Bermain Hujan

Musim panas membuat anak-anak Cibening lebih sering bermain di dalam kelas atau di rumah, ketika sore hari dan udara tidak panas, mereka bermain bola di halaman sekolah atau di sawah yang kering.

Akhir Oktober, sekali-sekali sudah turun hujan walaupun insentitasnya sangat jarang. Tetapi minggu lalu ketika hujan turun sepanjang sore, anak-anak Cibening berhamburan ke luar rumah bermain hujan.

Mereka mencari pancuran-pancuran air ujung talang atau pergi ke halaman sekolah untuk bermain bola. Suara teriakan mereka sangat riuh dan gaduh, keceriaan kembali mendatangi desa Cibening, sama gaduhnya dengan suara-suara jangkrik di malam harinya. Desa Cibening memperlihatkan keceriaannya menyambut musim hujan yang akan segera tiba.

Playing in the Rain

Summer makes children in Cibening village play in class more often or at home, when it is late afternoon and the air is not hot, they play football in the school yard or in dry rice fields.

At the end of October, it is raining once in a while even though the frequency is very rare, but last week when it rained all afternoon, the children scattered outside the house playing in the rain.

They look for gutters or go to the school yard to play ball. The sound of their shouting was very loudly and noisy as well as the noise of crickets in the evening. Facing the rainy season, Cibening village shows its joy.

Akhir Musim Kemarau

Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) Bandung memberitahu kalau saat ini wilayah Jawa Barat pada umumnya masih berada di akhir musim kemarau. Tetapi dibeberapa bagian nampak awan mendung dan cuaca dingin sekali di waktu malam. Walaupun cuaca siang masih sangat panas, tidak menutup kemungkinan dalam masa peralihan akan ada turun hujan. Intensitas hujan masih ringan dan sedang, dan akan mulai besar dan lebat pada pertengahan atau akhir November.

Walaupun selama musim panas daun Jati banyak yang gugur, tetapi kondisi pohon masih nampak hijau dan sehat. Musim kemarau bisa dilewati dengan aman dan terkendali.

No Comments on Kebakaran di Lahan Tetangga

Musim Kemarau sudah mulai sejak awal September, angin yang bertiup juga terasa panas.
Kebun Jati nampak coklat, dan tanah terasa gersang karena daun-daun kering yang berjatuhan.

Air sumur mulai mengering, walaupun ada hanya bisa untuk mandi dan mencuci sekedarnya.
Para pekerja mengambil air untuk memasak dan minum di mata air yang terletak di atas bukit.

Ketika musim hujan hampir tiba, banyak petani membakar sisa-sisa batang padinya, agar ketika
hujan turun, tanah persawahan mereka sudah siap untuk ditanami bibit padi. Pembakaran ini
adalah tradisi yang sudah dilakukan turun temurun, tetapi demi keamanan, hal ini sudah dilarang
dan kepala desa sering memberi penyuluhan kepada para petani untuk tidak melakukan
pembakaran.

Pekerja Goldteak melakukan pengawasan siang dan malam agar tidak terjadi kebakaran di
kawasan kebun. Untuk menghindari terjadinya kebakaran, hal-hal yang perlu dipersiapkan
sudah dilakukan. Penjagaan kebun yang bergantian, membuat alat sederhana untuk
memadamkan api, juga memberikan pengetahuan kepada para tetangga yang memiliki sawah di
sekitar kebun untuk tidak melakukan pembakaran.

The dry season has begun since the beginning of September, the wind that blows also feels hot.
Teaks look brown, and the soil feels barren because the dried leaves are falling.

The well water starts to dry up, even though there can only be a bath and wash around. The
workers take water to cook and drink in the spring located on a hill.

When the rainy season almost arrived, many farmers in Cibening village burn the remains of their
stem, so that when the rain fall, their rice fields are ready to be planted with rice seeds. This
burning is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, but for the
security, this has been banned and village heads often give counseling to farmers not to burn.

Goldteak workers conduct day and night supervision to prevent fires in the area. To avoid a fire,
things that need to be prepared have already been done. Alternating guards, making simple tools
to extinguish fires, also provide knowledge to neighbors who have fields around the plantation
not to burn.

No Comments on New Books for New Stories

Almost every month Goldteak donates story books and recycled items for extra curricular
activities for students. Storybooks containing knowledge, moral messages, natural environment,
inspiration, building character and nationality as well as religion.

Every time they see new books, the eyes of the students glow and shine, they are happy.
Because they know they will find new stories, new knowledge and a new world.
Their expressions and curiosities arouse enthusiasm to try and seek new experiences with new
knowledge. Imagination then becomes rich and makes students compete to be creative.

Sepatu Bot

Bagi seorang pekerjadan perusahaan, keselamatan kerja menjadi hal yang utama. Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja atau K3 ini juga diatur dalam Undang-Undang ketenagakerjaan. Perusahaan dan pekerja sama-sama harus mengetahui tentang keselamatan kerja yang sesuai dengan standar yang berlaku, salah satunya dengan memakai Alat Pelindung Diri (APD).

Untuk pekerja kebun Jati, mereka juga perlu alat pelindung kerja seperti sepatu bot dan sarung tangan. Sepatu bot diperlukan karena bekerja di tanah yang tidak rata, bebatuan, kering/basah dan menghindari serangan ular. Sarung tangan dipakai pada awal penanaman ketika merawat pohon dan pemberian pupuk atau insektisida, sehingga mereka tidak terpapar bahan kimia.

For an employee and company, work safety is the main thing. Occupational Health and Safety or OSH is also regulated in the Manpower Act. Companies and workers alike must know about work safety in accordance with applicable standards, one of them is by using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

For workers who work in Teak plantation they also need PPE like boots and gloves. Boots are needed because they work on uneven ground, rocks, dry / wet and avoid snake attacks. Gloves are used at the beginning of planting when caring for trees and fertilizer or insecticides.
