Eunike and ARI

I felt so relief ... when I have received news of the Asian Rural Institute last Friday 1 November 2013, that I was accepted for a training program in April to December 2014.
Happy ... of course, because it’s a chance that I've been waiting for since 2010.
This is a non-degree, not S2 or S3. But this is very precious to me and I can definitely learn a lot of things, meet with people from various countries to proceed together to produce something important to share with my institution and my community.
Maybe the money is not the main for me, but something that will not be lost. And that's what I'm looking at ARI.
However all of this began in 2002 (eleven years ago) when I started my studies in "Trukajaya campus" I live in the village Jlarem, then assigned to other villages and the longest live in Rambat Kedungombo, until assignment to Central Sulawesi and last into Organic Farming Tim Church and accompany Randurejo village. I really shaped not only by the most strenuous as a field worker but also time and other factors.
I'm really grateful to my leader of my institution, once my discussion, which although some times it happens that we seem not to support each other but eventually we became a good team that successfully proven with I was accepted at ARI.
He also participated forge me since 2002 on my way in the forefront of our institution. And when I became Program Manager, I was hammered hard, almost desperate because of the lack of support both in front and behind.
Anyone and anyway, I'm very grateful for all meritorious establish myself and my character now. Including my capacity now, I believe it is formed from environmental attitudes and events around me until I meet the qualifications for to ARI. That's why I really want to dedicate my learning in ARI for this institution.

Yes ... I feel the struggling and my long waiting is also part of the maturity process.
Initially I was offered the leadership for the application in 2011 (so to depart 2012) but was hampered by wrong info that ARI is not for the farming background. I felt broken heart and decided to give up the dream of that learning.
But my mind is never quiet with "wrong info" that which later led to the continuous browsing, when I got an answer and a new hope, I got a blessing that preceded it. Yes, I got my second pregnant. So I had to pass on to other friend opportunities that may qualify. As it turned out, he did not meet the required qualifications, we have tried. Maybe it could be a lesson to be fair without ignoring the existing potential.
In 2013 after maternity leave, I reaffirms my intention to achieve a dream at ARI.
My journey in the year 2013 was not easy. I have to run the program with the toughest new donors, with the largest budget and I have to be alone at the beginning of this year (February 2013), while other programs remain the rest of a few activities and small budgeting but it done by a lot of people.
I interpret it positively, as a tribute to my capacity and .... maybe it became exercise before going to ARI (if I were being accepted).
Management agency has arranged everything. And when I see the work plan and budget, it is true that all the strenuous activities laid out in this first year, as long as I hold. While year to 2 and 3 to stay remnants and advanced.
But it did not dampen my steps to take care of applications to ARI that can be said mostly done independently. I also have to diligently urge leaders to follow up the domain that I should not see-through. All it let me not too late.
Including the need to seek financial support, it also I have to have a big role of attention and do a lot of things: the correspondence and communication to stakeholders. This is what might distinguish my process with previous friends.
When the director announced and congratulated on accomplishments received at ARI, he also said something that impressed me, that: there was a time in which like-dislike and barriers among fellow were developed here, but that time has passed. We must dare to open the barriers and begin to ask ourselves about the role and function of each of these institutions. One success is proof that we begin to open up the barriers that only hard working and do not give up that can lead us achieve many occasions, is no longer about a close friend.
I was impressed but not agree entirely. Competition traversed tinged with many obstacles and finally succeeded, different fixed me with opportunities, positions and facilities that are giving, without a struggle.

Friction between us all in this institution is its intermittent. That is because we are different thinking. Such a beautiful rainbow in the sky bright ... after the rain.
Must maintain unity in plurality, means must be mutual tolerance to all parties.
It would not ignore the apparent tolerance voice of the people for the sake of the oppressed people.

Many who gave survived because I express my joy at my Facebook status, but is just beginning. Future steps will be more severe, especially I had to leave my family especially my little Nikko. But I myself intend and requires a willingness of all parties to departure so that I can do my job well, go home and give the best for all.
