Human resource is the key to realize a regional development plan properly. The management is applied through a government system. Each rural area has very diverse and potential resources to support the prosperity of each village. Many things occur as obstacles in the utilization and management of every existing natural potency to achieve village autonomy. For the sake of equitable development from upstream to downstream, the central government held a village fund program of 72 trillion, with various budget utilization schemes according to the superior potential of each village.

During this period, the central government actively promotes the Village SDGs system in the village development system. It was initiated by the United Nations for all village communities that should become beneficiaries and no one is left behind. The development progress will not stop in just one generation but will continue from generation to generation.

 

 

The main points of the Village SDGs according to A. Halim Iskandar are, "Realizing a village without poverty, without hunger, decent clean water, and sanitation, clean and renewable energy, infrastructure and innovation according to needs, healthy and prosperous citizens, receiving a quality education, women participation, an equitable economic growth, environmentally friendly consumption, and production, living in decent and comfortable settlements, respond to climate change, care for the marine and land environment, having peace and justice, and partnership to build villages”.

 

 

Refer to the discussion theme on Sunday, August 29, 2021, about systems and resources in the village, which coincided with the 6th semester Student Learning and Community Service Activities (KBPM) and internships and Field Work Practice (PKL) of 4th-semester students of the Faculty of Chemistry and Agriculture, Tribuana University. (UNTRIB), we opened a space to discuss the duties and responsibilities of young people to develop Indonesia through villages.

As a form of concern and synergy, this discussion involved the Northeast Alor regional organization – Northeast  Alor Student Harmony (KEMILAU) and the Young Observer of Village Economics, Samuel Atama, as resource person and igniter for the discussion. There is a tutoring group of Yusuf Tande and Church Youth, Alonso Tande, and KBPM students, internship participants at Air Mancur Village.

In the opening of the discussion, Marsel Maure as a young activist and chairman of KEMILAU emphasized "the responsibilities of campus is carrying out research and community development functions". As a form of seriousness from the discussion, he hoped that there will be recommendation points, that will be forwarded to UNTRIB in this case BEM (Student Executive Body) and BAPELITBANG (research & development).

 

 

Samuel Atama reviewed a lot about "the village development system through the principle of the developing a village and village develop". This discussion became interesting because of the debate in its implementation, where the residents through the existing structure have full authority to carry out the development of their village. There is a large amount of capital, not only the assets and potencies in the village but also the abundant village funds”

The concept of developing a village is an old concept, the village is considered only as an object. During that time, village development was determined by the structure above the village, namely district, regency, and province. The village, as the owner of sovereignty only acts as a spectator. As a result, village development often did not match the needs, and most of them missed the target

As an additional explanation, Samuel questioned the role of the campus that should exist in the efforts to develop an analytical method that can be used as a guide to determine what action should be taken in the production and distribution of SME (Small Medium Enterprise) creative products of the village.

The last point of the discussion, in this case, students, creative working groups, or NGO activists who mobilize, work on, and control development, must be more aggressive in making changes so that development goals can be achieved effectively and efficiently. ***

Exploring The Potencies Of Delaki Village On Pantar Island

Thursday, 3 June 2021

By: Petrus Maure, S. Kom

 

 

The recent activity to promote the spirit of village sovereignty with a theme Exploring the Potencies of the Village was held on Pantar Island, precisely in Alimake, Delaki village, Pantar Tengah district (01/06/2021).

 

The the training was carried out to respond to the village's abundant potencies, in this case, the local products, such as candlenut, coconut, cashew, sweet potato, corn, walnut, and several other local products that have not been managed seriously. It is a common fact in the rural areas of Pantar island, that the residents were unable yet to process the available commodities into higher value products. Usually, the people sell their harvests and crops products in raw materials to middlemen at very low prices. It occurs because of the limited skills to process the local commodities into higher-selling products and unable to compete in the local and national market.

 

Responding to the challenges, the workshop on village potency mapping was carried out by targetting the village youth who are considered capable to process the local commodities. To bring an understanding of village potency mapping, processing candlenuts into natural candlenut oil was held as the first practice. As the commitment, all steps of candlenut processing will be continuously assisted until the final stage, including marketing. Furthermore, hopefully, there will be more creative ideas to process available local products.

 

This activity got a good response from the youth and the village government of Delaki and it was considered as one activity giving beneficial for the community to improve their welfare. In the opening speech, the head of government affairs, Jemes Boling said, "This activity is a good step done by young people to raise the prestige of the village because various creative work can increase the community’s competitiveness, which brings a positive impact for the village into the national level, even to be international level.

 

As the operational coordinator and also the leader of the youth organization, Deriko Wabang told the goal of this activity to respond to the tourist village planning formulated by local and central governments. So, in the future, young people and others can be good hosts to welcome tourists, as well as being the masters of all assets in the village.

At the end of this activity,  Stube-HEMAT Multiplication in Alor, together with Bernad Liwang, a local Stube HEMAT activist, formed an English study group and arranged a comparative study on the processing of local products to a neighboring village, Alung village. There most of the local commodities are well managed under the assistance of Reverend Yumince Pinat, S. Th. Hopefully, other villages will soon follow.***

Journey to Munaseli, Youth Enlightenment to Love the Hometown

Tuesday, 25 May 2021
by Salsabila Sogo

By Salsabila Sogo

 

 

 

 

Salsa is my nickname and I comes from Batu village, East Pantar district, Alor Regency. After my father passed away in 2014, my mom married a man as the stepfather for us. We then moved to Kalabahi, precisely in Lendola village. I have completed my studies in Mathematics in 2019 at Tribuana Kalabahi University. As a young Alor youth, I am not ashamed to study in my area. I have my motivation in my life. For me, a person's success is not determined in which university she studies, but success is determined by oneself and how to struggle to make it happen. When I was a student, I was active in various organizations, so after graduating I still had positive activities and internships in the office, as well as an observer of women and children, and was active in handling cases of sexual violence in Alor regency.

 

 

 

As a young person who likes adventure and always wants to know new things, I actively interact with many people, institutions, and communities. One day I was introduced by a friend to join Journey to Munaseli in November 2020. This Journey to Munaseli was initiated by the Multiplication program of Stube HEMAT in Alor which was coordinated by Petrus Maure, S.Kom to identify the potencies of villages, natural and cultural resources in the village, and how to develop and benefit from them.

 

Through the Journey to Munaseli activity, I and the other participants enjoyed the trip, besides learning about the historical heritage of the Munaseli kingdom, for the first time we saw the existence of traditional tools that are still used by the community, such as coconut peeler and grater, traditional corn or rice grinders. We also had the opportunity to practice the making of VCO (virgin coconut oil). How simple things can bring new insights to anyone if packaged and managed properly like the one in Munaseli. This is what the local village government does through the Village-Owned Enterprise (Bumdes) under the name Manu Siri Koko, which manages the potencies of the village well and completes with the promotion of ecotourism packages.

 

 

 

 

What is ecotourism? Ecotourism is a form of travel to natural areas in order to conserve the environment and preserve the life and welfare of residents (the ecotourism society, 1990). So that, the ecotourism package prepared by the Munaseli Village government, apart from being a forum for promoting cultural values ​​so that their authenticity is maintained, also increases village income, especially during the pandemic. In this case, I remember the message of the founding father of this nation, Bung Karno, namely that a great nation is a nation capable of respecting its own culture, and with Trisakti with political sovereignty, economic independence and socio-cultural own identity.

 

 

In this activity, I gained new insight and enlightenment so that I was more enthusiastic to develop my hometown. This activity was expected to open the minds of young people not to be afraid to return to their hometowns and make changes. Since then, I want to know more about Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta with various positive activities, including the Exposure program to Alor island, which carried out activities in the village to sharpen the skills of young people to continue working to build their hometown, both in the fields of tourism, agriculture and humanism without losing local cultural values. Honestly, I learned that an outstanding scholar is a scholar who returns to his or her hometown and makes positive changes for society.***

Inspiration Class on Millennial Agriculture Potencies in Alor

 

By: Yusuf Tande, S.Pd

 

 

 

Referring to the explanation of the head of the Agriculture Supervisor and Human Resources Development Agency (BPPSDMP), Dedi Nursyami, there are only 2.7 million Indonesian millennial farmers or about 8% of the total 33.4 million farmers. The rest are farmers nearly at the age of 56, so that the agricultural products are not optimal. Based on these analyzes and surveys as well as the anxiety, some ideas and initiatives came up from several young people in Northeast Alor district to create an inspirational discussion class for Alor millennial farmers which gathers young farmers to exchange ideas and thoughts that bring inspiration for agriculture movement in Alor Regency, especially in Northeast Alor district.

 

 

This activity was supported by Dola Koya-koya Foundation and Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta-Alor, which took place at one location at CV n-TT Manise agriculture in Kilakawa, Kamot Village, Northeast Alor District on Saturday, 15/05/2021. The event presented 5 speakers, namely the chairman of the Indonesian Employers' Association in Alor (APINDO) Denny Lalitan; village assistant expert, Machris Mau; head of the Bukapiting State Vocational School, Simon Laumakiling; founder of CV n-TT Manise, Erwin Padademang; vice-chancellor of Untrib Kalabahi, Ely Maruli and participants from young Alor farmers, alumni of the Bukapiting State Vocational School majoring in Agriculture. Others are related institutions including Bukapiting Vocational School, UPT Agriculture Service of Northeast Alor district, agriculture supervisor staffs, and two young people from Northeast Alor district who have finished studying agricultural technology in Israel.

 

 

Dedoris Letmau, the chairman of the committee, conveyed the aims and objectives of the Alor millennial agricultural inspiration discussion class after seeing the conditions, especially in the agricultural sector, which does not attract interest among youngster. This is the starting point of the discussion class. Elyas Asamau, chairman of the Dola Koya-koya Foundation in his speech expressed his hope, "This activity occurs from the initiative of young people who try to bring together farmers, especially millennials, with related institutions to exchange ideas and hopefully there will be policies supporting the work of millennial, especially our friends who have returned from Israel to apply the agricultural technology they have learned.”

 

 

Denny Lalitan, a businessman, and former member of the Alor regency representatives told how he had ups and downs running his business. “The journey is not as smooth as we think. The problems occurred, but as young people, problems did not stop us to try. The agricultural sector is second to tourism. I challenge friends who have just returned from studying agricultural technology in Israel to collaborate with various stakeholders and shorten the supply chain through e-commerce,” he said.

 

 

The head of the Bukapiting State Vocational School expressed his hope that the graduated students get space to apply their knowledge. "The system we have built is 30% theory and 70% is practice," he said. He also suggested the students who chose agriculture to think carefully why choosing this major. "The Bukapiting State Vocational School itself does not yet have adequate facilities, but through collaboration with related agencies or non-governmental organizations, hope it can add children's insight through fieldwork practices," he added.

In line with the Head of the Bukapiting State Vocational School, the vice-chancellor of Universitas Tribuana Alor, Ely Maruli said that with the presence of educational institutions, vocational schools and Untrib is expected to prepare competent human resources in the agriculture sector. "Through learning activities and field practice outside Alor island, providing knowledge and distinguishing fertilizer products, soil types, and technology used," he said. Maruly also said that there had been an agreement and cooperation made by Untrib and the local government of Alor district through the BAPPELITBANG Office in conducting research related to other fields such as economics, education, and so on.

 

 

Erwin Padademang, one of the Founders of n-TT Manise, revealed his motivation, obstacles, and plans to establish a company in agriculture called CV n-TT Manise. Erwin revealed the reasons to establish a company in the agricultural sector that include: 1) Natural Resources, 2) Human Resources, 3) Technology, and 4) Capital.

 

 

The initiatives and ideas coming from young people, of course, cannot be separated from the support of the government as a policymaker. The village assistant expert, Machris Mau conveyed the 17 major goals of the Village SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) adopted by developing countries in the world. Furthermore, through the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration, the 17 goals were adopted as derivatives to local and village governments with the goal of sustainable village development welfare.

Machris added that if the proposal has been submitted, then the focus will be on developing the business, such as making a Budget Draft (RAB) and the marketing agency. In the future, it is hoped that stakeholders will synergize to build networks and manage such discussions continually. ***

One Year 'AMEC': an Endeavor from the Village

Friday, 30 April 2021
by Yusuf Tande

(Air Mancur English Course Community, Alor)

 

By: Yusuf Tande

 

 

At the end of April, precisely on Friday, April 30, 2021, Air Mancur English Course (AMEC) celebrated one year anniversary of its journey in Air Mancur village, Northeast Alor district, Alor regency, 40 kms from Kalabahi city to the east. AMEC accompanies children in the English learning community. This one year gives experiences of up and down moment to foster the spirit of learning and educating the children in a village far from the advanced education, the access to technology, and the crowd of a city.

 

 

The Air Mancur English Course (AMEC) Learning Community (KB-AMEC) was established and grew from a calling as active citizens in reaching children in rural areas and introducing the importance of education in villages, especially English language education as an international language. In addition, developing a linguistic culture, namely the regional language or mother tongue as the first language in preserving regional language culture or mother tongue from extinction.

This community is running for one year with 30 children from elementary, junior, and high school levels. They come from Air Mancur village and the closer village around, Kamot, about 2 kilometers from Air Mancur, which they go back and forth through the hills on foot. Most of them are children from farmer families who depend on their gardens and fields for a living, but it does not stop their enthusiasm to learn English twice a week on Friday and Sunday afternoon using one of the elementary school rooms in Tipiting village.

 

 

The idea of ​​Yusuf Tande, S.Pd and Alon A. Tande, S.Pd to pioneer this community movement started from a commitment to become 'Active Citizens' to do something positive for their hometown, although some other young people prefer to stay and work in the city. This community has gone through up and down in facilitating and educating village children with learning methods that are suited to children’s interests and needs.

Promoting education for children in the village is not easy, and not to get praise. The children learn for their future, develop hidden talents, and dare to dreams for a better future. AMEC is in the village of Salem, Pasi and together with this community, the collaboration with all parties called the 3 stone furnaces including  Government, Church, and Society (parents) continue.

 

 

At the end of this month, AMEC continues to improve the learning class, with learning support facilities, as well as teaching methods according to children's needs so that they can sharpen their knowledge and pursue their dreams so that they are not inferior compared to children in the city. The multiplication Program of Stube-HEMAT in Alor become the partner and the encouragement to inspire and to keep AMEC moving. Despite being existed in the village, we are still part of this country, and education is our lifeblood. We will continue our fighting from the village for Indonesia. ***

Giving Motivation to Young People to Produce Candlenut Oil

Wednesday, 14 April 2021
by Yusuf Tande, S.Pd.

Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Alor with Youth of GMIT Salem Pasi

By Yusuf Tande, S.Pd.

 

 

 

Alor Regency as part of the East Nusa Tenggara province has natural wealth, such as land with hilly contour, beaches, and seas. From the land, it is easy to find products such as, candlenut, coconut, coffee, cocoa, walnuts, cashew nuts, tamarind, and several other types. For the people of Alor, these plants are easy to find both in the house yards and the fields, so, normally, they become the source of income that supports the economy of the community. The harvest is usually marketed directly to the market or middleman, without processing it first so that the price is low or often fluctuating. A common commodity found in the market is candlenuts (Aleurites Moluccana) because the population of candlenut trees is numerous so that the harvest reaches 3.600 tons in 2019 (Alor Regency in Figures, 2021). Candlenut as a cooking spice is usually sold directly unpeeled or peeled to meet the daily needs.

 

How to increase the value of goods, especially agricultural products in Alor is something that worries Petrus Maure, S.Kom, the Multiplicator of Stube HEMAT in Alor, so he continues to look for a breakthrough to process these crops. He also thinks that it is necessary to "increase skills and knowledge through developing the potency of Natural Resources and Human Resources with self-capacity training and reducing ecological sins," he said.

 

The follow-up activity to equip young people to make Candlenut Oil was carried out on Tuesday, 13/04/2021 at the GMIT Salem Pasi church and attended by 20 participants from youth, students, and university students. They learn together to practice step by step to process the candlenut into candlenut oil. Some of the tools used are simple, such as nyiru (sieve tool), mortar and pestle (crushing tool), blender (mixing tool), tacu, and stove, as well as bowl containers to hold water and candlenut oil.

 

In this workshop, they processed 3 kg of candlenut that have been peeled cleanly from their shells. The steps taken are, first, pounded the candlenut using a mortar and blender, second, squeezed the candlenut mixture by adding some water. Third, store the liquid in a closed container overnight, fourth, heated the liquid until the water evaporated and the candlenut oil remained. Fifth, filtered the candlenut oil and then put it in ready-to-sell packaging bottles.

 

It is admitted that this process needed a long time just to produce a small amount of candlenut oil, but it yields good quality candlenut oil with its clear yellow color. Pure candlenut oil contains vitamin B1 and is useful for maintaining strong hair, stimulating hair growth, and eliminating dandruff.

 

This youth workshop activity got support from the local church pastor, Pdt. Sanci Oan, S.Th., as the head of GMIT Salem Pasi church, “I support creative ideas coming from the church member and young people, and this activity is also a form of developing the creative economy of the church and the community in cultivating the existing natural potencies around us. It does not bring economic benefits only, but also train our abilities and knowledge how to process local resources in our village, especially efforts to develop natural and human resource potency in line with the program of the Synod of the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT) to cultivate and develop the creative economy of the church,” she explained.

 

This workshop received appreciation from Trustha Rembaka, S.Th., coordinator of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, who was in Alor at the time for the Local Exposure program to Alor with two other Stube team members. Even in this activity, the workshop participants were guided to map the potencies of other natural products and find derivative products from these materials, to increase their economic value. Some products other than coconut and candlenut are tamarind, walnuts, areca nut, and cashew nuts.

Hopefully, in the future, the spirit of learning and togetherness of youth will continue to be maintained and be able to process other natural products creatively to support their economy independence through entrepreneurship, which will finally improve their welfare. Keep moving forward, young people.***

Candlenut Oil, The Potency of Alor for Local Self-Development

Wednesday, 24 March 2021
by Yusuf Tande, S.Pd

By: Yusuf Tande, S.Pd

 

 

 

The Multiplication Program of Stube HEMAT in Alor with the students and youth from the Salem Pasi church held a workshop on processing candlenut as local products into candlenut oil. The local youth leader, Alonso Tande, S.Pd, opened the event which was attended by 25 participants in Tutta, Air Mancur, Alor (23/03/2021). Alonso supported this activity because it promoted local products and provided a place for students and youth to train both their life-skills and soft-skills. This workshop to process the local products trained participants to observe the potency, market condition, and market opportunity for candlenuts. For the people of Alor Regency, candlenut is one of the local commodities that has economic potency to improve the economy, especially for those in rural areas.

 

Pastor Sanci Oan, S.Th as the head of GMIT Salem Pasi assembly, also supported the activity initiated by Petrus Maure, S.Kom as the Stube HEMAT Multiplicator. This activity is in sync with the GMIT Synod program to improve the church members' economy, like the last training to make virgin coconut oil (VCO). Pastor Sanci also said that this activity had a positive response from the Northeast Alor Klasis and a production house will be built in this church, as well as a place to process other local products such as cashew nuts, marungga/moringa, and others. Meanwhile, the representative of the Air Mancur Village government, the Head of RT 06, Roni I. Tande, expressed a hope of collaboration with the government to develop local products. "If this production house is established, it means that we can cooperate with the government, both at the village, district, regency level, and even possibly abroad," he said.

 

Meanwhile, Yunus P. Tande, SE, coordinator of rayon-II of the Salem Pasi congregation said that in the future, a local committee responsible to process local products of the village could be formed. Piterson Takalapeta, S.Pi, representing other youths said, "Such activities should be carried out continuously, not only to trigger creativity but also support the village economy." Piterson added that honey is also a local potency that must be developed in the future.

 

 

The activity will be continued to do, not only bringing profit but training the ability to process local products into something useful. It is a good task for young people to apply their skills and knowledge to be independent with the existing natural resources. ***

Processing Coconut Oil into Health Products (Youth Entrepreneurship)

Thursday, 18 February 2021
by Petrus Maure, S.Kom

By: Petrus Maure, S.Kom

 

In this workshop, a lecturer from the Faculty of Chemistry of Tribuana Kalabahi University, Faryda Veronika Lamma Koli, S.Pd., M.Sc. presented material on "Processing Coconut Oil into Health Products". In principle, chemistry has natural chemical elements and artificial chemical elements, and she also explained how to use natural and artificial chemicals in order not to damage nature.

 

In her presentation, she explained that almost all-natural ingredients around us can be used for skin health products, for example from fruit extracts for skin vitamins, such as oranges, papayas, pineapples, 'lerak', and also extracts from flowers such as sunflower, aloe vera plants. Oil extracts besides coconut fruit are from walnut oil, peanuts, Moringa seeds, also castor seeds. The existing local natural materials should be explored as much as possible in line with the development of knowledge and technology.

 

Another important point that was conveyed was, "Most of the skin health products currently on the market are made from synthetic chemicals. There are also natural ingredients, but the amount is relatively small. Products made from synthetic chemicals are not environmentally friendly when they end up in the environment, because they are difficult to break down by soil ”.

 

 

"Skin health products made from natural chemicals, for example, bath soap made from vegetable oil and lye, will be more environmentally friendly because it does not damage the soil. By buying and using environmentally friendly products it is the same with reducing our ecological sins,” she explained.

 

At the end of the material delivery, Farida also conveyed messages from the campus, especially from the Head of the Chemistry Department; "For now, there are very few students who are interested in studying Chemistry at Tribuana University. This activity also introduced the world of chemistry, also helped the public to understand its application which is very important for human life and nature”.

 

Hopefully, in the future, there will be more and more young people who are interested in studying chemistry for the benefit of the local natural resources. It will be useful and valuable if education with certain knowledge can apply their knowledge in society to solve all existing life problems. Indeed, it takes cooperation and goodwill from all elements, so that all the complex problems of life that exist can be solved from upstream to downstream.

 

As a presenter, she explained the purpose of this activity and how this activity came from Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta. The material that she presented was "Utilization of Local Materials Using Simple Technology". In her presentation, she brought the understanding to all the participants that all existing local natural products have a good value if we can use them well. Good value to fulfill the daily life and to have high selling value when they are processed professionally using applied technology should be done and promoted.

 

In this activity, Rev. Sanci Oan, S.Th, the head of the GMIT Salem Pasi assembly also attended and accompanied them during the workshop. It is expected that the church members, especially the youth, can be more enthusiastic and have a good influence on the life of the church members. The struggle of the church for the life today is a weak economy. The current church is self-supported, it requires the activeness and cooperation of all parties and members of the church to live up to a better church atmosphere.

 

At the end of the activity, there was an economic empowerment team of Alor Timur Laut (ATL) level,  the vicar Sepriato Snae was collecting data on the potencies of forest products in the church area. He said, "Market opportunities are open for all-natural products if they are finished as ready-to-use products".

 

 

To find out the market opportunity the youth were given a challenge to produce 100 bottles of 100 ml virgin coconut oil (VCO). The group is also allowed to participate in ecclesiastical events and to market all forms of our creative products. This workshop activity was very satisfying and immediately received a serious response from the church because it was appropriate with the church program at the GMIT-NTT Synod level for community economic empowerment. As a form of the seriousness of the participants and the church's support, a coconut oil processing business group was formed during the meeting of the church's marketing team. ***

Local Spirit for Sustainable Living

Saturday, 16 January 2021
by adminstube

 

Have you ever heard of or found ‘Alor Creative 100%’ in the media? There are two possible answers, ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Alor Creative 100% is an initiative of several Alor youths to increase the value of life through local products produced from natural resources from Alor island. These local products are processed into ready-to-use goods with high selling value from coconut, candlenut, cashews, moringa, and bamboo.

 

 

Slowly but sure, starting from local and actively participating in one festival to other festival, and collaborating with other communities, as well as promoting on social media, they are getting be more known and their networked is not only in Alor but also outside the NTT province. Petrus Maure, S.Kom, the initiator of Alor Creative 100% who is also the Multiplicator of Stube HEMAT in Alor continues to learn and opens other opportunities to promote Alor Creative 100% while empowering young people and students in Alor through the Multiplication program of Stube HEMAT in Alor. The activities of the program cover training, discussions, study visits, and other assistance.

 

From these various creative activities, Petrus was ‘wanted’ as a resource person to talk and share the spirit that is closely related to sustainable living, even though he started and built something small around him. Petrus continues to try to develop local potencies through the use of natural products, including by developing creativity by building Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) businesses. It is the spirit that must be owned and started since kids of young generation as the love expression for Indonesia.

 

 

It can be shown in the online discussion ‘Building Local Spirit for Nature Conservation and Sustainable Living’ initiated by the Krealogi Community with Petrus Maure, S.Kom, the initiator of Alor Creative 100% (15/1/2021) through Instagram Krealogi and "Alor Creative 100%. The discussion hosted by Yolanda Icha from the Krealogi Community revealed the skills and creativity that is pioneered by Alor Creative 100%. Petrus shared his early experiences while studying in Yogyakarta and being active at Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, a student service to increase knowledge and to develop skills. He continues to care for, to fight for and to make his dreams come true. Even though the pandemic outbreak has made MSMEs face a tough period but it does not hinder the emergence of creative ideas. According to Alor Creative 100% that continues to generate new ideas, designs, and values, all is still raising local potencies. Alor Creative 100% also helps improve the economy of students or the community by selling their products. Petrus hopes that young people, especially students, continue to develop themselves through their ideas by utilizing local materials so that they will be competitive with other products.

 

The Krealogi Community itself is a community that gathers MSMEs and young Indonesians to develop their abilities and skills, from soft skills to operational capabilities to improve the MSMEs business. While Krealogi is a program from Ministry of Credit Union and  MSMEs together with Ministry of Information and Communication to empower MSMEs by offering business and business solutions by discussing with other MSMEs by involving resource persons from various MSMEs and communities.

Young people, please look around you, develop local potency to produce something for the sake of the life quality improvement while still pro with nature preservation and sustainable living. (ISNA)
