By Leave a Comment

The students learned about safety driving from the Traffic Police Department. It’s dangerous if they didn’t understand the rules of riding. Riding a motorcycle or driving a car without a proper safety driving lesson is not only a hazard to the rider but also other occupants in traffic. Nowadays, many of us ride a motorcycle here in Indonesia. The motorcycle has more risk than a car. Today we are focusing more on motorcycle safety.

Wear the correct gear and helmet are reducing the probability of suffering a head injury and other wounds in the event of a crash. Why do they need to pay lots of attention to learning motorcycle safety? Firstly, because of the increasing number of drivers using their phones while they are behind the wheel. Secondly, because of road obstacles that won´t harm a car can be a hazard on a bike.

Furthermore, always keep prudential distance with cars and other vehicles. Stay safe and happy riding!

Last week the students had sewing projects by recycling old clothes to become something that we can donate to charity, sell or use them on our own. Also creating awareness of clothing recycling. Restyling, upcycling are all ways of eking a bit of extra life out of a garment. It does not only help the environment but also makes the students more creative.

After some discussion, they decided to make bags. We appreciate Ms. Ane for volunteering by helping, communicating and discusses with our students. They learn the basics of hand-sewing and information about the importance and benefit of recycling the used item.

Making a bag of their own is a wonderful challenge. Some students said It’s even more satisfying about making things on their own then it becomes something useful. Yes! The joy of constructing something with your hands never gets old. They are blissful with the result. They bring it home and use it on their own.
