Globalization and free trade make business competition more intense. At the macro level, the government needs to improve human resources competence through education quality improvement programs, while at the micro level, companies need to adopt the appropriate vision, mission and strategy.
 
 
A training on human resource discussing about facing global demand with a theme 'Ready to Face Global Demand?' was held by Stube-HEMAT Sumba in GKS Lambanapu on September 28-30, 2018. It was attended by forty trainees consisting of students from several campuses such as Unkriswina Sumba, STT GKS Lewa, STT Terpadu Waingapu, Nursing Academy of Waingapu and PDD East Sumba.
 
 
Ruben Nggulindima, S.Sos., M.Pd, the secretary of education departement of East Sumba presented a topic on ‘The role of local government in improving human resources'. Nowadays the regional government of East Sumba Regency is pushing to increase elementary school buildings by implementing one elementary school per 4 kms, one junior high school per 5 kms, as well as improving educators’ quality by providing training for teachers and increasing teachers’ welfare.
 
 
The office of manpower and transmigration sent Donatus Hadut, SH, the secretary, to deliver a material on preparing reliable workforce in facing global markets and labor opportunities. Currently in Sumba there are eight hundred job opportunities available to work at PT Muria Sumba Manis (MSM) which opens the second largest sugar caneplantation and factory in Indonesia. This project will recruit around seven thousand people until 2019 and the recruitment is still in process. For those who want to work at PT MSM the opportunity is open now and it is also facilitated by the department of manpower and transmigration.
 
 
Umbu Ho Ara, SE. M.Si, with a topic on ‘Encouraging the competitiveness  of the regional economy in facing global markets’ explained about competitiveness by creating the ability to face the challenge of international market competition and increasing real income. Globalization boreInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) which increases interdependence, World Bank, freedom and ability of individuals and companies to initiate economic transactions. Free market globalization becomes a market that cannot be intervened by state policy.
 
At the end of the training, Shantaria A.R Nodu, a training participant said, "I am new to know about  Stube-HEMAT Sumbahowever I feel very happy to participate in it, because I learn deeper about human resource in facing global challenges. Besides that, I am proud because I was chosen as participant among students in Sumba. Hopefully in the next training I have another opportunity to take part".
 
 

 

The expectation coming out of the training is the government and the private sectors can work together better to develop Sumba. Through this training, students are enabled to observe available opportunities to develop themselves, even to open jobs for others. (YAW).

A warm greetings from the Sumbanese manifested inoffering and giving betel nut for everyone who visits theirhouse in Sumba,is calledPahappah. This practice isthe characteristic of the island which is carried out from one generation to the next generation. Pahappahitself consists of betel, areca nut and lime betel. When these three elements are chewed together in our mouth, they will produce red color and special taste. Areca nut, which tastes 'sepat' (a kind of taste when tongue feels drying), betel nut that causes spicy, and lime betel that can cause a burning sensation in our tongue, willfuse to produce a unique taste and benefit to strengthen teeth so that they are not easily broken.
 

 

Pahappah is an illustration of the diversity and distinctiveness of areas in Indonesia. This diversity also can be found in any discussion forum or training from Stube-HEMAT attended by students from various regions such as Sumatera, Maluku, Lembata, Atambua, Sumba, Halmahera, Yogyakarta, and other regions. These diversities are like the elements of Pahappah, if they understand their function and task to complement each other, it brings extraordinary strength for the nation.
 
The follow-up activity of Western and Eastern Values training, attended by students from various denominations of beliefs, cultural background, gender, as well as the background of the study, like the elements of unified Pahappah. The awareness of interacting, exchanging, sharing and understanding each other is a great asset tomaintain unity and peace. Likewise Western and Eastern Values are not only something to be debated, but values to find out ameeting point after exploring elements that promote humanity and human rights. (MR).

Cultivating motherland Eat what you planted!

Indonesia has potencies to produce various culinary from local crops. The variety of culinary can be developed in line with the rapid ofdevelopment in the tourism sector. In the progress oftourism  with more and more tourist destination in Indonesia, Sumba island should begin to think the culinary variety of its farmers’ local harvest as an important part to welcome guests. Unfortunately when the food is displayed in certain moment, the performance is still insimple way with the cooking process of boiling or frying, without appetizing dishes and nice packaging.
 

 

 

Observing opportunities in the future, Meliani Retang, a student of STT GKS took opportunity to explore the cobwebs of processing local crop products by participating in the exposure program to Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta. Besides theologyMeliani got additional experiences as additional knowledge other thanserving sermons by developingeconomic of church members through productive efforts by processing local crops to various foods, such as, cakes from pumpkin, corn flour, cassava flour, banana flour or sticky rice flour. They are notless delicious than cakes from wheat flour. By modern packaging and marketing, the local products can be the regional flagship products.
 

 

 

 

In addition to the motivations provided by the board in charge of Stube-HEMAT and Ariani Narwastujati as executive directors, Stube-HEMATcontinues to support its activists bynetworks and opportunitiesKristiana Triwulan, a teacher of cooking atvocational school of BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta became one of the networks where Meliani studied and practiced processing local ingredients. As a theology student, Meliani was also given a chance to convey morning reflections to teachers and students before teaching and learning activities began. There were many things that could be learned at this school. Besides learninghow to cook foods, she also learned how to choose qualifiedingredients to be cooked, even how to package and to serve creatively to make consumers were interested to buy.
 

 

 

Eat what you planted” becomes an encouragement to love local products besides keeping one’s mental for food independence. Of course, this process toward such awareness is a bit disturbing the comfort that has been felt before. However, in any inconvenience, there must be a process of thinking to be more creative to answer the existing challenges.
