Give youth a chance, the change willcome. This is the spirit of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta through Spirituality training at Satya Nugraha hotel, February 23-25, 2018, which encourage young people and students to express their ideas for their hometown.

Yance Yobee,
A student from Dogiyai, Papua studying in Civil Engineering, Janabadra University. "In my area there is still a big allurement to play gambling, and degenerated habit by littering trash in drainage and living unhealthy. These things are not good and I want to make the community awarehow to maintain the environment by cleaning the drainage channels regularly, cultivating fields better, so that, the harvest increasing,next the harvests can be consumed by themselves and for sale, also to educate society about  product expiry date. I hope they will get new understanding about economic condition andenvironment so the society  will get better.Finally, the improvement of economic and social condition will reduce social problems of my local area ".

Maria Modesthy Tefa,
A young girl from Kakaniuk village,Central Malaka, Malaka, East Nusa Tenggara, studying in Environmental Engineering, Institut Teknologi Yogyakarta (ITY). "Central Malaka area consists of medium plains (270-537 masl) and most of the people are farmers, others are Civil officials, police, private and others. There is an anecdote from in my village saying, no matter how high your education is and wherever you are working, finally you will back to grab a machete and a tugtoo for working in the field. "
 
"In this Spirituality training I knew Credit Union Cindelaras Tumangkar and realized the economic condition of my village that is still low. Why? It is difficult to answer because it has many aspects. I also heard the experience of Jodhog village organic farmers who become dignified farmers through organic farming. In my area farmers use chemicals tofertilize soilto remove grass and to kill peststhat harm th soil worse. The degradation of soil quality and the failure of the harvest due to theexcessive use of pesticides, even my parents oftensaid that nowadays the soil is not fertile as before".
 
"Although my education is not high yet, but I learn knowledge about environment and I want to share it. I am so motivated to share idea of organic farming with my family so they will reduce and even leave chemicals matters. I will explore organic farming in Jodhog deeper with my local friends in Yogyakarta. I hope that someday Malaka will become organic farming barn, like in Jodhog. When? I do not know, but it must be started from now."

Monika Maritjie Kailey,
She is studying English Education, Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University and originated from Aru Islands, Maluku. "I am interested in many sharings related to cross-culture understanding and positive mind-set. This idea is driven from misunderstanding of dressing style and culture in certain areas. Let's fix our 'mindset' by not saying 'this is wrong' or 'that's right', 'this is proper' and 'it is not appropriate' but think positively that different regions mean different cultures. One’s self-confidence is growing from family and environment for us to grow".
 
"If someone wants to be respected, respect others first, precisely to behave according to the place and culture in which we live and adapt the lifestyle to the place where we are. The points are, first, think positively toward others, second, familiarize yourself with the environment and the people around, third, respect others, and fourth, behave according to local culture and custom".

Ram Hara,
"I study at Janabadra University majoring in Accounting, originally from Mare, Maybrat, Sorong, West Papua. In this Spirituality training I got a description of the direction of Indonesian economy in the future,in which internet plays an importantrole in many things, one of them is business and economy. I thought about my region that already has internet access, but the people there do not utilize it optimally, just to access social media and other sites, post photos, status even porn sites. Internet users are dominated by children whose parents have no ideasabout internet."
 
"I think the need is encouraging people to improve the benefits of internet. Later, when I am on vacation I want to realize my ideas among the localpeople in my origin how to use internet wisely and useful, to encourage parents to take part in educating their children well. In addition, I also want to make  a link with Student Community of Mare (KPMM) Yogyakarta or other regional organizations"

Wilton Paskalis Dominggus Ama,
"I am from Waingapu, East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara and studying Magister of Foresty in Gadjah Mada University. Formerly, the economic value of goods are still low becausemany of them are available in nature, but now the value is getting higher because the availability of nature is decreasing. Economic interests become priority than spiritual, social and environment. In addition, the low human resources impact on low creativity and competitiveness. Sometimes economic demands push  criminality rate to increase". "Spiritual and economic balance need to be realized because spirituality is a relationship between human and God embodied in daily life, such as provide physical needs and interaction with others and environment. I have some ideas, first,giving attention to spirituality education since children. Second, increasing awareness of faith, relationships among people and participation in community organization. Third, improving quality of human resources to utilize natural resources wisely, and fourth, training people with skills and knowledge about regional-based potency, such as agriculture, livestock and traditional culture in Sumba as tourism opportunity in Sumba".

Anggita Getza Permata,
"I live in Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta and study at Sanata Dharma University majoring in English Literature. I found problems around me, such as the lack of community knowledge about the benefits of smartphone to increase revenue. Some adults and elderly people use smartphone just for chatting on social media, like Whatsapp, not getting any other benefits. Some of them know the benefits but unable to use smartphone for business". "So, I want to share with people around me about digital economy and its importance, help them find ideas for commercial products, and help them to know the way to operate smartphone to support business."

Elliana Hastuti,
from Solo Central Java, a Psychology student at Sanata Dharma University. "After attending Spirituality training, I mapped out actual social situation around me and found unemployed educated people, whereas, many companies open widely for job vacancies. What is wrong with this situation? Actualy, well-educated people should have ability for working, good integrity, and company should not lack of workers. In addition, children have rights for getting proper education, because the personality of nation is formed since childrenThe ideas that came up in my mind are, first, gather the unemployed people and give enlightenment to them about jobs, talent and interest, also how to develop. Second, do socialization on importance of children’ character and personality, instilling good character and personality to children, through church Sunday school, for one example".

Danial Ndilu Hamba Banju,
"The understanding I got from Spirituality training held by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta is getting broader perspective toward Sumba. This is important because I study Government Science at STPMD APMD Yogyakarta. We all know that Sumba is growing to develop in many sectors includingregional development, tourism, trade, education and technology. But the question is whether the community is ready with the development, what kind of community participation in the development and how far is the development bringsbenefit to the community. Therefore, there are emerging ideas that can be done in my village in Kahaungu Eti, East Sumba, such as the need to have dialogue between government and community about development goals, explore benefits and impacts of development that will be done, the need for the community to maintain local wisdom of the local people, and involvement of youth generation in development planning and implementation ".

Chindiani Rawambaku,
"The problems and social situation occurring in my area, Tabundung, East Sumba, NTT are lack of wetland agriculture, irrigation system, agriculture land and government attention to agriculture. This Spirituality training motivates me to do something for my village, toshare ideas to farmers of using organic materials, using natural fertilizers and eradicating pests without chemical pesticides but natural materials instead. I have told this to my parents and they responded well. Then propose to government to build irrigation for agriculture".

Erfan Nubatonis,
"I am from Kefamenanu, Timor Tengah Utara, Nusa Tenggara Timur and studying Hospital Management at STIE IEU. I found enlightenment after attending Spirituality training by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta and my mind was open that spirituality should be manifested into action. I was facilitated to see the reality occurred in my village, Amarasi, Kupang, NTT whichstill faces water shortage during dry season and people give less attention to health condition. They have to walk for kilometers to get water using Jerri cans to drink and cook".
 
"I remember that people in Gunungkidul, Yogyakartahave similar experience and they built water reservoir. It can be realized in my village, the people should have water tank. Therefore, I have initiative to go to Gunungkidul and learn how to construct water tank, rainwater harvesting system and regreening. Upon returning from Yogyakarta I want to share the ways of overcoming drought by harvesting rainwater during rainy season, constructing water tanks and planting trees for regreening.”
 
"In addition, I also realize that many coconut trees grow in my village. The people utilizes coconut trees only for fruits and firewood. But in Yogyakarta I found various crafts from coconut trees. I want to learn coconut crafts in Yogyakarta and after returning from Yogyakarta I will invite people to process products from coconut tree asadditional income for family. Indeed, that creativity should be started from myself."
 
Every great work begins fromideas, and Christian spirituality must be manifested in the works of service. You are expected to make it happen. (TRU).
