在亞齊找自己

擔任志工的經驗，或許是另一個找自己的重要過程
Maybe to be a volunteer this summer is a important process to know "who I am?"

2008 E-Mate Green Camp (Medan)

This film was produced by E-Mate IT volunteers of Medan group, and recorded the memory of the students in Medan with us. Thanks to our partners from ESP, OCSP, SOS-OIC, and YEL for the assistance in this program.

My Aceh friends

In Aceh, I made many friends. They are very kind, friendly and enthusiastic. Because of them, I had a great time there. At August 7, the day was the end of our first workshop, they took us to "Jalan-jalan"(travel around) in Aceh. We rent two "labi-labi"(bus). The photo given above was taken in front of the "The first building in Aceh". It's a Acehness tranditional building. The following persons are my friends in Aceh.

Ima and Risma, they two are my first Acehness friends. We met at the beginning of this year in Taiwan. They are international students and also on of E-Mate volunteers. They helped us in learning "Bahasa Indonesia"(Indonesian), translating our teaching meterials to Indonesian version. And in Aceh, they are "wanita cantik"(beautiful girl).
Basrul, he is the best assistant of E-Mate. Our workshop couldn't go smoothly without him. He helped us handling the electrical stuff when power cut, printing our certificates, fixed the computer and teaching us "Bahasa Aceh"(Acehness language). Bas, I really appricaite you for all the things you done for us. Teurimeng Geunaseh!!!Aroel, he is such a lively person. He laughed all the time and always says "I like this", "Best player". During the workshop, he found my special words "Ahmmm and Hmmm" and made fun of me. Orzing...... He was our "Nelly's group" assistant and made the group being the funnest one. Bastami, I have not idea why everybody call you Obama. Even that I still remember your real name. Haha. And you are a good learner of language. You can speak Japaness and you learned Mandarin from us. "Ni hau ma?"
Taufik, my Indonesian teacher. His name is same with a great Indonesian badminton player. Taufik was a participate of Ubuntu workshop. During our second workshop, free software workshop, we needed Indonesian assistant to translate. So he volunteered for group assistant. Taufik, thank you so much! Cut, she is also a wanita cantik in Aceh. When we chatted, she always spoke with graceful tone. I like her tone, haha. And I know she will go to Japan to be a exchanging student in September. Cut, good luck and have fun in Japan.Haris, he is a little crazy guy. He came to Aceh to promote free software. At the first time we met, he seemed familiar for me. I felt we met before. Later, he told me that he also had the same feeling. Wow, it's really cool. And for me, it seemed like I found my Indonesian brother. Sajidin, he is a participate in Ubuntu workshop, and also a member of Unsyiah camping club. Sporty boy! While we had a trip around Aceh, he told us many stories of Aceh and Muslim. He willed to intruduce Aceh to us. Sajidin, you are the best tour guide.

Medan08(風土人物誌03)：壽山宮旁的清真寺

壽山宮：
始建於大清光緒16年(西元1890年)，民國28年菊月(農曆9月)重修，有近120年的歷史，但在印尼排華運動後逐漸沒落，由左而右供奉：太歲星君、天上聖母、觀音、註生娘娘、三寶菩薩、清水祖師、關帝公，左右匾額書寫：壽宇光輝萬國九州皆批德，山嵐秀麗五湖回海盡沾恩。由於管理者非當地人，無法為我們解說太仔細的內容，能取得的資訊相當少。

壽山宮對面的清真寺：

拜訪壽山宮後，我們注意到對面有座黃綠色華麗地交融的清真寺，在劉大哥的打探後帶我們進入訪問，這座清真寺是1830年完成的，與壽山宮為同一建築師，兩者的大門有點類似，混合了中國與土耳其的建築風格，本是紅色，後來才改漆黃色(馬來西亞的清真寺特色)與綠色(回教象徵顏色)，清真寺旁有墓園，每年一次的禁食前信徒都會來掃墓。

(井然有序的墓園 - YC拍攝)

招待我們進來的管理員很仔細地為我們說明這座清真寺的歷史，旁邊尚未蓋好的是由信徒捐贈欲增蓋的新館部分，禱告完後的信徒隨地而坐，其中有位婦女還熱情地跟我們打招呼。

今年的E-Mate志工不僅需要舉辦各項IT工作坊，也要密切跟當地的NGO/ NPO合作，但其實無論信奉什麼宗教，或說著什麼樣的語言，人與人間最有效的溝通都是從一個親切的微笑開始的。

Medan08(風土人物誌02)：Belawan

劉子強大哥除了帶我們探訪棉蘭華人文史古蹟外，也帶我們視察位於Deli River棉蘭北部的港口都市 - 勿拉灣 (Belawan)(劉大哥說聽起來更像「不老灣」)，港口始建於1980年代，是為了提供菸草運輸流通而建置，後來隨著棕櫚油、橡膠業務擴大而逐漸繁榮，在1938年甚至是荷屬東印度公司佔領港口貨物量最大者，至印尼宣布獨立後才逐漸沒落，至1985年隨著貨櫃運輸的興起才又逐漸恢復榮景，目前港口幾乎囊括全印尼1/5的出口貨物，主要出口項目包含橡膠、棕櫚油、茶葉與咖啡。

港口附近多為印尼人居住，但部分建築卻帶有濃厚的華人色彩，是因為原先居住的華人搬遷至市區後，印尼人繼續居住在此，但當地的淨水系統卻相當貧乏，政府能供應棉蘭市全區80%的淨水，但於其他地區可能因為地形、交通偏遠或經濟效益考量而無力管理，供應量小於15%，所以非常需要NGO/ NPO協助淨化污染的水源，E-Mate的棉蘭合作夥伴 - ESP，服務項目中的一項計畫就是為當地居民建置淨水管線設施。

(ESP工作人員-Syafrizald說明ESP的污水淨化計畫)

ESP提出的"Water for the poor"模型，其分工模式採由政府與國外組織提供經費，自來水公司PDAM Tirtanadi與Dinas Perkim Medan分 擔部分污染區主管線的建置，而ESP則協助居民學習利用Master Meters管理社區內的管線，大家一起集合管理與監控水源。利用這樣的管理系統，即時有人偷接水管，網內的前後用戶也會發現水費增加或水量變少而有所警覺，而水公司也僅需要跟社區管理人收費而毋須逐戶收費，社區民眾不僅有乾淨的水源可使用，水費也變得較為便宜，更減輕政府處理污染水源的壓力，可說是一舉多得。
