Saturday, October 8th 2023, was a National holiday (Maulid Nabi, Birth of Prophet Muhammad), which meant for the students and the staff of YAPENTRA: Gotong Royong.
Gotong Royong, for those who don’t know, means literally “mutual assistance”, though in our case it is an event where everyone in the YAPENTRA community cleans up the campus together side by side.
The event started at 7.30 am in the morning, so that it would not be too hot to work outside. First of all, everyone put their mattresses and pillows outside to air them out. Then, the work has been split up in groups: The girls’ dorms are focusing on cleaning up the area at the water tank, where there are lots of wild weeds and other greenery are growing. The boys’ dorms were taking care of the two ponds of the campus, where there is unfortunately, lots of trash floating around. Naturally, the staff members of the school are not spared from the hard work: Their job is to clean up the greenery next to the guest house, as well as sorting out through the fire wood. Finally, the Gotong Royong ended at 9.30 am - everyone was dirty, sweaty and exhausted, but it was also a fun bonding activity for everyone.
Not only does it build a deeper sense of community spirit and a humble character, but it also helps to keep our campus clean, while getting everyone, regardless of age or status, involved.
