The
presence of Multiplication Program of Stube HEMAT in Sumba answers and helps
young Sumba youth to develop and become qualified young people. Especially for
young women of Sumba with various problems and injustices that they face, will
help them open their mind to keep fighting for their existence as a women who
deserve fair treat like the others. In addition, the program also helps them to
take advantage of the world-blooming local potencies, such as the use and
management of Sumba woven cloth.
On
Saturday, July 11, 2020 became the beginning of our activity with women in
Tanatuku village, Nggaha Ori Angu district, East Sumba regency, East Nusa
Tenggara province. It was attended by 18 female participants and their
attendance lifted the spirit of Elisabeth Uru Ndaya as a Multiplicator of
Stube-HEMAT in Sumba to disseminate and deliver materials related to the
program. The participants were very enthusiastic listening to every material
delivered. Most of them are young women who have graduated from high school and
did not continue their study in university. There were also several students
who are currently and have completed their studies in universities.
The meeting started around 7 P.M WITA (Central Indonesian Time) and it was opened with a prayer by a young gospel teacher, Yuni Njurumbaha. After that, the introduction of Stube-HEMAT and the multiplication program including the aims and objectives of the women's empowerment program through Sumba woven cloth. The following session asked the participants to write their impressions and responses toward the Stube-HEMAT program that will be implemented there. Their responses can be seen from the metaplan they wrote. They were very proud that Stube-HEMAT came for them and they were so much encouraged to join the women's empowerment program.
At
the end of the meeting they committed to attend the following discussion on the
upcoming July 2020. They agreed to meet again in the discussion to learn the
history and origin of Sumba woven cloth. Hopefully, the presence of
Multiplication program of Stube HEMAT in Sumba runs well, will be useful and
the women in Sumba will be more productive. ***
