Weekly discussions for program preparation and review were held by Stube HEMAT Bengkulu at Polindes Bengkulu Tengah (Sunday, 31/07/2022). Reginiana Dosvia, an activist for Stube HEMAT Bengkulu, led the discussion and gathered the impressions, experiences, and benefits gained by the participants who followed the activities of the Multiplication of the Stube HEMAT in Bengkulu about Climate Change. Some of the participants expressed their experiences:
Jethah Hafizzah Alzahra, “I am from Central Bengkulu. I participated in Stube-HEMAT Bengkulu since 2021 with Regi as a companion. I learned various knowledge, and some have even been done into practice in the community, such as conducting coaching and discussions with children and women about child violence, making a volleyball team for a sustainable village, and proposing first aid kits in my village.” Jethah added, “I had an awesome experience when I have been learning from several Stube HEMAT speakers in Bengkulu, especially the topic of Climate Change in the last three months. I learned several things regarding the definition of climate, the impact of climate change, proper attitude in responding to climate change and its anticipation, practicing swimming, observing strawberry plantations, and talking with managers and the community to find out the impacts of climate change in plantation areas."
Yupita Anggarani, “Climate change causes natural disasters, for example, floods or flash floods. I am equipped to help myself and others when a disaster occurs.”
Frentia Embang Sari, “Climate change ignites extreme weather. It brings heavy rains or a long dry spell. From Stube activity, we can find out the weather changes and the education for the community, such as avoiding cutting down trees indiscriminately.”
Mosa Inderiani, “From the lesson given I learned an understanding to be wise in managing nature. Thank you, Stube HEMAT for providing material with an interesting theme because it gave me more insight. I hope this good activity will continue.”
Wini Prakusya, “The most interesting subject I learned was when I went to a strawberry plantation. There I gained much new knowledge on how to plant, observed the planting process, and got important information that in dry season strawberries can produce quality strawberries if handled properly with the required amount of water and fertilizer.”
Lela Susanti, “Climate change causes many natural disasters, such as floods. From this meeting, I gained new insight related to climate change and knew its positive and negative impacts. I am interested in cultivating strawberries based on the knowledge I gained there.”
Frengki Kurniawan, “As a person who was born in a rural area where many rivers flow through the area, I can automatically swim. I feel lucky to take part in the climate change program because I learned proper swimming skills, and got an opportunity to practice a simulation on saving drowning people. I was trained by professional divers and trainers provided by Stube HEMAT in Bengkulu. ”
The following program is Education and Energy which can be followed in the period of July-December 2022. Enjoy the process. ***
