One Story Fragment

in Marapu Land

Time is hard to understand,

But let me sure,

Time has a pleasant arrangement

Time brings us to find truly friends

But, time also lead us to be apart

Among us and them

The Exploring Sumba program from Yogyakarta to Sumba leaves memories and unforgettable experiences in which we can share knowledge and everything. This chance brings us to meet Petrus Maure and Elisabet Novia Listiawati.

Petrus shared his knowledge about multi-media, namely Photoshop and CorelDraw, while Elisabet shared her knowledge related with organic farming and journalism. Started from March 17 – 10 April 2015 we were doing activities together. The remaining days from April 11 – 15 we accompanied them to enjoy nature of East Sumba before they returned to Yogyakarta.

Mondulambi beach and Manubara waterfall were two places that we have promoted to them. They also observed people’s life in Matawai Harangi, Mondulambi village, one of church service point, where people lived in simplicity and facility limitation.

Eventhough we met Petrus and Elisabet for just a moment, but we felt a meaningful feeling of togetherness. We believed that knowledge and experience we have gained will be useful for the sake of humanity besides friendship among young students. (DNY) ***
