Towards A Better World
Wednesday, 15 April 2015 at about 11.00 Mr. Rahmat,
UN Residence Coordinator Office, Supporting Staff to the UN Resience Representative, open the Launching Event, entitled Blogging Competition with the challenging and interesting theme “Indonesian
Youth Involvement in Implementing the Post-2015 Development Agenda”
Ms Dina (German) will explain something regarding the Milleniun Development Goals (MDGs).
Mr. Romi, will explain something in connection with the steps to join this Blogging Competition. The Committee of this Launching Event for Blogging Competition will choose two best articles to be provided with rewards. Winners of the best articles will be prized with an opportunity to visit one of villages where there's a UN programme.
Ms. Naho also attended this launching event as one of the Committee members.
PURPOSE OF LAUNCHING EVENT
Mr. Rahmat further explained that the purpose of inviting bloggers to the Launching Event, mainly to get them involved in providing articles to show to the World at least, and to the Indonesian Government the important points to be taken care of towards gaining a better world.
Through bloggers, various articles are expected to be submitted along with the idea to improve community expectations for a better world. The articles, hopefully, will be read and seen by the Central Government. The Youth are expected to dig the facts from the field, anywhere, that there are still many who lack the information sumbitted to the Central Government. The role of young people is needed. They have to do something for the sake of Indonesian community welfare to gain a better world.
Look at the young people, college students, many of them graduated from College. We could see how they dedicated their soul and time to help other far away, graduated from one of thelp others far away in some isolated villages -- taught them how to do the right things in life. Ms Fany, graduated from one of the universities in Surabaya was one of them. Ms.Fanny and others spent a year in that isolated village gave assistance to children, in a place that was far from having good facilities and where there're no teacher(s) available. Without doing these activites, nobody in the central government will be aware of that lack of teachers in many isolated villages, say, in Sumba. They have done the voluntary job for one year.

Further explained by Ms. Dina that Indonesia has made a lot of progress, say, in poverty reduction, equitable quality education, gender equality including the role of women, tackling tuberculosis and many other infectious diseases , but there are still a lot of challenges where Indonesia needs to continue its works
The Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) has proposed 17 goals and 169 targets. There are many indicators and each country has their own different indicators, which will be improved gradually in line to their priorities and needs. The negotiation processes are undergoing.
Referring to the above mentioned theme "Indonesian Youth Involvement in Implementing the Post-2015" the Youth are expected to be aware of the fact that there is a gap concerning the development in Sumatera and Jawa islands compare to the one from Papua province and Eastern of Indonesia. These cases have to be investigated. The Youth are expected to do the survey and dig into as much information as possible through the survey and write them in their reports. Find the facts why should these imbalances and different treatments occur. Speaking about the report prepared by the Statistic Bureau in some instances they are not exactly in line with the real conditions of situation. Something has changed without any notice. The survey should be done again.
How are we going to end or at least to decrease poverty? In what way are we going to make people free from illiterate or the possible way for them to get a better education. The young people should fight or involve in implementing the improvement.
The big question now appeared: How are you going to do this task? In my opinion, the purpose of UN in Indonesia invited bloggers to this event were aiming at the most important point: Encourage and makng yourselves to be braved and involved in implementing the possibility for a better world. To lessen the illiterate people is one of the goals included in MDGs. The more people who can read the more poverty can be reduced. Believe it. Let's see the picture of a young lady below.
What does she do? She is teaching young students to write and read to grab a better education for their future.
By preparing a report like the one she wrote on her blog, high ranking people and the government will understand that somewhere, out there, a number of teachers are still needed, and, of course, a budget should be allocated for this purpose. Her efforts and dedications are towards a better world.

BalasHapusYup, especially the involvement of the Youth. You're right, bloggers are expected, as I've posted in the above article, to expand and inspire the Youth to do the action through the content of their articles.
HapusAwesome, Bunda.
BalasHapusThus, I love the title "Towards better world", something we are all longing for.
"Towards A Better World" was the first thing came into my mind when planning to do the article. I hope the content, e.g. lby clicking the video and the link will touch the heart of the Youth to encourage themselves to do the survey. Thanks a lot for visiting my blog, Ratna.

BalasHapusMakasih pujiannya, Kedai Jelly Gamat Gold G. Makasih juga sudah mampir ke blog Bunda.
HapusGreat info, Bunda!!
BalasHapusIMHO, the most important thing is the continuation of MDG program so that prosperous development is spread all over the country.
Another project: prepare, recruit and educate the youth as agents of change to participate in this program. We need more young people with emphaty and dedication to involve their positive actions more in this kind of program.
Hopefully, UN and our government can gain their major goal: properity and development for the citizens soon. Of course, we can participate, too, in our neighbourhood: make a better place for everyone.
As MJ once said:"Make a better place for you and for me. Heal the world!"
Keep inspiring with your writing, Bunda!
Lots of love.

friddaherlina, my dear, the purpose of my writing is, to be honest, exactly to invite the Youth to participate in this Blogging Competition with their own different opinions, but in one aim: towards a better world. In MDGs include so many points to be tackled by each country who signed the Millenium declaration. The Youth is expected to do similar activity as shown in video attached to this article. Unwritten information are hidden and are able to be studied from that video and the link given. Fridda, thank you for visiting my blog.
BalasHapusBunda, Muantaaabb !! Ajarin dooong! Hehe, semangat menulis terus yaa...:)
BalasHapusHayuu.... Makasih buat "muantaaabb"-nya. Biasalah, ide koq kudu dipaksaain muncul, ketahuan nih bukan blogger sejati, huhuuu.... Makasih kunjungan Mutia ke blog Bunda.
BalasHapusIt will be another big home work for all of us...When it comes to empowering the youth, including many of us, post 2015 Development Agenda is not the only framework available, but indeed one of the most important one. I do agree with some of the points made here and to me, the most important aspect of all these efforts is how to make the real impact on the ground. All the best, Bunda...
BalasHapusindah nuria Savitri, thank you for being here in my blog. Let's hope by participating this Blogging Competition, many Youth will realize investigations have to be undertaken to make the real good impact towards, at least, a better life for people all over the world..
