A Sea Shell Flower
Creative Youth Works
 
Worthless thing can be made beautiful and very valuable. It is what a creative one thingking, full of ideas while others have nothing. Good action sometimes comes from crazy idea and even finally gets thumbs up from others. Some modern people thinks about it to earn some money for their daily needs while some other ones do it to get satisfaction or something to be proud of.
 
Piles of worthless sea shells scatered on the beach, trampled by tourists when they enjoy the scenery and fishermen who pulled their boat. However, in hands of creative people, they will turn into much more beautiful precious things. How do they make the scatered sea-shells on the beach preciously to be put in a better place?
 
Anton, one of Stube-HEMAT Sumba activists proved his creativity by doing something with the sea shells. He invited students of Stube-HEMAT Sumba to make it. This creative youngster group went to the beach and collected interseting unique sea shells. They brought them home, cleaned and dried until completely dry. When the materials are ready, we can use unique sea shells and by gluing and arrange them into a beautiful flower form. Stick one by one slowly and carefully to obtain best results. It takes creative thinking to choose sea shell that can be designed into a beautiful flower.
 
Anton himself had tried to make one model, a flower plant model that is similar to a Christmas tree. It has 130 centimetres high. Let’s celebrate Christmas with a sea shell Christmas tree!
 

Let’s make another models creatively. (Yoel).

Three Mountains Festival ‘W a i  H u m b a  I I I’ Follow-up Activity of Ecology Program

Thursday, 16 October 2014
by adminstube
 
 
 
The word 'Sumba' or 'Humba' actually means water. It is proven by all the names of major regions in Sumba which has become the capital of the district begin with the word 'Wai or Wee' having water meaning. For example, Waingapu, the East Sumba district capital, Waibakul, the Central Sumba Waibakul district capital, Waikabubak, the West Sumba district capital and Waitabula/Weetabula, the South West Sumba district capital.
 
Ironically, the physical development in Sumba often forgets, even destroys the water existence that is actually the identity of Sumba itself as developments have reached Three Mountain region. This area is the main and largest water supplier in Sumba island, consisting of Mount Wanggameti (East Sumba), Mount Tanadaru (Central Sumba and West Sumba) and Mount Yawila (Southwest Sumba).
 
Three Mountain Festival called Wai Humba in Sumba language, is a new alternative approach to make people closer to the Creator and environment, especially water. This year, East Sumba is the host of Wai Humba Festival III held on October 9 - 12, 2014. This event was carried out in Ramuk village, Pinu Pahar, East Sumba.
 
The activities done in the festival are Mass climbing on Mount Wanggameti, Art and culture performance from various regions in Sumba, Reforestation (Stube-HEMAT Sumba), Pahamang (culture discussion), Ecumenical worship and Thanksgiving offerings in river as pahamang (agreement) in Three Mountains Festival 'Wai Humba' 2014.
 
 
In fact, this festival is an effort to preserve Sumba culture in the context of natural preservation and protection from destruction, as well as an opportunity for thanks-giving to the creator and ancestors who have instilled many natural wisdoms.
 
Furthermore, this festival is a form of creativity developed from Sumbanese habit, namely 'Kalarat Wai.' Kalarat Wai is a religious activity by praying on water resources in Sumba island. It is a form of gratitude to the creator for abundant water and also a prayer to the creator to give water as gift for Sumbanese. (IGA).

Learn and Discover! Reflection of Exposure to Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta Program

Tuesday, 30 September 2014
by adminstube
 
 

 

'Experiential Learning' is a sort of learning form, assumed more meaningful as it provides ‘real’ experience to students on a learning material. The method brings benefits to the students because they learn not only the concept of matter, but they involve directly in the learning process used as their experiences and how to discover new things.
 
It is actually what Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta does by providing opportunities for students and youth activists from Stube-HEMAT Sumba to study in Yogyakarta for one month. In Yogyakarta they learn many new topics, such as batik jumputan, ribbon embroidery, journalism and packaging techniques. Besides that they also improve their knowledge by practice learning of integrated farming, dry land agriculture, bamboo art design and integrated livestock.
 
 
In 2014, Benhardyanto Lobo Mone (GKS Makamenggit), Feni Kaita Lepir (GKS Kombapari), Guest Ning Apu (GKS Payeti), Jems Umbu Yiwa Ndapangadung and Ignasius Umbu Reda Anabuni (STIE Kriswina) and Yumi Takadjadji (STT Lewa) were elected as the delegations of Stube-HEMAT Sumba to learn to Yogyakarta from the 4th until 29th of September, 2014.
 
Journalism became one of the learning menus, in  which participants were trained to express what they saw, heard and felt, subsequently embodied in written form. Such writings skills became sort of 'ammunition' to document the cultural richness of Sumba, to promote Sumba tourism potencies, to reveal the fact of social problems, and to improve personal writing skills and even to get income.
 
Next, they learned enthusistically batik jumputan, ribbon embroidery and packaging techniques. These skills equipped participants to promote themselves and built self-reliance through entrepreneurship of souvenirs and accessories.
 
Agriculture and livestock applied daily in Sumba was enriched with knowledge of integrated farm management and pig farms quality. Integrated farming by utilizing irrigation water distributed to a fish pond, duck and finally into farmland may become one practise example. Further, the pigs farm was enhanced through improved pig seeds, healthy food selection and qualified treatment.
 
At the end of the program, participants commited that the knowledge, experience and skills got in Yogyakarta will be applied and developed in Sumba. One of them, Ningsih Tamu Apu said, "I will apply all the knowledge I get to woman farmers in Wangga Watu, especially Rinjung Pahamu group, how to cultivate farmland better".
 

 

It’s the time for young people to build a better Sumba. Good Luck! (TRU)

Keep Spirited, Though Sleeping on A Piece of Cement Paper   a travel note of my journey to Yogyakarta

Tuesday, 30 September 2014
by adminstube
 
  
 
Finally, the long-awaited day arrived. Monday, September 1st, at 5:00 a.m sharp, we departed from the port of Waingapu by KM Awu to Java island. I and five other participants, namely Ignasius Umbu Reda Anabuni, Feni Kaita Lepir, Ningsih Tamu Apu, Berhardyanto Lobo Mone and Jems Umbu Yiwa Ndapangadung are delegations of Stube-HEMAT Sumba to study in Yogyakarta for one month.
 
 
“Ouw ......., the ship is fully loaded with passengers”, I thought. As a result, we did not have any place to sleep. In the middle of our confusion because of nowhere to sleep, Abner, one of Stube-HEMAT Sumba activist who was on the same ship to accompany his sister to continue study in Java said, “Just sleep over there! There is no enough space any more!”.
 
“Really, just sleep there?” surprisingly I responsed his saying after he asked me to sleep under the stairs.  Since there was no better option,  we laid our body on a mat of cement paper to rest. At the moment I reflected that, I should be grateful for this condition as it is not for long, while a lot of people out there who do not have any place to stay, should live from one shop’s terace with cardboard mat.
 
 
 
Although sleeping under the stairs and make our body aching, we still enjoyed it. I found interesting experiences. In the beginning, we did not know each other, however as we came from the same island of Sumba and sailed on the same ship we became familiar. We shared stories and the atmosphere became alive throughout the days. Then slowly we could enjoy a good night sleep.
 
 After arriving in Benoa, Bali, we finally got a decent bed, because many passengers disembarked.

 

In Tanjung Perak port, Surabaya, from the deck of KM Awu, I saw a strange buildings. It was so different with the situation in Sumba. My heart pounded waiting for the first time I step my feet on the land of Java. "Thanks God, finally I step my feet on Java island”, I said. Soon I would be in Yogyakarta, even there was still a trip from Surabaya to Yogyakarta by car.
 
 
Yogyakarta, here I come! (YUMI)

A Worthy Blessing Participant’s Respond toward Program of Exposure to Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta 2014

Monday, 29 September 2014
by adminstube
 
 
 
On Monday, August 24, 2014, I went to church for a Sunday worship in GKS Kombapari. Mrs. Elisabeth Rihi, Pastor Yohanes Umbu Tunggu Djama's wife met me before the worship began. With a very cheerful face, she asked me to meet her soon after the worship. I was so curious.
 
After the worship, I walked toward the manse to meet her. She just smiled and made me more curious. Suddenly she asked me,
"Feni, would you like going to Yogyakarta?”she asked.
"Yes, I want it!" I replied firmly.
"But, why should I go to Yogyakarta, anything to do, Mom?” I asked then.
 
Mrs. Elisabeth explained that Stube-HEMAT Sumba has the program of exploring Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta. I was so impressed with the explanation and made me more interested. As soon as I returned home, I told my parents about the program and explained its goal. Finally, they supported and allowed me to join the program.

I waited the event with a pounding heart. On Friday, Suddenly, I got a call from Rev. Dominggus Umbu Deta, S.Th., the coordinator of Stube-HEMAT Sumba. He asked me to meet other friends at Stube-HEMAT Sumba secretary in Waingapu and informed me the schedule to Yogyakarta.
 
I felt so grateful joining the Stube-HEMAT Sumba training program, because I learn about creativity and art through this program. In addition, I also have new friends and experiences that would be useful for my future. (FEN)

A Blessing Came from a Dilemma Participant’s Respond toward Program of Exposure to Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta 2014

Monday, 29 September 2014
by adminstube
 
 
My name is Jems Umbu Yiwa Ndapangadung. I live in Kawangu, East Sumba. Currently, I'm in semester 5 at Kriswina Economics Academy, Waingapu. While I study in a college, I often join the activities of Stube-HEMAT Sumba. Some training that I follow are Social Analysis Training, Computer, Multicultural, and Church and Politics.
 
One day I got a call from Julius Anawaru, one of Stube-HEMAT Sumba’s team. He told me that Stube offered me to go to Yogyakarta. When I heard the news I was shocked and it was such dilemma for me. Why? One side, I felt happy to be able to go to Yogyakarta, but on the other side, I felt sad leaving my college for one month with full schedule. I could not give my answer instantly because I was at campus and the information given just by phone. I could not think calmly. Then, I rushed to go to Stube’s secretary and asked more information to Yulius and other team. They all asked me if I would be able to join the program of Exploring Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta or not.
 
 
I admitted that it was hard for me to make a decision, between remained in Waingapu or went to Yogyakarta. But I also realized that every decision brings risks. Sixty minutes passed, I thought and considered many things. Finally, I make a decision, "Okay, I went to Yogyakarta!" Actually, an opportunity to learn in Yogyakarta with no personal expenses like winning a lottery. Formerly I felt dilemma but finally I enjoyed it.
 
For one month joining the program of exploring Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta program equipped me with many theories that I didn’t get in college. Visiting many places to learn, having interaction with some agriculture and livestock practitioners, and also practising how to make many creative products. It is an interesting model of learning and improve my thought to think holistically.
 
Returning from Yogyakarta, I will share the knowledge and experience to my friends in Stube-HEMAT Sumba and the people around. (JEMS)

I'm Really, Really Glad! Participant’s Respond toward Program of Exposure to Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta 2014  

Monday, 29 September 2014
by adminstube
 
On August 25, 2014, precisely on Monday morning when I was having breakfast, suddenly the phone rang, and the caller was Apriyanto Hangga, one of Stube-HEMAT Sumba team. He asked where I was. I told him that I was in Sumba Christian Church (GKS) of Kawangu for doing a month church service.
 
"Ouh, what a pity!" Apriyanto Hangga said immediately.
"Is it about going to Yogyakarta, right?" I shouted spontaneously.
Apriyanto granted.
I immediately asked him the schedule, and he told me the group will depart on September 2, 2014.
"I am ready to join because my practice ends on August 31, 2014" I replied firmly.
On that day about one o'clock, I was asked to come and meet him at Stube-HEMAT Sumba's office to discuss the program to Yogyakarta. Gladly selected as participants to have exposure to Yogyakarta, I left my breakfast on the table, left the room, scream and jump. “Yes!” I shouted.
"Sister, I am glad, really glad!” I said to a friend of mine.
 
 
Finally, my dream to go to Yogyakarta comes true. Unluckily, leaving my breakfast on the table without cover, I let a cat ate my breakfast! But it is no problem at all, I was not disappointed because the most important thing is to be able to Yogyakarta. The challenge continued, I have to complete my report of the church service in few days before leaving for Yogyakarta. I wasted no time, I used every minute to type my report and for being so eager to do it, my notebook became overheated and died! As a result, all data that I typed lost.
"O my God! My fate, I failed to Yogyakarta", I thought.
 
But, perseverance and patience bring its fruits. I started to retype my report and submited it on time, on August 31! On September 1,  2014, with five friends of Stube-HEMAT Sumba, I went to Yogyakarta by a Awu ship/motor vessel (MV), from Waingapu to Tanjung Perak, Surabaya. This is my story, how is yours? (YUMI).

My Poor ‘KM Awu' a travel note in my journey to Yogyakarta

Monday, 29 September 2014
by adminstube
 
 
 
The departure day to Yogyakarta finally arrived. My friend Ignas, Feni, Yumi, Budi, Ningsih, and  I, gathered on the dock of Waingapu, Sumba. We were waiting for the ship’s boarding time. The ship that would take us to Java was KM Awu. It is the only vessel that carries passangers to and from Sumba island. So, 'KM Awu' itself has become part of life of Sumbanese to travel out of the island.
 
Our trip took time, started from Waingapu port, then the vessel stopped at several ports, like Bima in West Nusa Tenggara and Benoa in Bali. It took approximately three days and two nights to reach Java Island. It was a quite tiring journey for us.
 
The official website of PT. Indonesian National Shipping mentions that this ship was made in Papenburg, Germany in 1991. With a total capacity of 969 passengers, the ship was designed to carry 14 passengers in class I, 40 passengers in class II, and 915 passengers in economy class. It is indeed a proper design to transport passengers in comfort. Of course, we did not sail by ourselves. We shared time and space with other passengers having various destinations. Honestly, the capacity was really exceeding of provision. However, our trip to Tanjung Perak, Surabaya is really a memorable thing.
 
I pensived for a moment in the middle of the crowded passengers struggled to get rooms and spaces. Should my 'Awu' be overloaded? I felt that the condition of the ship was really uncomfortable, there were so many passengers that it seemed overloaded. We had to sleep on the deck with cement paper that we had bought five thousand rupiah a piece. While many other passengers had to sleep outside. An irony of Indonesia known as a maritime nation but the sea transportation was neglected. In addition, if the ship was overloaded, it would be risky for the passengers.
 
I just hoped that the government, especially the manager of passengers ship, will pay more attention to the safety, so that undesired things can be avoided and passengers will feel comfortable when using KM Awu. "...and my Awu keeps sailing with a smile..." Hopefully. (JEMS)

The Behaviour of Ship's Passengers At Waingapu, Bima, Benoa and Tanjung Perak Ports a travel note during my journey to Yogyakarta

Thursday, 25 September 2014
by adminstube
 
 
Indonesia is known as an archipelago, so ships become very important as means of transportation to support the mobility of people and economic growth in the community. This condition enforces government to improve the quality of many ports in many islands in Indonesia. The existence of a port is not only the responsibility of the port manager, but all the stakeholders. My first sailing experience by ship, is using ‘Awu’ motor ship.  One interesting thing that I observed while in port, is the passengers’ behaviour when boarding and disembark.
 
At the port Waingapu, East Sumba, the discipline is still very low, because when the ship at the jetty, the boarding passangers and the disembark passangers pass through the same bridge, so they collided. It is caused by loose regulation and weak security guards.
 
The same situation is also found in port of Bima, West Nusa Tenggara even it can be said worse because not only passengers who enter and disembark on the bridge, but also traders who tried enter the ship to sell something. They see opportunity that the vessel's passengers as their market.
 
A different situation appeared in port of Benoa, Bali, with its order and the tight security officers. Passengers must wait until all passengers in the ship disembarked, then they were allowed to board. Meanwhile, in the port of Tanjung Perak, Surabaya, passenger disembarked orderly because its tight guard, although its condition is not the same with the condition in Benoa, Bali.
 
Finally, I wish all passengers be aware of the importance of order and regularity to ease everything. (FEN)

Why does Yogyakarta become the destination? Because Stube-HEMAT Sumba was originated from the city that’s known as student, cultural and tourism city. Most of young people across the country dream to continue their study in Yogyakarta because there are various fields of study in many education institutions in this city. Besides the complete education facilities and comfortable learning atmosphere, the living cost in this city is relatively affordable. As a city withrich cultures and tourism artworks, tradition and creativity, this place has many beautiful tourist areas, many handicrafts, souvenirs and culinaries.



By sending them to Yogyakarta, participants get real experiences because they can see and discover new things. Participants are expected to learn a lot of things and find out what could be developed in Sumba. On Monday morning, September 1, 2014 the participants departed from Waingapu using Awu Ship, with route of Waingapu – Bima – Benoa – Tanjung Perak, then continued by car from Surabaya – Yogyakarta, and arrived in Yogyakarta on September 4.

Dominggus Umbu Deta, S.Th., the coordinator of Stube-HEMAT Sumbadelivered a message to the participants, "The opportunity to learn in Yogya iskind of God’s blessing. Participants should be grateful for it. Learn seriously and develop your talent in Yogyakarta. But you must  remember, on your return to Sumba, the experiences and skills  gainedshould not be owned by yourself, but please share to others."
 
The activities in Yogyakarta from 3 to 30 September, 2014 consist of a series of learning through discussions and practice skills based on participants' interests, such as journalism, culinary, bamboo craft, fodder, batik, various packaging techniques, and dry land agriculture.

Doing Interaction to Observe Sumba  

Monday, 23 June 2014
by adminstube
 
Follow-up Activities of Social Analysis Training
 

 
Field observation and direct interaction with people to gather information is one way to observe Sumba, as studied in the social analysis training held a few days ago. Based on the group divison done before, each group will work on a certain-chosen topic issue, as the follow up activity.
 
Many interesting things were found because what people thought in the beginning was not always the same with the actual ones. Next, interviews were conducted by participants, allowing them either to understand the real issue or the character of the respondents that were so diverse.
 
There was an interesting experience when a follow-up group in Inpres market did interviews because one of the participants, Elsy, got splashed water poured down by a person from one upper floor. It seemed as a means to make the hot weather cooling down. The reason that made us proud was their passion to meet and interact with Inpres market traders, although the traders sometimes refused to be interviewed realted with the unclear management of the market. Evensome of them refused to give comment on the problem because of fear.
 
One group that observed the farmers’ live in Mauliru found out that many farmers had mortgaged their fields to meet their immediate needs and had no way out except selling the mortgaged paddy. Generally they mortgaged their fields to rich people or government officials, thereby they easily released their fields at low prices just because they needed money to fulfill custom. Consequently, they might be laborers on their own lands.
 
A group that observed scavengers, stated that many of the scavengers were in early age. In that case, they lost their playing time to help their parents due to economic pressures. Throughout the investigation, the participants did not find any child scavengers who leave school, but they did not have time like other normal kids. Furthermore, this group gathered people who were concerned with education. They teached the little scavengers and gave reading books and some stationery.
 
The group which’s concerned with ‘Ijon’ found some facts that many people in Lewa depended on crops middlemen. Formerly, Lewa was supposed to be a food granary, however it become a food insecure region. It’s caused by people borrowing money or goods to the middleman had to pay 100% interest. This was one example that made people Lewa remains on poverty line.
 
The student observer groups tried to get accurate data to be presented in front of the members of the new house of representatives, as a program reference that can be implemented. Wish it be useful.

Social Analysis A Way to Observe Sumba  

Wednesday, 14 May 2014
by adminstube
 
 

 

As a social being living in social interaction, we can not be separated from social problems. There are a lot ofissues around us, but we often never realize that there are actually problems, even it becomes worse when we know problems definitely but we do not know how to handle and solve them.
 
 
Start from such a condition above, Stube-HEMAT Sumba held Social Analysis training on 09 – 11 May 2014. It took place in Sumba Christian Church Synod Hall, with Octavianus Landi as the keynote speaker. The training was attended by students from various elements of campus, both internal and external organization. This three-days training was quite tiring, but participants felt happy because the materials gave them new insight towards many issues around them.
 

 

 

Understanding towards problems, next the participants collected any issues and determined them into four most attractive ones to be their further group discussions and be a problem that would be advocated. The four issues covered:
 
  1. Inpres Market: ‘Business behind Inpres Market BoothDistribution’
  2. Farmers in Mauliru: ‘Being Labors in Their Own  Land’
  3. Scavenger Kids: ‘Keeping Book, Scavenging Trash’
  4. Farmers in Lewa: ‘Trapped by debt bondage system’

 

 
 

 

Business behind market booth came out from one assumptionon a conspiracy in the booth distribution in Waingapu Inpres Market causing muddle placement of merchants. While in Mauliru there is a phenomenon when farmers became labours in their ownfarmland as they mortgaged their farmland to the middlemen.Further, todays many children became scavengers in Waingapu, even some of them are school-aged, so it is necessary to find the cause and solution. Next, many farmers in Lewa werecontinuously trapped in debt bondage system, called Ijon,starting from the beginning process of tillage until theharvesting time. Their debt were paid by their harvest, even 100% debt interest was burdensome to the farmers.
 
Before doing activity in the real field, the participants of each group were equipped with a variety of questions that can be used to collect data and important information foradvocacy. Thus, they gathered once more with the trainer to consolidate their steps to make sure everything in the field.

Student Training on Multimedia Sony Vegas and ProShow Gold Softwares   Lewa, East Sumba, March 29 - 30, 2014

Monday, 31 March 2014
by adminstube
 
  
 




What are Sony Vegas and ProShow Gold? Both are media editor softwares which support presentation session, so the information can be delivered more interesting and not make the audience bored. These softwares can capture events in series. It is very important for students to understand these programs because it supports them to prepare a presentation and campus assignments.
 
Such technology development requires us to keep learning and working with our own personal way and style. It is the development technology that helps us to change  something manually to be easier and quicker. To respond such ease, Julius Dundu Tay, an activist of Stube-HEMAT Sumba is interested to share his knowledge to friends in Stube-HEMAT Sumba, even with all limitations. The training which was held in March 29 – 30, 2014 took place in GKS Pametikarata’s manse and followed by eight students of Theology Seminary of Christian Church of Sumba in Lewa, East Sumba.
 
This multimedia training was a follow-up action of Global Education Training which held by Stube-HEMAT Sumba few months ago. From this training came up an idea for ??a learning group ofmultimedia. Through theory and practice learning, participants were enthusiastic to master these programs. They learn to take pictures, edit picture and save files.
 

 

"Well, we still want to learn more about these programs. We hope this training can be held again," one participant expressed her wish. Julius Dundu Tay is eager to share his skills although he cannot promise the date. (ABR)

CHURCH AND POLITICS Learning Politics, Who’s Scared? Wisma Cendana, Waingapu, February 21 – 23, 2014

Thursday, 27 February 2014
by adminstube
 
 
 
Indonesia admitted the supremacy of democracy since itsindependence as a sovereign state on August 17, 1945. So ageneral election is the main requirement to determine the leaders of this nation. The election provides an opportunity to Indonesians to select legislative and executive members fora five-year period.
 
Church congregations are parts of Indonesian that can not be separated from the political process of this nation, so church leaders arealso expected to provide political education to the members to be intelligent and rational voters in determining the candidates. Being rational and smart voters, they will be able to vote representatives who are fearof God. Such reasons drive Stube-HEMAT Sumba to arrange a workshop on "Church and Politics" together with East Sumba election commisions and church leaders as the keynote speakers.
 

 

Workshop participants joined enthusiastically theactivity held on 21-23 February 2014 at Wisma Cendana, Waingapu. Many of them discussed about pastor's involvement in politics practice causing many church members disappointed,however many others of them agreed with such practice. This polemics caused the workshop ran lively and the discussionstended bit tough. Some speakers said that church's role in politics is very important but it does not mean that the pastor must be representatives in the parliament. Church is called as salt and light to encourage congregation who are competent and fear of God to be representatives in parliament.
 
Church should do a prophetic action by guiding the congregation to be salt and light, instead of being a political player who will fade church’s identity if he hasmistakes because of his engagement in practical politics. However, the engagement in practical politics can not be blamed. Then the emerging problem will be the pastoral taskthat can not be done well.
 
National Commission for the election called KPUdelivered a materialconcerning the importance of community participation in the election. It gave votingsimulations to the participants. Participantswere also equipped by public communication skills to communicate the importance of election for the nation.
 
At the end of the session, the participants coming from various elements made a commitment to continue this meeting with follow-up activity, both institutionally and individually. (ABR)
