The call resounded and reverberated but without sound. Can
only be heard by the owner of the heart room where the sound of the call was
thumping. People often refer to this type of calling as "devotion."
Like a call to Kasma. She is a girl who teaches children in Balong Village,
Ujungloe District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi.
The Teaching Regional Youth Teaching Service (Gerakan
Mengajar Pemuda Daerah Mengabdi) or Gema Pandemi is a project of service
for the youth of Bulukumba in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Born from a
sense of concern and unrest so that Kasma was convinced that he was one of the
people who were called to sweat to work together to educate Bumi Panritalopi.
Pandema's echoes moved to touch the education sector which
was also affected by the disaster effect of covid-19, in addition to the health
and economic sectors. His presence is expected to be able to ease the burden of
thoughts, regulations and policies of the Government of the Regency of
Bulukumba. For Kasma, this condition is a shared responsibility.
"All elements of society can take steps to involve
themselves with their abilities and abilities." Kasma said.
Kasma as a mentor always innovates in teaching. In dealing
with these children, he always tries to find their talents and interests first.
"What children need in the future is no longer just
smart but children who have skills. I also accustom them to time discipline. So
that they have good time management from an early age. Can place when study
time and when play time. I change the learning method every day so that younger
siblings don't get bored studying. The most difficult thing in teaching a child
is to grow his will or mood. If they are happy at the beginning of the lesson,
which of course to the end he is excited. " Kasma parsed the explanation.
One interesting material is Kasma every day I ask the
children in her class to take turns appearing in front of her friends.
Initially maybe just introduce yourself. After that, he told his experience
when he woke up to go back to sleep at night.
"The concept is simple, ask children to do it many times not to train him to be able to talk in front of his friends but to train them to appear in public and not be shy anymore. Because if they get used to it eventually they will. " He said. (*)
