Nice cold morning in Nabire, we're just arrived in this city after a long trip from Jayapura. The time I wrote this was after the depth sleep I got. we were staying in Jayapura for four months, that was a little bit short to learn English for sure even though we've learnt many things in there. Not only English learning, we had more lesson than that. Don't forget that we were also met dozens of kind and nice people who were talented and extraordinarily amazing. ok, let's started this story from the beginning. PATTERNING was a program that created by collaboration of Central Papua Government and YPA Papua, PATTERNING stand for Papua Tengah Intensive Training Program. The first cohort was only a trial I guess, that course running for only 4 months graduated 30 person. the second and also the next cohort would be held for one year with more students. The fist batch of this program started from 28th of November 2023 until 25th of March 2024, the program run with so many rules, lessons, devotions, and else. At 25th of March the first batch was graduated, we had farewell dinner, ceremony, barbeque even farewell picnic. Felt like nobody wanted to say good bye, I thought. We came with smiles and laughs but we were going home with tears, that was usual, things was often like that, wasn't it? There was a guaranteed for us to come back, the government, they would continue the program for 1 year with the students of the first batch involved in it. We were not so sad afterall, we were full of joy instead. We were going home with full handed hand, lots of learning we took there. The day has come, we were going home. At 28th of March 2024, we went home with jet plane. There was 19 student that would go to Central Papua, 17 pupilsto Nabire and 2 pupils to Timika. Woke up early in the morning, everyone was busy to prepared themselves. We took our fast breakfast, put all of our belongings to the pick-up car. We were taking pictures in front of the dorm then we prayed together with the staff, teachers and supervisor. We were separated into two groups, first group went to Nabire and second group to Timika. The first group went to Timika by Lion air, thus to Nabire by Wings air. The second group went to Timika by Sriwijaya air. At 9 we took off from Djj to Tmk by Lion, we had to wait 3 hours for the next flight to Nbx. At the meantime we decided to roaming, some of us to their families and some just Walk around. 1 hours after we landed, the second group was coming, one of them was the native Timika so she took some of us to her home. Time went by, we needed to went back to the airport for our next flight. All of us came late that afternoon, even I needed to run to the plane. The sad was, three of our friends couldn't make it. They left behind, they stay for the next few days there.
They needed to pay extra 1.950.000 for the plane so they could go home in the next flight. We decided to give whatever money we had, each one of us, we collected enough money for them so that they could go home later. I thought the lesson learnt in here, any way I did know that they would enjoy Timika a lot.
The rest of us still continue the trip by Wings to Nabire, we actually tried to persuade the flight attendant to wait for our friends but they won't do that so we couldn't do anything. Our sister, cried for them, they really did, I don't really understand why they cried, they only left behind anyway we kept the journey on. we talked to each other and enjoy the conversation so we didn't realise that we were almost there. The journey needed one and a half hour but we felt like only 15 minutes. we arrived in Nabire, at the Douw Atorure Airport.
We landed at 3 o'clock, we thought that the government people would be there picked us up. No body showed, no body expecting us so we separated, some called their family, some use the transportation nearby, some of us just waited for the bus. finally the bus came and picked up the the rest of us, it was only me, Martha and Carmel. We settled in our home that night thus the next day, we made an appointment to meet so we could go to Olen's house, she was grieving her father. after that, all of us just totally retired. We'll wait for the next information about our next program, meanwhile I will just work and do whatever I could. HakunaMatata Jah'LewaolgetašŸ˜

 Cemara  Hi, nama ku Cemara. Teman - teman memanggilku Ara, aku sangat senang berbagi. Aku memang tidak tinggi dan besar seperti teman - teman ku yang lain tapi jangan salah yah, aku ini sangat kuat. Aku bisa hidup di tempat yang sangat ekstrim seperti tempat dingin yang bersalju, padang gurun dan bahkan gunung dan lembah maupun pinggiran pantai. Tidak sulit jika kamu ingin mengadopsi aku untuk tinggal dan dekat dengan mu, sangat mudah bagimu untuk menjagaku. Aku jarang meminta lebih, aku selalu mencukupkan diriku dengan apa yang aku punya. Walaupun aku hanya makan sedikit aku tetap berumur panjang, jangan kaget yah kalau misalnya aku ini tumbuh besar bersama kakekmu dan menjadi tempat bermain cucumu. Itu mungkin salah satu alasan mereka menjadikan aku sebagai pohon terang di hari natal, apakah kamu tahu ceritanya? Kamu mungkin juga belum lahir pada jaman itu, waktu dulu mereka berpikir aku adalah pohon yang kekal seperti bayi kecil yang lahir di bulan natal itu. Aku bisa hidu...

JERRY OLIVER SIMUNAPENDI: ANAK PAPUA YANG MENOLAK MENYERAH  2026-02-12 Di pegunungan Rwanda, jauh dari debur ombak Papua, Jerry Oliver Simunapendi menatap langit yang berbeda. Namun satu hal tidak pernah berubah: rindunya pada rumah, dan tekadnya untuk pulang dengan sesuatu yang berguna. Ia tahu, jarak tidak memutuskan identitas. Justru jarak sering membuat seseorang semakin paham, untuk apa ia hidup dan kepada siapa ia harus kembali. Perjalanan Jerry tidak dimulai dari panggung besar. Ia dimulai dari kesempatan yang bagi sebagian orang mungkin terlihat sederhana: program APCEP. Tetapi bagi Jerry, APCEP adalah titik balik—bukan hanya soal belajar, melainkan soal dibentuk. Ia belajar di lingkungan yang mengajarkan disiplin, rasa syukur, keberanian mencoba, dan ketulusan melayani. Ia melihat bagaimana nasihat, perhatian, dan teladan kecil dari orang-orang baik dapat menumbuhkan mental yang kuat. Dari situ, Jerry menangkap satu pelajaran yang jarang diajarkan: karakter dibangun oleh k...

 In Loving Memory of CicišŸ’ Cicilia Mbaubedari   Hari ini aku ingin menulis tentang salah satu orang yang sangat berarti dalam hidupku, seorang sahabat, adik, sekaligus saudara yang begitu aku sayangi;Cicilia Mbaubedari, atau yang akrab kupanggil Cici. Cici lahir di Serui pada tahun 2000, dan Tuhan memanggilnya pulang di tahun 2025 di kota yang sama ia lahir. Ia dibesarkan di Serui dan Waropen sampai menyelesaikan bangku SMP. Setelah itu, ia melanjutkan pendidikan SMA di Pendowo, Magelang, lalu sempat kuliah di Kalimantan sebelum akhirnya pindah ke Jogja, tempat ia menyelesaikan studinya dan meraih gelar sarjana. Cici adalah pribadi yang ceria. Senyumnya manis, tulus, dan selalu hadir meski aku tahu di balik itu ada banyak beban dan kesedihan yang ia pendam. Namun, dia tidak pernah membiarkan orang lain melihat sisi lemahnya. Yang ia tunjukkan selalu ketulusan hati, sapaan hangat, dan semangat hidup yang menular. Bersama Cici, aku belajar apa artinya berbagi cinta. Ia mungk...
