Bakti Desa

Bakti Desa is an annual internal SMAN 3 Bandung's program. This is the program that we go to the village for 3 days and we worked with the people at that village. The purpose of Bakti Desa is we can feel how to see the world through their eyes. Bakti Desa held on Thursday, 23rd of October 2014, until Saturday, 25th of October 2014. At first day (Thursday), first we gathered at SMAN 3 Bandung at 6 a.m. We went there by public transportation (angkot). We went to the location at 8 a.m because we had to prepare our packing first. We arrived at Desa Resmi Tingal at 10 a.m. First, we gathered at Balai Desa, and then we sit to did an Opening of Bakti Desa. In the opening, our headmaster, Mr. Encang, spoke and gave us a speech about this program. After that, the Mayor of the village was also gave us a speech. After that, we lunch at Balai Desa with the prasmanan menu. After we finished eating, we went to our house in the village. We were divided in a group, which one group consist by 4 or 3 people. I'm on the Group 1 Putri, the member is female students in my class from absent 1 until absent 4. My group's house was at RW 08. The parents in my house was Bapak Amang Enan. He worked as the helper in the mosque (like sweeping the mosque, etc.), and his wife worked as the gardener. This is the picture of Bapak Amang's house.

We walked to the hill, and then we can saw the view of the mountain. It was very very cold. But it was very amazing and I looove it.

On the first day, we pray Maghrib at the mosque. We also followed the "Pengajian", it was very nice. We prayed Isya at the mosque too. After we finished pray, we came back to our house. At 8 p.m., my class gathered at RW 08, we did the bonfire. It was very wonderful. We talked to each other, and that moment made me very happy. The second day, i with my friends went to the river. The river is soooooo far from our house, so we must walked through the steep hill. It was quite difficult.

At the night, there was a little event at Balai Desa. Because of the Islam new Year, the people at the village did the Pawai Obor. It was very cool. After pawai obor, there was some bonfire in Balai Desa. The third day, in the morning, we gathered in the mosque to do the counselling (education) about health. The speaker was from our class, and Kang Dito from Faculty of Medicine Maranatha University. The audience were the people that lived in Desa Resmi Tingal. After we did the counselling, we prepared our bags and put it in Balai Desa. After that, we waited for the transportation. We came back to Bandung at 11.30 a.m. We arrived at SMAN 3 Bandung on 2.30 p.m. I was tired, and also my bag was really heavy, but Bakti Desa was very awesome! So many lessons that I can took from these 3 days. This was really worth.
