Akar Tuli on Brawijaya Expansion Event (Part 1)

Halo! Happy November everyone! Today, because our previous post is about simple past, the writer will write in English using simple past tense. Yeyyyyy *clapping* Every word written in V2 will be underlined. In this very special occasion, I am going to talk about Akar Tuli on Brawijaya Expansion Event. Excited, huh? ;)

Brawijaya Expansion Event held on October, 29th, to be exact, it was saturday. In this event, Brawijaya gathered all of Malang community and Akar Tuli was invited. There were bunch of them:

I came around 1 PM and apparently Mufti and Ikbar were already there in Akar Tuli stand. They had prepared everything when I arrived,

Few hours later, suddenly the rain felt. :( and our stand was flooded. The committee of Brawijaya Expansion tried to sweep the water, but of course it did not solve the problem. 

Eventually, the committee allowed us to move our stand. Yey! They also helped us re-prepared everything.

the new stand

At 4 pm, the rain stopped, the show begun, and visitor started to come. At first, they came closer slowly to our x-banner, which is consist of Indonesia sign language (BISINDO/Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia). They looked shy. but eventually they were willing to learn sign language. 

Our first visitor were 2 girls from somewhere, I forgot where they were. Uut and Ikbar, and I as interpreter, taught how to sign for them.

After that, there were bunch of Maba from Filkom (Faculty of Computer Science). They were funny, after they learned about sign, they asked us to teach them how to say love to someone use sign language. :D

Meanwhile, Mas Mufti also busy with their clients.

At that time, there were only 2 interpreters, that is, Mas Mufti and I. I was exausted, but I am proud of Akar Tuli, and I was very happy that a lot of people learned sign language. :))

Jalan-jalan ke Musium Tubuh “The Bagong”

Pada postingan sebelumnya kami bercerita perjalanan teman teman Akar Tuli ke Taman Safari. Cerita tersebut berjudul “Melancong Ke Taman Safari Bersama Akar Tuli”. Nah, sekarang kami akan menguraikan perjalanan volunteer Akar Tuli ke Musium Tubuh pada hari Ahad, 23 Oktober kemarin. Kami (Idot, Tanti, Retno, & Ai) sampai di Musium Tubuh “The Bagong” sekitar pukul 10. Masuk ke bangunan yang berbentuk bagong itu dan kami kagum dengan keindahan di dalamnya. Di Musium ini terdapat akses visual yang sangat memanjakan para pengunjung. Misalnya seperti simulasi visual dari organ organ tubuh manusia yang juga dilengkapi layar untuk memutar video serta ada teks berbahasa Indonesia. Aksesibel banget, kan ? 

Setelah pintu masuk kami naik lift ke lantai 2 dan masuk area mulut. Kami dapat tentang lidah, gigi, serta organ organ mulut yang dijelaskan oleh seorang petugas museum. Di setiap area yang kami pelajari ada petugas yang memberi penjelasan tentang organ tubuh manusia. Selanjutnya area mata dan kami dapat menyaksikan simulasi bagaimana kita dapat melihat sebuah benda yang ada di depan kita. Petugasnya juga melengkapi penjelasan yang ada di layar simulasi. Intinya ketika mata melihat sebuah benda yang memantulkan cahaya menembus kornea, kemudian pupil, dan terus pada bagian organ yang ada di mata hingga sampai pada otak. Dan diterjemahkan oleh otak sehingga kita menjadi tahu apa yang kita lihat. Hal yang sederhana akan tetapi melalui proses yang sangat rumit dan panjang. Begitu Dahsyat kuasa Tuhan yang menciptakan.
