Pak Kartino visited Pak Herli

Last holiday, Pak Herli went to Indonesia. He met with Pak Kartino in his home in Ciamis City, West Java Province. Can you find its location in Google Map?. Pak Kartino told him that he will move to other school. So he is no longer working for Bikun Primary School. Pak Kartino such a hard working teacher to help established initially the link between Carra PS and SD Bikun. " I really missed him" said Pak Herli. We talked a lot about the ways to develop the relationship even he is not there.

After lunch, we said good bye and hugged each other. He should go home to Kuningan Regency which is a north far from Ciamis. It is such a memorable journey that he made. I believe much sacrifices has been put by him to meet me. Thank you Pak Kartino. Please stay tone and always keep in touch no matter where you teach. All the best wish for your carrier in your new school (HS. 8/2010)

Last holiday, Carra students went for holiday. They did some activities which were grouped as holiday at: going to city, doing sport, visiting relatives, participating in a social function, having eating in a restaurant, and flying in a plane. They drew pictures which told their wonderful experience. The pictures are very beautiful and colorful. It is really told us their real experience. Some of their pictures can be seen in the blog. However, the blog could not be able to take all the pictures. Mrs. Sue Mc Gregor will organize the pictures for Bikun students. Carra students hope the picture can maintain the relationship between two schools: Carra Primary School and Bikun Primary Schools (HS/SM)

BIKUN'S ODD SEMESTER TEST AND GOING PICNIC TO BOROBUDUR TEMPLE CENTRAL JAVA

Hi, Carra. All of Bikun Students had done The Odd semester test from 14th to 17th of December 2009. They did local and International test items. 21st-22nd of December 2009, they are going to go picnic to Borobudur Temple, a famous tourist object in Central Java.The students of Bikun are going to receive the Report Progress at the 24th of December 2009 and next is Holiday time. How about Carra's concert?
We hope it is going to run well, amen.(Kartino)

Buddhist marvel of stone standing in the garden of Java, Indonesia

The Borobodur Temple complex is one of the greatest monuments in the world. It is of uncertain age, but thought to have been built between the end of the seventh and beginning of the eighth century A.D. For about a century and a half it was the spiritual centre of Buddhism in Java, then it was lost until its rediscovery in the eighteenth century. The structure, composed of 55,000 square meters of lava-rock is erected on a hill in the form of a stepped-pyramid of six rectangular storeys, three circular terraces and a central stupa forming the summit. The whole structure is in the form of a lotus, the sacred flower of Buddha. One of the ninety-two Dhyani Buddha statues enclosed in stupas For each direction there are ninety-two Dhyani Buddha statues and 1,460 relief scenes. The lowest level has 160 reliefs depicting cause and effect; the middle level contains various stories of the Buddha's life from the Jataka Tales; the highest level has no reliefs or decorations whatsoever but has a balcony, square in shape with round walls: a circle without beginning or end. Here is the place of the ninety-two Vajrasattvas or Dhyani Buddhas tucked into small stupas. Each of these statues has a mudra (hand gesture) indicating one of the five directions: east, with the mudra of calling the earth to witness; south, with the hand position of blessing; west, with the gesture of meditation; north, the mudra of fearlessness; and the centre with the gesture of teaching. Devotional practice of circumambulate around the galleries and terraces. Besides being the highest symbol of Buddhism, the Borobodur stupa is also a replica of the universe. It symbolises the micro-cosmos, which is divided into three levels, in which man's world of desire is influenced by negative impulses; the middle level, the world in which man has control of his negative impulses and uses his positive impulses; the highest level, in which the world of man is no longer bounded by physical and worldly ancient desire. It is devotional practice to circumambulate around the galleries and terraces always turning to the left and keeping the edifice to the right while either chanting or meditating. In total, Borobodur represents the ten levels of a Bodhisattva's life which he or she must develop to become a Buddha or an awakened one.

Makasih Siswa Carra

Terima kasih banyak atas semua surat surat dari murid murid dari Bikun. Murid murid Carra senang sekali menerimanya. Sekarang di Carra kita sibuk sekali karena menyiapkan untuk konser pada 17 Desember, setelah itu akan menjalani liburan. Guru guru juga sibuk sekali karena mereka harus menulis laporan untuk semua murid di kelas. Salam Ibu Sue.

Terima Kasih Ibu Sue ....

Ibu Sue mengirim email kepada saya. Ia mengatakan " terimakasih atas kiriman paketnya dari Bikun. Wah, banyak hadiah nih dan bagus-bagus. Saya sangat menikmati persahabatan ini. Saya juga mengucapkan terimakaksih atas semua yang telah Pak Kartino lakukan untuk Carra. Semoga persahabatan ini akan terus berlangsung " demikian kata Bu Sue. Dalam foto nampak Bu Sue memegang kiriman paket pos dari Bikun yang baru Ia ambil dari pos. Persahabatan Bikun dan Carra sudah semakin erat. Silakan dicari kegiatan bersama yang dapat meningkatkan persahabatan ini. Bagaimana proyek pembuatan 'tape' apakah bisa dikerjakan? Surat para murid juga mungkin perlu ditingkatan baik via pos maupun via email. Untuk via email sedang dipikirkan pembuatan miling list antara kedua sekolah, sehingga surat murid tidak tampil di ruang publik. Hal ini untuk mempertimbangkan 'privacy murid' yang bersangkutan. Ada pendapat? (HS, 2009)

Bikun MOU

Bikun Primary School Kuningan West Java accomplished to make an MOU. This MOU will be sent to Carra PS and International Division Department of Education and Early Childhood Development in Victoria Australia. In Indonesia, the MOU most probably will be sent to Departement of Education Kuningan Regency, Department of Education West Java Province in Bandung, and Directorate Overseas Educational Cooperation, Departement of National Education (Direktorat Kerjasama Pendidikan Luar Negeri, Diknas Jakarta). In Victoria perspectives, this MOU can be attached to seek support to “Bridge Program” which support sister school program. It also can be used

for seeking funding to NLSS Program. In Indonesia views, financial can be sought by sending a proposal to Directorate KLN in Jakarta. SDN Bikun is also sent Carra PS a package via mail.It certainly takes time to reach Carra at Londrigan. This is hoped to forge and to boost on-going educational relationship between the two schools. Bikun will be more than happy to receive news when the package reached Carra. Congratulation to you all(HS,2009)

Kegiatan Bikun dan Gempa Sumbar

Just recently West Sumatra / Padang area rocked by a devastating earth quake. It damaged many facilities. Many schools collapsed. Thousands of houses suddenly turned into rubble. Many children suddenly became orphans. They need help from other friends. Bikun students have raised donation appeal. The students organized events and they invited parents to donate anything that could help Padang people to go through their hard time. They successfully gained some money, clothes, noodles, blankets, canned food, etc. They gave the donation to the committee in Kuningan Regency to be delivered to Padang. This was a good activity for the students to feel sympathy to those who are in calamity said Pak Kartino. He also wants his students to be more sensitive to others life and good occasion to train them to be generous people.


Pak Kartino also informed me that he would like to send Carra a package. The package is meant to cement the on-going educational relationship between Carra and Bikun. He hopes that the friendship would intensify in the near future. He also said that the MOU draft is on the process of signing by the person in charged, and it will soon be posted to Carra. He is eager to establish an everlasting relation, that is why he proposes to innitiate a joint project with Carra, in order to maintain the relationships (Compiled by HS).

Tape Singkong

GETTING TO KNOW THE MATERIALS
Preparation of a tape ketan /singkong starter material called ragi tape was described by using pure cultures of A. rouxii, S. cerevisiae, P. anomale (HA 122) and P. anomale (HA 893) grown on rice. In a fermentation experiment this self-produced ragi tape was compared with a commercial available ragi tape (NKL). In addition to that, the growth of fungi, yeast and bacteria as well as the biochemical changes during the fermentation process of tape ketan were monitored. To do this, samples were taken periodically after 0, 5, 10, 15, 24, 36, 48 and 60 h fermentation with a commercially available starter (Tebu) at 30 degrees C. Samples were analysed for DM, ash, total N, soluble N, glucose before and after hydrolysis, ethanol, lactic acid, pH and viable cell count. Results show that a palatable product was ready for consumption after 48 h. Finally, tape ketan was prepared using two different samples of Indonesian ragi tape (Tebu) as inoculum and the products were compared by their nutritional constituents.
*************************
Tape singkong sudah terkenal di mana-mana, murah, lezat, dan menyenangkan. Tape yang sudah terkenal adalah tape ( peuyeum ) bandung. Peuyeum Bandung banyak yang menyukainya, karena manis rasanya dan tidak berair. Andapun dapat membuat tape sendiri, karena caranya tidaklah sukar. Adapun bahan-bahannya adalah: singkong yang sudah tua 2 kg, ragi tape yang manis ( dapat dibeli di toko bahan kue / pasar tradisional ). Sedangkan alat-alat yang diperlukan: pisau pengupas, panci untuk mengukus plus tutupnya, kompor, nyiru / tampah bambu, cobek / cowek dan munthunya untuk menepungkan ragi tape, daun pisang secukupnya dan bakul dari bambu.

Cara pembuatannya adalah: singkong dikupas kulitnya, kemudian dicuci bersih, dipotong-potong atau dibiarkan utuh. Lalu ditanak dalam panci sampai setengah matang, setelah itu singkong diangkat dan ditata / diangin-anginkan di atas nyiru sampai dingin, ragi ditumbuk sampai halus, singkong dilumuri tepung ragi satu persatu sampai merata betul, kemudian ditempatkan dalam bakul bambu yang sudah dialasi / dilambari daun pisang secara rapat / merata, isi sampai bakul tsb penuh, setelah penuh tutup rapat bakul dengan daun pisang dan tambahkan kain yang diikat rapat sebagai penutup.

5. Taburkan ragi halus ke singkong-singkong yang sudah dingin sampai rata.
6. Sediakan tempat untuk menyimpan singkong yang sudah ditaburi ragi tersebut, bias memakai plastic ataupun memakai daun pising atau daun jati.
7. Peram bungkusan singkong tersebut kurang lebih 3 hari
8. Setelah 3 hari bukalah bungkusan singkong tersebut, dan tape singkong siap dinikmati.

Ucapan Terimakasih Bu Sue

Bu Sue Mc Gregor, telah memberi tahu Pak Herli bahwa para siswa telah menerima paket kiriman dari Pak Herli Salim. Paket itu berisi peta dan brosur tentang Indonesia. Dalam kiriman itu ada pula 2 buah CD yang berisikan penjelasan tentang budaya dan tempat wisata di Indonesia. Bu Sue mengatakan bahwa anak-anak SD Carra sangat senang menenerima kiriman ini, dan mereka mengucapkan terimakasih kepada para siwa SD Bikun atas kirimannya. Sebetulnya, surat email itu disertai foto para murid Carra, tapi Pak Herli mendapatkan kesulitan untuk mendowloadnya, sehingga tidak bisa ditampikan. Mungkin nanti akan ditampilkan lagi bila sudah bisa di download. Untuk itu mohon maaf. Pak Herli juga menerima kabar dari Pak Kartino bahwa para siswa Bikun sedang menyiapkan kiriman paket selanjutnya yang akan beliau kirim langsung dari Kuningan Indonesia ke Londrigan. Saat ini Pak Kartino sedang menyiapkan MOU SD Bikun buat SD Carra. Nanti bila sudah selesai akan dikirim ke SD Carra (HS, 2009).
