In
what ways is your organization currently providing free computer and Internet
services to the public? How is your approach and/or program innovative? The
term “innovative” may apply to the programs, services, or methods used in
providing free computer and Internet services.\
Our internet operational
costs
were financed
by
the profits
of seeds sales
to the government or other institutions, which are the main fund
raising efforts of our foundation. The effort itself was made upon the work of many hands. Rural
communities are very grateful upon our good deeds. As we help provide education and skills to their children through the available computers and
internets at the beginning, they are willing to help our foundation
programs,
primarily
programs of
rehabilitation
and
conservation.
Together with
the communities and their children, our foundation has planted
80
acres of
mangrove area
independently,
and has the seed to sell.
However,
we will continue to find source and funds to facilitate the levelling demand of
information. As the foundation developed, we have became a source
of news on rural areas,
mainly
on
rural
technology,
home industry,
market information,
related matters to
climate change and global
warming,
and other use
of
rural
communities’ development and the environment conservation. Through these interactions, the
users of our services may learn about our activities and become YPMMD main supporter, and hopefully become
our cadre in environment preservation.
6.
Please
describe how other organizations might learn from your innovative approach and
replicate your activities within their communities. Have your activities been
replicated by other organizations in your region and/or internationally? Have
your activities been published in scholarly literature as examples of best practices?
If these are not applicable, please describe what makes your approach practical
for other organizations. Please be as specific as possible.
What we
think as the key of our effort is how we
practice the respect for local communities, local wisdom, and doing good for
the benefit of the community.
Our organization is
located in the
village, about
35 km
from the
district, or
112 km
from the
provincial capital. In town, Internet services performed
as an
individual
effort
at a cost of
IDR 4000 /
hour.
No organization
/ individuals
perform
internet
service
in our area for
free, except
those in government
office (for
employees).
Currently, there are no
publication in any scientific literature we have so far. However, it can be figured that Internet and computers was first introduced in our area
in 2000. Even
after five years, in 2005, computers and the internet
is something
that is impossible
for
to use for some
people, particularly the children and youth from underprivileged families.
Believing on the importance of technology for everyone, our organization
initiated a
basic
computer
training
programs
for
children
and youth
around
our region.

12. Please
briefly summarize why you feel your organization’s work should be considered
for this award.
We have
a value on which we hold on to and which has driven us this far. We believe
that natural resources preservation can only be sustained through social awareness. It is inevitable, however, that this awareness can only works when
social welfare is attained. Therefore, in our village, which is predominated by fishermen and
farmers, we have tried our maximum effort to provide free services to initiate
and enhance both knowledge and skills for children and youth, especially in
Basic English training, computer training, and free internet service. This way,
many of our trainees could finally get a decent job and improve their family
economy. In return, they voluntarily support our institution program on natural
rehabilitation and conservation.
Why should we be
considered for this award? The answer is because we need it. We need it to give
even better services for the community, a better chance to
develop opportunities. We need it
to raise our people self-esteem. And we need it to achieve the greater impact:
humanitarian welfare and natural sustainability for the better world we lived
in.
We have applied for the award the previous year and highly appreciated the
feedback given by the committee. We hope we will have meet the expectation
closer in this application. If additional information is needed, feel free to
have us provide it.
