Queenslanders, we need volunteers!

buab — Sat, 01 May 2010 05:11:58 +0000

Teman-teman sekalian,

sehubungan dengan diadakannya pengiriman buku bulan Juli ini, kami mengharapkan bantuan tenaga suka rela dari teman-teman sekalian. Kami akan melakukan penyortiran dan pelabelan buku dalam jumlah banyak.

Bagi yang berminat, teman-teman dapat mengirimkan nama dan nomor telepon ke buab@ppi-australia.org dengan subject: Volunteer. Bila sesuai dengan yang direncanakan, kami akan memulai penyortiran di akhir bulan Juni atau awal Juli, so, that’s just a month away.

Terimakasih atas perhatiannya.

Salam Anak Bangsa.

Sekilas Berburu Buku Oktober 2009!

buab — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 05:50:59 +0000

Dalam perburuan buku tahun lalu, kami kembali ke St. Vincent de Paul (Vinnies). Kali ini tim kami terdiri dari Ashri dan Ibu Rosita (foto kiri) dan Zahra yang jepret jepret. Kami telah membuat janji dengan officernya satu minggu sebelumnya untuk membeli 2 kardus besar buku seharga AU $75 each. They were soo keen. Mereka sort buku-buku yang sesuai dengan selera kita; buku anak-anak bergambar. Mereka juga bantuin kita load kardus-kardus ke dalam mobil. Dalam perjalanan pulang, kami menyempatkan ke salah satu Salvation Army dan ternyata di sana kami mendapatkan buku yang jauh lebih banyak. 8 kardus in total. 4 kardus besar, 2 kardus sedang dan 2 kardus kecil. Semuanya kami dapatkan dengan harga $250.

Lalu kami pergi ke salah satu cabang St Vincent de Paul, tapi sayangnya stok buku yang tersedia tidak terlalu banyak, hanya sekitar 20 buah dan kami pun memutuskan untuk tidak membelinya. Lalu kami pergi lagi untuk mencari The Salvos di daerah Paddington tapi nasib lagi kurang baik, kami pun tidak menemukannya a.K.a nyasar. Singkat cerita, setelah berputar-putar di daerah Paddington untuk mencari The Salvos sekitar setengah jam, kami pun memutuskan untuk pulang ke rumah. Pencarian buku pun selesai.

Behind the Scene: the Jakarta Globe

Hello everybody!

This it behind the scene (BTS) post of BuAB’s recent article in the Jakarta Globe. All the way from Sudirman CBD (Central Business District), friends from the Jakarta Globe, Zack (right) and Fariez (left), came all the way down to Depok (it’s in the outskirt of Jakarta) – where my office is.

They supposed to come at 12 at noon, but as a precaution to avoid the famous severe traffic jam of Jakarta and Depok is not that near for Sudirman CBD, they left their office quite early and arrived in my place at 11. Not a problem The interview went well and lasted for around 1 hour.

Book recipient in Mataram, NTB Province

buab — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:59:00 +0000

(UPDATED: 31 August 2009)

One recipient school of BuAB this year is located in NTB Province, a province next to Bali and quite close with Australia.

The school is up in the mountain. It is at the same height where you can see Mt Agung, the highest mountain in Bali Island (the neighborhood island), and see perfectly Senggigi beach from the top.

To reach the school, you have to ride a motorcycle until certain spot (no car access) and then continue by foot. It takes roughly 1 hour walk & hike the mountain to reach the school.

I still cannot believe how big the effort the students, teachers, and staff should make JUST to go to school.

The school is an elementary school (Grade 1 -6). It has 2 type of classes: 1 indoor class (normal class) and 1 outdoor class. The latter is actually you are studying outside the class, still with the chairs, table, blackboards. Not a good thing. But, the good thing about this outdoor class is the surrounded view is amazing! You can see the other part of the mountain which is a forest!Due to the room limitation, the administration officer’s office and classroom are basically in the same place.

Below are pictures of local children:

Thanks to Wawan & Abdul (photo above), local people who connects this project with this school!

Location: Lombok, NTB (West Nusa Tenggara) Province

Foto-foto penerima buku di Aceh

buab — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:10:00 +0000

Baru saja dapat email dari Pak Muhammad, penerima buku di Aceh:

“Mika, here are the photos of the books that you sent to my schools, SMA Negeri 3 Putra Bangsa and SMA Negeri 1 Kutamakmur , North Aceh. These photos are the ones that I took from SMA Negeri 1 Kutamakmur whereas the ones from SMA Negeri 3 Putra Bangsa will be sent to you later because I haven’t had time to go to that school yet.

Thank you very much for sending the books and if you have some more you can send them again to me and I will supply them to other schools.”
