I got my first experience to be a facililator in PwDs (People with Disabilities) training with others Gempita's member on 27 and 28 February 2010. The training itself was conducted at Ciganjur, Depok, by SEHJIRA (self help organization for PWDs), and as a GEMPITA’s member my capacity at that training was to become a volunteering facilitator.
There was an awesome experience. From my PWDs Friends, I have learned how to appreciate the others, how to become more patient, how to listen to unspoken words and how not to be worried in facing a small problem. There were so many of good things that I got from that training. But the most important thing that I learned during this training is how our PWDs friends have a capacity and capability to be included in our society for that reason I believe that our PWDs friends have rights to participated in all aspects of life in this society.
I give a highly appreciation for my PwDs friends especially Sehjira's members for they always give their best to do their roles in this life; like become a good mothers; a good employee, brilliant student etc. And the most important thing is that they are willingly take part in society as a agent of change to fight in reducing barrier and promote equal access in society.
It was two days training, and on the last day of the training, GEMPITA made a small contributions by organizing an outbound games which it purposed is to build a good team work among Sehjira’s members and its volunteer. e games was very exciting, all participants were getting more closer to each other.
That was one of what we have done with our PwDs friend,
I hope it will inspire other people to do something for others, especially for our PWDs friends.
