Traveling and Teaching 8 : Trauma Healing for children Refugees of Mount Agung
Hi! Here I’m coming back again, after missing a while busy with my campus
life.Fyi now I’m a Senior student, have to finish my bachelor thesis, and will
be a bachelor soon! OMG actually I’m not ready for it, because after finishing
my clinical study, I have to go to the Hospital to continue my clinical
clerkship a.k.a. Coass. All medical students know that being a Coass is not
easy, we have to be a strong student to survive that life for 2 years. I hope I
can survive, and finish my clinical clerkship well.
Before I’m going to continue my study, I enjoyed my free time for joining
traveling and teaching (TnT) again. It was good could be back to this activity.
I like teaching children, and very love camping for the traveling. Finally I joined TnT8 after my
last TnT was TnT2. The 8th Traveling and Teaching, was a little bit different
from the others TnT, on this TnT we went to Mount Agung refugees in Pasar
Seni Manggis, Karangasem. The refugees were come from Bebandem village which is counted
of dangerous zone for the Mount Agung eruption.
We went there to give trauma healing for children there. My friends and I,
did some outdoor activities (like dancing and playing games), and we also did
indoor activities like coloring a pictures, and make a clock and learn about
it.We weren’t only taught Elementary School students on this TnT, but also
taught Junior High school student who are staying there. They were really
antusiast with what we taught for them. Our lesson wasn’t that hard so they
could understand easily. They wanted to ask when they didn’t know and
antusiasted to raise their hand for answering a question from us. We also gave
them information about the important of good nutrition. We spent our time about
three hours with them. Felt so blessed could met them and taught them.

After finishing teaching them,we went to our camping place in Asah hill. I
never been going there, but some of my friends told that so many dust in Asah
hill, but last week when I was there, it was so beautiful. The camping place
was so greeny. I thought that someone is taking care of this hill now. Asah
hill is a camping place in Karangasem which is near with virgin beach (the
white sand beach). We were in the hill, but we also could see a sea. I Felt like was arounded by sea. We built the
tents just in front of the seaand in the morning we could see sunrise just from our tent. At the back, we
could see Mount Agung. Yes, we know that mount Agung is in the beware
level, and until know we don’t know when it will be explode. Agung mountain
from far is very beautiful, it’s big and restful even though it still pulled
out the fog. If you want to visit Bali, I think Bali is still safe to visit,
until now there wasn’t a big differences for travel, provided that you
shouldn’t go to the dangerous zone that have been made from the goverment.
Still so many safe areas in Bali, and enjoy your holiday!

In the night, we gathered and had our dinner. We didn’t make a camp fire because the place is very modern. There was a lamp that lighted us. So we prefered to use a lamp than made a camp fire. After having diner, we sang a song together, talked to know each other, gave our comments about what we did today, and was ended with played Werewolf.When you do camping, this game is a must! (if you wanna now, I have explained about this game before on my last article). We played this game for about 5 turn, and after that we went back to our tent and slept.
In the next day, I woke up in the early morning and saw sunrise like what I
always do when camping. The sunrise was so beautiful from Asah hill. You know,
I really love looking for sunsrise, It makes me feel relax, and forget all of
my sadness. (maybe on the next post I will make an article about some beautiful
sunrise place in Bali). Seeing sunrise is make me start a new day with a
happines. We took some photos there, with some uniqe style. At 7 a.m, we
started to clean up our camping place, and after that we played some games.

For the games, we were grouped into four different groups, with uniqe
names. We made our jargons for each groups to make our groups more rookery. We
played 4 games. The first one was “guessing words games” and continued with “how long is yours?” kind a
weird names for a games, and for the last two games I just forget the name of
the games. Our group won the first place (yash!) and we got some snacks for the
present.

At 9 a.m after playing games, we prepared our self to go back to Denpasar.
After taking some full squad photos, we cleaned up again, had our breakfast,
and went back home. Good bye my beautiful and productive weekend! See ya when I
see ya again. Hopefully I still can join some events like this for next year.
I think we as Balinese people who cares with the refugees should know that
for now, They start lack of donations, especially for foods. Didn’t like
before, when they was like “ we got too many foods donation and confused what
should we make first.” Now they was like “we just eat with these same menu all
days, and sometimes lack of the food stuffs.” (so maybe for volunteers who want
to give some donation, you can give some vegetables, meat, or something that
they can consume). Not only that problem, children there should get some
motivation from us, for keeping their up. Keep they to always happy with their
place. Yes I know it will be difficult to make them like with their place now,
but ya give them some motivation and playing games with them will make them
happy, because in the other condition, when one of my friend aksed the refugee
about their feeling their new school. They were like “I just wanna go home, my
new friends like to ask me buy snacks for
them in canteen. When we should make a group for a task, they didn’t want to
ask us in their group, so the teacher will asked them to invite me.” It just
hurt my feeling heard that they weren’t treated good.
