Sehari Mengajar, Seumur Hidup Menginspirasi

Volunteers K20 - Kelas Inspirasi Bandung 4

On February 24^th 2016, Hari Inspirasi was held by Kelas Inspirasi Bandung for the fourth time. I joined as a volunteer for photography in this agenda with others 21 volunteers who taking part as Inspirators, photographers, and videographers in Group 20. Group 20 had a duty to conduct Hari Inspirasi at SDN Babakan Priangan 3&5 which is located at Jl Sriwijaya, Ciseureuh, Regol, Bandung 40255.

The preparation was started on February 14^th 2016 but I didn't come to the briefing day. At that day, I supposed to meet others volunteers, acquainted each other and made some plan. So, technically I just join group meeting (three times) and group survey (once) to the school.

At the day, the activity was started with routine gymnastic by the students and following by introducing from us, Group 20 Kelas Inspirasi Bandung 4. Kang Cecep as group leader introduced Hari Inspirasi in general and then each Inspirator introduced them self one by one. After the simple ceremonial and took a photograph, each Inspirator started to come into the class one by one. As the photographer, I had to take the picture of students, inspirators, school condition, and any moment at that day. I saw the chaos in several classes and realise that teaching elementary school is so damn hard.

Joining this activity make me realise that even in a big city like Bandung, the education quality is still not prevalent. Moreover, one of the teachers said only about 40% students who willing to continue their study to junior high school.

I really hope this activity could give them insight into the future, encourage them to take next step to reach their dreams.
