ARRIVALS ...........
Mr. Agus Cahya Gumilar |
The class assignment was last year (in April ,
2015); scheduled for 3 terms (supposedly 1 term will last in three months) 4
hours a day and four meetings in a week. So namely for 1 class we had 16 hour
meeting in a week while the regular class will have 22 hours in a three month
term. So 1 term will last much faster ....... and three terms? Tiring absolutely!
Mr. Apep Wahyudin |
The number of students was 120 consisting of 18
echelons and 102 staffs (oh, by the way, we were teaching civil servants
working in PEMPROV MALUKU, Indonesia). From 120 students, only 70 showed up;
and some .... no news. It was mainly on their busy life's work of full
assignments and tasks given by their bosses. Maluku or Mollucas consists of
more than 1000 islands--big and small--making it difficult for them to return home
on the same day when they were sent to another island to take a tour on duty.
But the shows must definitely go on. We still
taught the students throughout the terms.

Laughter never ceased and left their faces |

THE NATURE HANDICAPS
1. TOPOGRAPHY: Some students took a boat to cross the sea so as to reach the place of study
2. Wheather and Humidity: Hot temperatures and changes of wheather.
3. Rains and Clouds: The rain sometimes never stopped for 24 hours a day and it happened through out the weeks.
4. Storms: This was not good at all since some students had to sail over a sea of wild waves
However, things were occasionally fine too. That was when the air was clear; the sun was brightly shining and all changed our moods to a better one.
Like this for example.......
Or this .....
Or this .....
It's WE TIME to go cruising the waves ....
