The Story of Sumiyati Survivors 65 at a Glance

Posted on by admin

His passion for organization led young Sumiyati to become the youngest Gerwani secretary in the Klaten area. His small posture makes him agile, agile and makes it easy to carry out all organizational activities. Happy and full of joy at that time. However, he didn’t think that his passion for organization had made him suffer for the rest of his life.

Sumiyati was jailed at the age of 17 on charges of being a member of a banned party. In detention Sumiyati also received various kinds of torture, both physical and psychological. This is what forges Sumiyati’s personality into a formidable heroine who firmly works on behalf of humanity.

A bit of the life story of Sumiyati, one of the victims of serious human rights violations in the past, the tragedy of 65/66 can be the best example for those of you who want to be involved in humanitarian work, one of which is through the #bettertogether program in collaboration with Sekber’65 and IKA supported by VOICE.

For the full version of Sumiyati’s inspirational story, you can visit the Sekber’65 website at www.sekber65.org.

Or you can buy a book on the life journey of Sumiyati and other tough heroes.

Everyone’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic is different. There are those who are afraid, those who learn and there are those who become wiser.

A while ago, infographics were posted on social media of the three zones of our emotions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The three zones are as follows:

Fear Zone:

  • Get angry easily
  • Complain a lot
  • Panic buying
  • Spread fear and anger
  • Sharing all social media posts

Learning Zone:

  • Begin to accept reality
  • Stop excessively shopping
  • Be aware of the situation and think how to act
  • Recognize that everyone is trying to do their best
  • Evaluate information before sharing
  • Stop compulsively consuming upsetting news
  • Be more aware of your own emotions

Growing Zone:

  • Begin to think of others and how to help them
  • Make talents available to those who need them
  • I am empathetic with myself and with others
  • Live in the present and focus on the future
  • Thank and appreciate others
  • Keep a happy emotional state and spread hope
  • Identify ways to adapt to change
  • Practice quietude, patience, relationships and creativity

Book Launch and Discussion: Menyemai Perubahan (Seeds of Change)

Posted on by admin

The book Menyemai Perubahan (Seeds of Change) is the result of a collaboration between SKP-HAM and the Mosintuvu Institute together with Rukun Bestari and Indonesia for Humanity (IKa) to support village communities following the natural disasters of 2018.

Support was provided for youth and village communities to rebuild their villages together following the 7.4 RS earthquake that struck four villages in Central Sulawesi on the 28th September 2018, namely Lemusa, Labuan Toposo, Soulouwe dan Toaya.

One remarkable element of the writing and publishing process was the involvement of the four community evaluators that all have quite different backgrounds. They include Neni Muhidi who is an author, Mohamad Herianto who is a local historian, Moh. Ridwan Lapasere who is a journalist and Rahmadiyah Tria Gayatri who is a multimedia artist.

The community evaluators are recruited from individuals that have experience in a diversity of fields and who are close with the regions or issues in question so that they are able to articulate the contribution and impact of the grant that has been allocated to communities or local organizations.

The community evaluators are members of the Community of Enablers, a collaborative ecosystem that is comprised of individuals, groups and organizations that work together actively and sustainably in the collection, distribution, management and evaluation of public resources in support of humanitarian and environmental work.

Members of the Community of Enablers work based on principles of volunteerism, integrity, solidarity, equality, openness and diversity.
