Heading To The Ground

Pada minggu pertama, kedatangan kami di Desa Madurejo, aktivitas kami meliputi persiapan pembukaan kembali perpustakaan RCBL. Kami mendata dan mengatur buku-buku hasil sumbangan Civitas Akademika Universitas Budi Luhur yang telah dikumpulkan dan akan diaktifkan untuk keperluan perpustakaan RCBL.

Koordinasi Tim RCBL 2 berlangsung menyenangkan

Kami juga mengadakan sosialisasi dengan masyarakat sekitar tentang program-program yang akan kami laksanakan selama kami melaksanakan KKN. Koordinasi ini melibatkan Karang Taruna Desa Madurejo, Gumarang, Ibu-ibu PKK Desa Madurejo, dan sounding ke sekolah-sekolah di Desa Madurejo dan sekitarnya untuk menarik kunjungan masyarakat ke Perpustakaan RCBL.

Sebelum mulai terjun ke Masyarakat, kami berdelapan mendapatkan kesempatan untuk bersilaturahmi, sowan ke rumah Bapak Djaetun, Pendiri Yayasan Budi Luhur Cakti, di daerah Klaten.

Bagi saya pribadi, ini bukanlah kunjungan biasa, saya memperoleh pengetahuan dan wejangan yang sangat luar biasa dari beliau. Ketika berbincang face to face dengan Bapak, saya merasa lebih dekat sehingga makna cerdas berbudi luhur yang selama ini saya peroleh dari mata kuliah Wawasan Budi Luhur benar-benar dapat saya resapi. Kecerdasan tanpa diimbangi dengan keluhuran budi, akan digunakan untuk merugikan orang lain. Sedangkan Budi luhur yang kita miliki tanpa diimbangi kecerdasan hanya akan membuat keluhuran budi kita dimanfaatkan orang lain.

Selama 2 minggu ke depan, kami berdelapan tidak hanya akan diberi kesempatan untuk mengajar dan mendampingi anak-anak untuk belajar, tetapi juga termotivasi untuk memberdayakan kegiatan kemasyarakatan dan kepemudaan di Desa Madurejo, Sleman, Yogyakarta.

Anak-anak Desa Madurejo sangat antusias mengunjungi Perpustakaan RCBL

Kami tambah bersemangat dalam melaksanakan program-program kami setelah melihat antusiasme sambutan masyarakat terhadap kedatangan kami yang begitu luar biasa.

RCBL stands for Rumah Cerdas Berbudi Luhur (Intelligent Home Virtuous). It is a public service program that engages the whole civitas Academica of Budi Luhur Cakti Education Foundation.  This Program inspired by the ideals of the founders of the Foundation Mr. Drs. HS. Djaetun  to establish a library in the village to support science and literature sources affordability for people who are less able to access book as a source of information and knowledge. RCBL Program finally realized with the establishment of TBM (Taman Baca Masyarakat) RCBL at Madurejo village, Prambanan, Sleman District, Yogyakarta. As executor of the RCBL Program, Budi Luhur Foundation Cakti involves selected students from various faculties at the University and College Secretary of Budi Luhur. Students who participate in the program of RCBL are selected through RCBL KKN scholarship program.
