Come with a Hope

Come Back Home with a New Paradigm

Multiplier and Youth Bengkulu

Attending Survival Competency Training Yogyakarta

Introducing Stube-HEMAT program and bringing the youth of Bengkulu to follow the training at Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta, where multiplier grew while studying in Yogyakarta is an extraordinary and important opportunity. The training entitled "Coming up with a hope, coming home with ..." was held by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta. The purpose of this training is students and youth will be able to survive with their ability and skills they have. Because life problems are more diverse, students and youth are required to be smart and creative in finding solutions.

Wisma Pojok Indah, located on Jalan Kubus, Tiyasan, Condong Catur, Sleman, DIY, was chosen as the training location. Eight sessions are held for three days, Friday until Sunday, 10-12 November 2017.  Together with Stube-HEMAT Bengkulu multiplier, Agnes Yohana Sinaga, a student of Bengkulu University attended the training.

For multiplier, coming to Yogyakarta and sharing experiences during the study in Yogyakarta became a refresher process and built a new spirit besides multiplication activities. For Agnes, this training enriches her experience of analyzing the lives of young people, particularly in Bengkulu. So far, most youth coming to Bengkulu to learn, came from outside Bengkulu region. Bengkulu youth who continue to study to university level can be said only in a little number. Assumption taken from daily observations is they prefer working after graduating secondary education to continuing studies to higher education.

Agnes feels lucky that she can follow the training how to survive as a student far from their hometown, and know more about the black and white of Yogyakarta. She admitted that some college students face difficulty to do creative economy, even they don’t notice that hobbies such as playing music may be developed as creative artistic performances, while culinary business is currently stretched in Bengkulu.

For students, the study problem becomes a particular one, often the worse that it is difficult for them to answer why they learn specific studies until the end of the semester. In such cases, Multiplication Program is expected to come into and give understanding to them about the purpose of life, and since the beginning they must have idealism. According to Pdt. Em. Bambang Sumbodo, idealism is an expensive one, and there must be a big secret why you are placed there. Christian faith believes that there is no coincidence in our life.

Multiplier was impressed on team performance and volunteer of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta in recruiting and inviting participants intensively and how to reach the target. The material delivered were very rich ranging speakers from social workers, media workers, economists, and alumni. It is a real answer to the need of students.

The material will also be distributed in North Bengkulu. There is a hope that more and more youth will get the blessing of the services. (YDA).
