Tuberculosis Awareness Talk

By Cynthia and Intan

There was a Tuberculosis Awareness Talk at Learning House for Cakung Children’s Community on Saturday, October 22, 2011. Only few mothers and children have gathered there. The session started at 11.30 local time, right after we finished drink milk together.

The doctors who were giving the talk came around 11. They are Dr. Bimo, Dr. Aisa and Dr. Yvonne. More people came one by one, there were about 60 people altogether. That day we did not do our normal learning but learned through the awareness talk. Actually, the children from category 1 and 2 did not really learning after drinking milk, they just tag along with their mothers.

The doctors explained about tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a contagious airborne disease. It spread through our respiratory system, when we inhale and the tuberculosis germs getting into our lungs.

Everybody can get tuberculosis, from young children to adults. To avoid the disease from spreading, we need to cover our mouth while coughing and wash our hands afterward. Do not spit in public places, when saliva gets dry, the germ will fly to the air and spreads to others. For the children who like to buy food from the street vendors, it better to restrict that habit. We are not sure whether or not the food are clean nor nutritious. We need healthy and nutritious foods to keep our immune system strong so we will not fall sick easily. It is not just to avoid tuberculosis.

Symptoms of tuberculosis that we need to be aware of:

Cough with phlegm more than 2 weeks
Fever
Lost weight
Perspiration at night
Bloody phlegm
Chest pain
Difficulty of breathing

If we experience those symptoms we need to consult the doctors or community clinics.

Penyuluhan Penyakit TBC

Karya Cynthia dan Intan

Ada kegiatan penyuluhan penyakit TBC di rumah belajar Komunitas Anak Cakung pada Sabtu, 22 Oktober 2011. Sebagian Ibu-ibu dan anak-anak sudah berkumpul. Acara dimulai pada pukul 11.30 WIB, setelah kami selesai minum susu bersama.

Dokter yang memberi penyuluhan datang sekitar pukul 11.00 WIB. Mereka adalah Dr.Bimo, Dr.Aisa, dan Dr.Ivonne. Tidak lama kemudian satu persatu Ibu-ibu dan anak-anak datang berkumpul. Ada sekitar 60 orang berkumpul.

Hari itu kami tidak belajar seperti biasanya, tapi belajar melalui kegiatan penyuluhan. Sebenarnya anak-anak kategori I dan II tidak ikut belajar setelah minum susu, tapi mereka tetap hadir bersama Ibu mereka.

Para dokter menjelaskan tentang apa itu penyakit TBC. TBC adalah penyakit yang mudah menular dari kuman-kuman yang ada di udara. Cara penularannya, ketika kita bernafas, menghirup udara, kuman-kuman penyebab penyakit TBC ikut masuk dalam paru-paru kita.
Siapa saja bisa terkena penyakit TBC, dari anak kecil hingga orang dewasa.

Pencegahannya, bila kita batuk-batuk, tutup mulut kita dengan tangan atau sapu tangan, setelah itu segera cuci tangan. Tidak meludah di sembarang tempat, karena bila mengering, kuman penyakit akan terbang ke udara dan menularkan pada orang lain. Bagi anak-anak yang suka jajan, sebaiknya kurangi jajan, karena kita tidak tahu apakah jajanan itu bersih dan bergizi. Oleh karena itu kita perlu makan makanan sehat dan bergizi. Kekurangan gizi juga memudahkan kita terserang penyakit, tidak hanya penyakit TBC saja.

Gejala penyakit TBC yang perlu kita waspadai adalah :

1. Batuk berdahak lebih dari 2 minggu.
2. Demam
3. Berat badan turun
4. Selalu berkeringat banyak pada malam hari
5. Dahak berdarah
6. Nyeri dada
7. Sesak nafas

Bila kita mengalami gejala seperti yang diderita maka kita harus segera memeriksakan diri ke dokter atau puskesmas.

WATCHING MOVIE TOGETHER

On Monday, 27 June 2011, we, the children from Cakung Community, were invited by ladies and their children from Harapan Indah estate to watch movie together in Cinema XXI Kelapa Gading Shopping Centre 3, North Jakarta.

1. Grouping

by Intan

We gathered at Learning House on 10.00AM. While waiting for Kak Debby and other seniors to arrive, we played and bought some snacks. We had planned the trip a few days prior by grouping the participants. We were clustered into 4 groups.
The Leaders of Group I was Bang Ondo, Group II was Kak Riska, Group III was Kak Ester and Group IV was Kak Fanny.

Kak Debby, Kak Tuning and Kak Merry came around 11AM. We then stood in lines according to the groups. Kak Debby then rearranged the members of each group and put siblings in the same group so the elders would look after the youngsters.

After rearranging the groups, we were ready to go. I was part of Group IV and went into the second car together with the children in Group III. In this second car, there were Tia, Erna, Fanny, Neng, Anisa, Sergio, Pedro, Ondo, Zaka, Nael, Riska, Husen, Gabri, Icha and myself. We were accompanied by Kak Debby.

2. During the Trip

by Cynthia

I was in the first car together with friends from Group I and II. Amongst us, there were Lina, Lini, Umi, Kevin, Guntur, Devi and Ester. We were chaperoned by Kak Merry. In this car, some of us had lollies and drank water.

Most of us brought drink and snack as Kak Debby reminded us to bring some logistics and a jacket or long sleeves sweater as the cinema may be quite cold.

The first car was leading the second car on the road. It was like a ‘racing’. The driver tried to find a shortcut route. Once we reached Kelapa Gading area, the second car was in front of the first car. Then, the second car entered a wrong street and the first car followed it. All of us then were lost. The second car went to Semper direction instead. We lost Kak Tuning’s car from our sight. Then, Kak Merry called Kak Deby. Then, our car made a U turn.

Not long after that, our car arrived in Kelapa Gading Mall. We all got down at the lobby of Mall 2 and waited for the others to meet us there. Kak Debby and friends then entered the main entrance door and picked us up. We all then went to the main entrance of Mall 3 to meet up with Kak Tuning and other friends.

During the Trip by Erna

We, of Group III and IV, were in the second car. It was Kak Fanny, Kak Riska, Intan, Tia, Anisa, Husen, Sergio, Gabriel, Nael, Pedro, Icha, Neng, Bang Ondo, Jaka, Kak Debby and myself.

When we reached Pintu Air, we were offered some biscuits. Some of us had the biscuits, while some of us did not take it. After the biscuits, we shared the snacks we brought from home.

It was a fun trip, we shared jokes. Until we felt that it was quite warm and sweaty in the car. We were lost and had to make a U turn. The first car which followed us went lost as well.

Surprisingly, we arrived at the Mall earlier than the other car. We were waiting for the other friends who took in the first car and in Kak Tuning’s car.

3. Arrived at the Mall

by Pedro

We had been waiting for quite some time outside the Mall. Then, we decided to go inside and looked for other friends who were in the other cars. When we entered the Mall, Husen and I saw some tourists. We stayed and sit down on the bench for awhile. Then we went outside again hoping to see our friends coming. Finally we met them.

4. Waiting for the movie to start

Before entering the cinema, we stood in lines and no one pushing around. I felt the ambience of the cinema as quiet and cold. Kak Debby, Kak Tuning and Kak Merry straight away set us in lines. We were seated in row D and E. The seniors sat at the end of the rows.

We sat and waited for the movie to start. There were several advertisements prior the lights went off. Then, the movie “Serdadu Kumbang” started.

Ms Mona’s farewell

By Febry & Riska

On Saturday, 19th February 2011, there was a big occasion for the children of Cakung community. Ms Mona went to her hometown for good. After finishing her school, Ms Mona wanted to spend her future life where her parents live which is Balikpapan.

Ms Debby asked, “Of which province is Balikpapan the capital of?” Yana answered, “East Kalimantan”. Yana was right so he got the chance to be the first person to receive the meal served by Ms Mona.

Ms Mona said that in five years’ time, when she came back here, she wanted to see the Cakung children graduated from their schools, also Yana graduated from SMK (vocational high school). If Yana did not graduate, the children & mothers who were watching shouted “Make her bald, Ms!”

When Ms Mona served the food, she made clear again that all the children must graduate from their schools.

After that, Ms Mona helped by other facilitators distributed the meal. We ate eagerly. The menu was varied there were fried chickens with rending spices and kimlo soup. After meal, we said good bye to Ms Mona and went home.

Perpisahan dengan Kak Mona

Karya Febry & Riska

Pada Sabtu, 19 Februari 2011, ada peristiwa besar yang dihadapi anak-anak Komunitas Anak Cakung. Kak Mona pergi meninggalkan kami semua. Setelah lulus sekolah, Kak Mona ingin melanjutkan masa depannya di tempat orang tuanya berada, yaitu di Balikpapan.

Kak Debby bertanya, siapa yang tahu Balikpapan adalah ibukota dari propinsi apa? Yana menjawab, ‘Kalimantan Timur’. Karena Yana menjawab dengan benar, maka ia mendapat kesempatan untuk menerima makanan yang dituang oleh Kak Mona lebih dulu.

Kak Mona berpesan, lima tahun kemudian, bila Kak Mona kembali kesini, Kak Mona ingin melihat anak-anak Cakung lulus sekolah, juga Yana lulus dari SMK. Kalau Yana tidak lulus, para ibu yang turut menyaksikan langsung menyahut, ‘Dibotakin aja, Kak!’

Saat makanan diberikan, Kak Mona menegaskan kembali janjinya, bahwa semua anak mesti lulus sekolah.

Setelah itu, kami dibagikan makanan oleh Kak Mona dibantu Kakak-kakak pendamping. Kami makan dengan lahap. Lauknya beragam, ada ayam goring rending dan sup kimlo. Selesai makan, kami masing-masing bersalam perpisahan dengan Kak Mona dan pulang.

On Saturday 18th December 2010, my friends, the mentors and I had an evaluation programme for 2010 activities at JRK base. We left Cakung at 8:30 am. We rode in a minibus no 21 that we had booked a few days before.

The journey was short. After a few minutes we arrived at the destination. We rested for a while drinking hot tea and ate lontong (steamed rice rolls) as a breakfast provided by Ms Uju.

We soon started the evaluation. Ms Rikah arrived a bit later and gave each of us a piece of paper. We were discussing in a small groups. Each group was supervised by a mentor. The mentors were Ms Debby, Ms Uju, Ms Uwie, Ms Qori’ah, Ms Ari and Ms Rikah.

We were busy writing the evaluation results of different activities in the format that had been prepared. Afterwards we gave a presentation in the group till lunch time. We had lunch while still continuing the evaluation. After that, we took a break, playing games prepared by Ms Qori’ah.

Before outlining the 2011 Programme, Ms Debby announced the Mentor organization structure for the 2011 Programme. I was appointed as one of the responsible persons of Child Nutrition Development Programme alongside Mala and Ondo. Then we had to establish the detail of our programme.

We had to continue our tasks in Proklamasi Garden because the person in charge to guard the house/base had a class to attend to. It was getting late and we had not finished yet. After a while we finally got them done so we went home.

We went home using the same rented vehicle. The journey was quite a long one and we were knackered when we arrived home.

Evaluasi Program Kegiatan 2010

Karya Anah

Pada Sabtu, 18 Desember 2010, saya dan teman-teman beserta kakak-kakak pendamping mengadakan evaluasi program kegiatan 2010 di sekretariat JRK. Saya dan teman-teman berangkat dari Cakung sejak pukul 08.30. Kami berangkat naik angkutan umum 21 yang sudah disewa sejak beberapa hari yang lalu.

Perjalanan kesana tidak terlalu lama. Setelah beberapa menit, kami tiba di tempat tujuan. Kami istirahat sejenak sambil minum the hangat dan sarapan lontong yang telah disediakan oleh Kak Uju.

Selesai istirahat, saya dan teman-teman juga kakak-kakak pendamping mulai evaluasi. Kak Rikah datang kemudian dan langsung membagikan kami selembar kertas. Kami mulai diskusi dalam beberapa kelompok. Tiap kelompok didampingi oleh kakak-kakak pendamping. Mereka adalah Kak Debby, Kak Uju, Kak Uwie, Kak Qori’ah, Kak Ari, dan Kak Rikah. Kami mengevaluasi program kegiatan 2010.

Kami sibuk menulis hasil evaluasi program kegiatan kami masing-masing dengan format yang sudah disiapkan. Setelah itu, dalam tim kami mempresentasikannya hingga tiba waktu makan siang. Kami makan sambil melanjutkan evaluasi. Selesai evaluasi, kami istirahat sejenak dengan beberapa permainan yang disiapkan oleh Kak Qori’ah.

Sebelum mulai menyusun program kegiatan 2011, Kak Debby mengumumkan struktur organisasi pengurus program kegiatan 2011. Saya menjadi penanggung jawab program peningkatan gizi anak bersama Mala dan Ondo. Setelah itu, kami mulai menyusun program kegiatan kami masing-masing.

Karena penjaga rumah akan berangkat kuliah, kami terpaksa melanjutkan kegiatan penyusunan program di Taman Proklamasi. Malam pun tiba, kami belum selesai juga. Setelah beberapa lama, kami pun selesai dan beres-beres untuk segera bergegas pulang.

Kami pulang naik mobil sewa yang menjemput kami. Perjalanan panjang dan melelahkan menyertai kami sampai di rumah.

Swimming in Waterland

By Pedro

On Sunday, 17 October 2010, we went to Waterland for swimming. We left our place around 10am and went there by car.

We were so happy arriving in Waterland. After paying the admission tickets, we straight away changed our clothes and jumped to the swimming pool.

I took water sliding together with Kevin and Harris. When we touched the water, Harris pushed me down to the water. I told Kak Qo’riah about it and she scolded Harris.

We still friends after all and played together again. I was so active playing and did not notice there was a hole on the floor. I fell off and bleeding.

Then, time for lunch, we all gathered to have lunch together. Kak Qo’riah was looking for some medication for my wound.

Late afternoon, we went home satisfied and happily.

BERENANG DI WATERLAND

Karya Pedro

Pada Minggu, 17 Oktober 2010 kami berenang di Waterland. Kami berangkat sekitar pukul 10 naik mobil.

Tiba di tempat renang, kami semua sangat senang. Setelah bayar tiket masuk, kami langsung ganti baju dan berenang.

Saya naik perosotan bersama Kevin dan Harris. Saat turun ke kolam, saya di’lelepin’ oleh Harris. Saya memberitahukan pada Kak Qori’ah. Kak Qori’ah langsung mengomeli Harris.

Setelah itu kami berbaik kembali dan bermain bersama lagi. Saat bermain, saya tidak melihat ada lubang di lantai, saya terjatuh dan terluka.

Siang hari, kami dipanggil untuk makan siang bersama. Setelah itu, Kak Qori’ah mencari pengobatan untuk saya.

Sore hari kami pulang dengan hati gembira dan puas bermain.

On Saturday, 30 October 2010, my friends and I had a study evaluation in Learning House. Before the evaluation, we studied at home hoping that we would get good marks.

Once the seniors arrived at the Learning House, they distributed the test papers. We were ready to do the exam. I did not cheat but some friends did cheat.

Some friends finished the test earlier, Erna and I finished the last. After the evaluation, we took a break.

We then gathered again to learn the result of the evaluation. The best mark for Category I was scored by Zidan, in Category II was Dino, in Category III was me and in Category IV, it was Yana.

After the result announcement, our seniors gave some advices for each category to motivate us to study harder. Then, we enjoyed healthy menu, capcay (a vegetable stir fry dish). We brought our bowls of rice from home to have the capcay for lunch.

We enjoyed capcay on rice together on the long table. After lunch, we went home.

Experiencing Waterland

By Erna

On Sunday, 17 October 2010, we went swimming together in Waterland. I love swimming with friends. There was something disturbed me and friends when Eneng and I were pushed down to the water by Kevin. Eneng cried.

Eneng taught me how to swim until I can swim. After the noon prayer time, all the children were asked to get out from the pool for lunch together. We had bread distributed by Kak I’ah.

After lunch, we swam again. I played sliding and swim under the water fountain. We swam in all the pools.

We felt tired after a while. Then we took shower and ready to go back home. We went home by car. When we were on the road, the rain was pouring heavily.

Pengalaman waktu ke Waterland

Karya Erna

Pada Minggu, 17 Oktober 2010, kami pergi berenang bersama ke Waterland. Saya senang berenang bersama teman-teman. Hal yang mengganggu saya dan teman-teman adalah ketika saya dan Eneng di’lelepin’ oleh Kevin. Eneng menangis.

Saya diajar berenang oleh Eneng, akhirnya saya bisa berenang. Setelah zuhur, semua anak diminta naik ke atas kolam untuk makan siang bersama. Kami makan roti yang dibagikan oleh Kak I’ah.

Selesai makan siang, kami berenang lagi. Saya berseluncur di kolam, kemudian berenang di kolam air mancur, kami pindah mencoba semua kolam yang ada disana.

Setelah lelah berenang, kami mandi dan bersiap-siap pulang. Kami pulang naik mobil. Saat pulang, hujan turun dengan deras.
