I sat on my desk and then wrote this poem,

the poem of S A L T that changes my life

   SALT is innate capacity of being human;

   to listen and to be listened, to trust and to be trusted;

   that make me feel like I'm an angle;

   an angle with two wings that make me fly and seize my dream;

I saw my Beyond's friend mingled with people,

the poem of S A L T that influence my working style

   SALT is systematic may of…

Further, my surprising even more when I listened to Siti's stories on her life struggling as single mother on taking care of her kids who is now a chef at Australia  and a stewardess.  Another lady, whom her husband are in jail told her story while other…

I need a lot of time to grabs and to understand the essence from my experiences as coach of CLC. What could I do as a person to reveal what I believe on thinking and working into doable activities that inspire others of beauty of life and beauty of understanding.  No longer work as a professional on reproductive health, population and gender it makes me uneasy somehow. I almost forget that I personally Salty and able to learn and work on the new issue and new circumstances, but in fact I…

This blog is my unfinished work on Family Planing Competence that, actually, I really want to share.  I remember one of my colleague told me not too much established such a competence unless I would be know for sure that all of CLC mechanisms had been completely implemented.

As we already known that Indonesia was center of excellent of FP programme and awarded Population Awards from UNFPA at 1990s.  However, after reformation era, FP was no longer priority of national development…

This is what I feel about person capacity to be able to facilitate CLCP. I'm too worry about giving opportunity to person who actually able to be facilitator but she/he has not already attending TOF or learning event and the like. It's about how to ensure that SALT and CLCP been learned, , shared and transferred without any project intervention or money support. I don't know why I personally been really evoked and involved at this SALT and CLCP things. I just feel that, borrowing Olivia's…

Up until last two facilitations I made I was still not understand what can I learn as a person and a facilitator from this AAR activity. This was then revealed at an accident. I heared from a participant of salt visit I facilitated that I did conduct…
