Bundesrepublik Deutchland : Overseas Teacher and My Dream

Today, there's a teacher (or volunteer) who tell us about her hometown, Münster-Deutchland. She came to Indonesia to study Bahasa Indonesia under the auspices of AIESEC. According to Wikipedia, AIESEC is an international non-govermental not-for-profit organization that provides young people with leadership development and cross-cultural global internship and volunteer exchange experiences across the globe, with a focus to empower young people so they can make a positive impact on society. So, after they back home, there are more value for them that can't be explained and very useful for their social life, interaction with locals, learn become a leader.

The teacher's name is Teressa. Miss Teressa do her presentation about Bundesrepublik Deutchland or Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Bayern, Brandenburg, Hessen, Saarland, etc), top 5 hobbies (cycling, game, shopping, go to party, playing sudoku), animals in Germany (deers, squirel, rabbit, etc), the difference beetween North and South, and many more. Unfortunately, I can't remember any details from her presentation. Sorry mate~~ But, it was so fun.

After she finished her presentation, finally, Q & A session!

Me : what is the best way to explore Deutchland except cycling?

Her : for study or holiday?

Me : study

Her : I think you better choose Netherland was wes wos wes... you can go to another city in Europe by subway easily.

Damar : how is Jewish reaction after Adolf Hitler do that (at world war II)? (no, I'm not racist btw)
Her : the town atmosphere were condusive and we keep respect to the others, because Deutchland is a country with religion diversity, culture.

Nabila : how we can get Germany scholarship because it's to difficult to browse it?
Her : I don't know

Ira : Can you speak a little of Deutch?
Her : was wes wos wes wos... (not understand, sorry)

Sage : Do you know Jember Fashion Carnival?
Her : I don't really know, but it's like parade held on August, right? In Münster, some little girl dress up beautifully to go to carnival.

And I was so happy Miss Teressa sang a Deutchland's folk song. But, the sadness clearly painted on her eyes. She told us that sometimes she shy to born in Deutchland. It's about Adolf Hitler, which sparked Nazism. He also spread world war and over millions people died.

No offense, nationalism in Deutchland grow when there's world cup.

But, I won't believe that, every citizen has pride to their beloved country, right?

Student exchange program or anything that will take us overseas to learn another cultures, such as Youth-Exchange and Study (YES), AFS, Jenesys, etc actually are very helpful. We know, it's not easy to learn other cultures - even we don't even know well our own cultures. Sounds like irony, isn't it?

CROSSED BY EQUATOR! :P

Indonesia in world map. Thankyou.

There's no "where is Indonesia?" , "Is it where Sari from?" , "near Bali?" , or "Ind...what? Indonesia? Never heard before." I don't want to hear that anymore. My dream and also Indonesian dream are to make Indonesia popular as another hidden heaven in this Earth - with amazing scenery, beautiful archipelago, and tourism can increase civil income.

Firdausa Yuni Rachmawati, a passionate news anchor wannabe (aamiin), really want to educate Indonesian children (especially for children that lived far from town, have a bad access road). I'm very sad if they don't know where they lived, national anthem, first president in Indonesia, etc. But, my biggest nightmare are Indonesian children don't get a decent education, no education in 12 years, you can imagine that?

As mandated at UUD 1945,

Pasal 28C ayat (1) menyatakan “Setiap orang berhak mengembangkan diri melalui pemenuhan kebutuhan dasarnya, berhak mendapat pendidikan dan memperoleh manfaat dari ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, seni dan budaya, demi meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya dan demi kesejahteraan umat manusia.”

Pasal 31 ayat (1) menyatakan “Setiap warga Negara berhak mendapat pendidikan.”

Everyone reserve the right to get education, get benefit from science and technology, art, and culture, for the sake of increase their quality of life and for the welfare of mandkind. And pasal 31 ayat (1) affirm that every citizen have to get pleasurable of education.

Act now.

Miss Teressa and I
