Today, all guardians received their salary and for pak Ana, it was the last time he received his salary, because starting November he will stay and work in Jakarta. He wants to try the city job like an office boy or a food vendor.
Living in a city and in a village is big different, the challenge is different, the problem is different, only the opportunity is the same. Some of the guardians believe when they can not reach their dream now, their children will make it someday in the future. What they need is to work hard.
Since SD Cibeureum has received a series of consultancy from Goldteak staff, teachers and principal have an agenda to discuss many things about the development of the school programs and the children themselves. To motivate school children who live in a small village like Cibening is not easy, the progress can not be expected high.
After 6 months giving a communicative approach to the school’s staff and the children now they start to be open and responsive. Teachers gave a regular report about everything they have in school, even now they have a list of school facilities that they need to support their activities. Goldteak has given the children many books, every time the book/s came they read together, no wonder the condition of the books are not proper to be read again although the books have been copied several pieces, but it is good, it means that the need of knowledge is becoming bigger now among the children. Probably Goldteak should find some partners to work together to supply the books (new or used ones).
Caterpillars are gone and the trees are safe now, the crushed leaves will dry and young leaves will grow. In some part of the plantation, weed is still growing although it has been destroyed and cut. We have to cut or destroyed it regularly, if nor it will take the soil nutrition.
Standing in front of the 6 meters teak tree, we feel short and small and we can see trunk and leaves are strong and green. The trees moved gently when the wind blew and it looks beautiful.
