(Morning Greeting from Board of Stube HEMAT)

We are in Bengkulu city with students of the Multiplication program of Stube HEMAT in Bengkulu to take part in the effort done by the government, church, and community in overcoming the Pandemic of Covid-19. As part of the community, Stube HEMAT in Bengkulu took part in efforts to prevent and understand Covid-19, by inviting Yayat Suhendra, M.Ners, a specialist in respiratory, a graduate from People’s Republic of China.

By participating one-day workshop on Health Problems in Indonesia, the students are expected to be able to share information and knowledge about Covid-19 from this activity to public and their communities. Some of the students who joined the activity were from villages around 90 kms away from Bengkulu city. They also have various religious backgrounds, including Hindu, Buddhism, Christian, and Catholic. Until now, Bengkulu has recorded 4.000 people who have positive for Covid-19 and still be classified as the green zone.

On the occasion, the resource person, Yayat Suhendra, M.Ners, accompanied young people and students with the topics ‘Condition and readiness of Bengkulu residents in 1 year of the pandemic’ and ‘Paying attention to sanitation and nutrition as an effort to anticipate the future infectious diseases”. It is expected that the students are empowered to be agents of change in the health sector, especially during the pandemic. The resource person in this workshop is a Muslim, he is still young, and very communicative with young people and students from various religions.

Likewise, Stube HEMAT regardless of the participants' backgrounds, hand-in-hand to face the pandemic. As Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself". This is not only done by Christians but also done by our neighbors because the law of love is not only for Christians. Yayat Suhendra, M. Ners, is a good example  how knowledge and faith are manifested in health services to others. May God use the students who have come to take part in Stube HEMAT program to solve the pandemic. Immanuel.
