Have you ever heard of or found ‘Alor Creative 100%’ in the media? There are two possible answers, ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Alor Creative 100% is an initiative of several Alor youths to increase the value of life through local products produced from natural resources from Alor island. These local products are processed into ready-to-use goods with high selling value from coconut, candlenut, cashews, moringa, and bamboo.
Slowly
but sure, starting from local and actively participating in one festival to
other festival, and collaborating with other communities, as well as promoting
on social media, they are getting be more known and their networked is not only
in Alor but also outside the NTT province. Petrus Maure, S.Kom, the initiator
of Alor Creative 100% who is also the Multiplicator of Stube HEMAT in Alor
continues to learn and opens other opportunities to promote Alor Creative 100%
while empowering young people and students in Alor through the Multiplication
program of Stube HEMAT in Alor. The activities of the program cover training,
discussions, study visits, and other assistance.
From these various creative activities, Petrus was ‘wanted’ as a resource person to talk and share the spirit that is closely related to sustainable living, even though he started and built something small around him. Petrus continues to try to develop local potencies through the use of natural products, including by developing creativity by building Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) businesses. It is the spirit that must be owned and started since kids of young generation as the love expression for Indonesia.
It
can be shown in the online discussion ‘Building Local Spirit for Nature
Conservation and Sustainable Living’ initiated by the Krealogi Community with
Petrus Maure, S.Kom, the initiator of Alor Creative 100% (15/1/2021) through
Instagram Krealogi and "Alor Creative 100%. The discussion hosted by
Yolanda Icha from the Krealogi Community revealed the skills and creativity
that is pioneered by Alor Creative 100%. Petrus shared his early experiences while
studying in Yogyakarta and being active at Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, a student
service to increase knowledge and to develop skills. He continues to care for, to
fight for and to make his dreams come true. Even though the pandemic outbreak
has made MSMEs face a tough period but it does not hinder the emergence of
creative ideas. According to Alor Creative 100% that continues to generate new
ideas, designs, and values,
all is still raising local
potencies. Alor Creative 100% also helps improve the economy of students or the
community by selling their products. Petrus hopes that young people, especially
students, continue to develop themselves through their ideas by utilizing local
materials so that they will be competitive with other products.
The Krealogi Community itself is a community that gathers MSMEs and young Indonesians to develop their abilities and skills, from soft skills to operational capabilities to improve the MSMEs business. While Krealogi is a program from Ministry of Credit Union and MSMEs together with Ministry of Information and Communication to empower MSMEs by offering business and business solutions by discussing with other MSMEs by involving resource persons from various MSMEs and communities.
Young
people, please look around you, develop local potency to produce something for
the sake of the life quality improvement while still pro with nature
preservation and sustainable living. (ISNA)
