereka tahu bahwa pohon Jati dan pohon lainnya akan bertambah besar seperti anak-anak mereka yang bertambah besar dan bertambah dewasa.

Teaks plantation looks brownish from the distance, because drought season made Teak leaves dry and fall, and when we come up to the plantation we find the ground covered with dry leaves and the tree trunks look strong.

At the end of December the scene started to change, there was a slight greenish color from the top of the Teak trees, because young leaves began to appear, and when we approach to the land, the air is fresh and soil is wet.

At the end of the year, before the new year, the beautiful scenery will always be beautiful in the Teak plantation, the animals sound loudly welcome the rainy season. Not only birds, monkeys, crickets, grasshoppers, chickens and goats, but the sound of frogs gives a sign that it is going to rain soon..

Musim panas sudah berakhir di bulan November dan sekarang sudah mulai musim hujan. Hampir setiap hari turun hujan, pagi hari, siang atau malam, kadang-kadang sebentar bisa juga lama sepanjang hari atau sepanjang malam.

Saat ini jalan menuju sekolah hampir semua sudah dibuat dari semen, tetapi apabila musim hujan, jalan semen cepat rusak, retak atau hancur.

Murid-murid yang tidak tinggal dekat sekolah akan berjalan ke sekolah di bawah hujan, hampir semua murid tidak punya payung atau jas hujan, biasanya mereka memakai pelindung hujan dari daun pisang atau daun talas.

Hujan tidak membuat murid-murd malas ke sekolah, karena mereka tahu kalau di sekolah mereka bisa belajar, bermain dan membaca buku-buku cerita pemberian dari PT Goldteak.

No Comments on Rainy Season in Cibening Village

Drought season has ended in November and now the rainy season has begun. It rains almost every day, morning, afternoon or night, sometimes for a while it can be long all day or all night.

Government fixed & built the road to school with cement, but cement does not last long. Usually rain makes the road easily damaged and cracked.

Students who do not live near the school will walk to school in the rain, almost all students do not have umbrellas or raincoats, usually they use banana leaves or taro leaves to protect themselves from rain.

Rain does not make students lazy to go to school, because they know that they will earn, play and read story books given by PT Goldteak with their friends. Rainy days are another happy days for the students.
