Di Tempat

Jakarta, 31 Januari  2013

Dengan hormat,

Timbunan sampah menjadi persoalan yang sedang dihadapi Jakarta saat ini. Data dinas kebersihan Jakarta menunjukan, timbunan sampah yang dihasilkan rumah tangga mencapai 6,594.72 ton/hari. Dari angka tersebut hanya 85% yang terangkut ke Tempat Pembuangan Akhir  (TPA), tanpa mengalami proses pemilahan  organik atau non organik.  Sementara, sampah yang tidak terangkut memenuhi ruang-ruang terbuka menjadi pemicu terjadinya banjir.

Mengurangi volume sampah dengan 3R (Reuse, Reduce & Recycle) menjadi satu alternatif yang dapat dilakukan masyarakat secara langsung untuk mengatasi persoalan sampah dan ancaman bencana yang ditimbulkannya. Sayangnya, rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk ikut aktif dalam gerakan ini menjadi kendala.

AQUA Group sebagai bagian masyarakat bisnis yang telah berkomitmen untuk berpartisipasi membangun kesadaran publik mengelola sampah sepanjang 2012 telah melakukan kampanye Gemar Mengelola Sampah (GEMAS). Rangkaian program GEMAS diawali dengan peletakan mesin RVM (mesin pemecah botol plastik) di Monas, dongeng bersama siswa SD dan Workshop GEMAS yang ditujukan untuk siswa SMA dan mahasiswa.  Kampanye GEMAS akan ditutup dengan pemberian penghargaan terhadap peserta workshop terbaik yang diisi dengan rangkaian acara bertema pengelolaan sampah dengan 3R dan lingkungan.

Dengan ini, kami mengundang rekan media untuk menghadiri diskusi “Menjadi Bagian dari Generasi yang Gemar Mengelola Sampah untuk Menjaga Bumi” dan rangkaian acara Gemar Mengelola Sampah (GEMAS), pada:

Hari/ tanggal           : Senin, 4 Februari 2013

Mengitari Danau Maninjau bersama Garuda Indonesia

Mengitari Danau Maninjau bersama Garuda Indonesia

Untuk mendukung industri pariwisata Indonesia pada umumnya dan Sumatera Barat pada khususnya, Garuda Indonesia akan menyelenggarakan Garuda Indonesia Bike Tour – Maninjau Tour pada 1-3 Februari 2013.

Garuda Indonesia Bike Tour yang diikuti oleh anggota Garuda Group Cycling Community (G2C2) ini bukan yang pertama kali dilaksanakan. Sejauh ini, ajang  tersebut telah diadakan sebanyak 15 kali. Bahkan, Maninjau Tour atau wisata sepeda yang berlokasi di Sumatera Barat tersebut akan dilaksanakan untuk kedua kalinya.

Selain Maninjau, sebelumnya, Garuda Indonesia Bike Tour telah menempuh rute-rute dalam negeri dengan melewati jalan-jalan di Toba, Ubud, Bandung, Lombok, Batu dan Bangka. Di luar Indonesia, Garuda Indonesia Bike Tour juga pernah  menjajal jalanan di Singapura, Malaysia, Jepang dan Cina.

Bukan hanya untuk memanjakan mata dan mengenal lebih jauh potensi pariwisata lokal, dengan mengadakan kegiatan yang memeras keringat ini Garuda Indonesia juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya melestarikan lingkungan dan mempromosikan olahraga sepeda. Hal ini disambut baik oleh para peserta yang menunjukkan minat yang cukup tinggi dan didukung oleh besarnya jumlah peserta. Sering kali, dalam hitungan hari sejak diumumkannya kegiatan ini, jumlah peserta yang mendaftar melebihi target yang ditentukan pada awalnya.

Dalam rangkaian Garuda Indonesia Bike Tour ini, jiwa sosial peserta juga difasilitasi dengan pelaksanaan proyek-proyek CSR selama kegiatan berlangsung. Misalnya di tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Di seri Toba, para peserta terlibat dalam program pengadaan air bersih. Di Batu, peserta diajak untuk mebangun MCK dan fasilitas air bersih, sementara di Lombok, kegiatan CSR difokuskan pada pembangunan taman kanak-kanak. Sementara di sekitar Danau Maninjau, program yang dilaksanakan adalah pembangunan madrasah dan fasilitas kesehatan.

Di masa depan, Garuda Indonesia telah merencanakan untuk menantang para peserta dengan membawa mereka menjelajahi jalan-jalan di Toraja, Solo dan Surabaya.

Mengenal Legenda Maninjau
Danau Maninjau, dikenal juga dengan nama Telaga Biru, memukau setiap orang yang pernah menyaksikan keindahannya. Permukaannya yang biru memantulkan cahaya matahari dan memancarkan kilau keemasan di beberapa bagian. Kelokan-kelokan di timur danau yang berjumlah 44 menunggu para pengunjung untuk melintasinya sambil menikmati pemandangan.

Di tubir danau, pengunjung akan melihat kampung-kampung kecil yang berderet membelakangi bukit-bukit terjal. Lubuk Sao, Muko-muko, Sigiran dan Tanjung Sani adalah kampung-kampung yang dinamakan menurut tokoh-tokoh dalam dongeng Sani dan Giran. Mereka adalah dua remaja yang saling mencintai namun kemudian dilemparkan ke dalam gunung berapi karena dianggap membawa petaka. Dalam dongeng tersebut, hujan deras turun berhari-hari hingga kawah Bukit Tinjau kemudian berubah menjadi danau yang dikenal dengan nama Danau Maninjau.

New Zealand-ASEAN Scholars Awards: Indonesia

Open to eligible candidates from the public, private and civil society sectors.
The New Zealand-ASEAN Scholars Awards seek to empower individuals with the
knowledge, skills and qualifications to contribute to sustainable economic,
social and political development within ASEAN nations.
 

Background

The New Zealand-ASEAN Scholars Awards seek to make a substantial contribution to the ASEAN region’s development by providing opportunities for postgraduate study (i.e. Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s degree and doctorate/PhD) in New Zealand. The New Zealand-ASEAN Scholars Awards (NZ-AS) are part of the New Zealand’s official development assistance to the ASEAN region. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), through the New Zealand Aid Programme, delivers this scholarship scheme. Under the NZ-AS scheme, up to 50 scholarships per annum are available for Indonesian applicants from a total of 170 scholarships for ASEAN countries.

Themes

The NZ-AS focuses on fields of study in support of Indonesia’s sustainable economic development, especially in the areas of agriculture, renewable energy (especially geothermal energy) and disaster risk management. Candidates should be able to demonstrate how their proposed course of study will contribute to Indonesia’s development strategies and needs.

Targeted Candidates

The New Zealand Aid Programme welcomes applicants from Indonesia who can demonstrate leadership qualities and academic excellence from the public and private sectors including civil society, university lecturers, development-focused organisations and charitable foundations.    
Additional priority will be given to applicants with the following backgrounds:

1. Geographic area: Individuals from Eastern Indonesia (West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, North Maluku, Papua and West Papua). Eastern Indonesia is a geographic area of focus in New Zealand’s bilateral development programme in recognition of the complexity of the development challenges faced within these sub-regions compared to most other parts of the archipelago. The New Zealand Aid Programme has had a longstanding association with Eastern Indonesia and we believe it is important to continue that commitment through developing human capital needs so the sub-region can progress and make the most of the opportunities that exist in these provinces for development.
2. Government departments: Individuals from the Ministries of Agriculture, Forestry, Mineral Resources and Energy, and Marine Resources and Fisheries (including relevant research institutions under those Ministries); Environment; Tourism; Education; Foreign Affairs; National Police; National Agency for Planning and Development; Ministry of Defence (civilian officials); and National Agency for Disaster Management.

Scholarships Benefits

Return air travel, full tuition fees, an establishment allowance upon arrival in New Zealand, a living allowance to cover day to day costs, medical and travel insurance.

Dakar Rally 2013: MINI congratulates the Monster Energy X-raid Team and Stéphane Peterhansel on a second consecutive victory.

Dakar Rally 2013: MINI congratulates the Monster Energy X-raid Team and Stéphane Peterhansel on a second consecutive victory.

Munich/Santiago de Chile. It seems nothing can stand in their way. The French duo of Stéphane Peterhansel and co-driver Jean-Paul Cottret have won the Dakar Rally 2013 in a MINI ALL4 Racing in a repeat of last year’s success. With their overall time of 38:32.39, the lead pairing of the privately-entered Monster Energy X-raid Team from Trebur, Germany crossed the finish line in Santiago de Chile 42:22 minutes ahead of their nearest pursuers in the overall classification. For Peterhansel, his second victory in the MINI ALL4 Racing was also the 11th of his career in the Dakar.

“This is a magnificent triumph and I would like to offer our congratulations on behalf of MINI not only to Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret, but also to Sven Quandt’s entire X-raid Team,” enthused Dr Kay Segler, Senior Vice President MINI Brand Management. “The victory of the MINI ALL4 Racing last year was without doubt a surprise for many people. But now it is clear to everyone that this was no fluke. Anyone who comes home first after 8,600 kilometres (approx. 5,300 miles) in the world’s toughest rally has achieved something amazing. We are incredibly proud to count these fantastic competitors as part of the MINI family.”

As last year, the X-raid Team was again the dominant force in the Dakar Rally 2013. Peterhansel took over at the top of the overall classification after only two stages – and defended his lead all the way to the finish. The chasing pack included the pairing of Leonid Novitskiy and Konstantin Zhiltsov in another MINI ALL4 Racing, who eventually finished the Dakar Rally 2013 in third place.

General Ranking:
1 S. Peterhansel / J.-P. Cottret MINI ALL4 Racing 38h 32m 39s
3 L. Novitskiy / K. Zhiltsov MINI ALL4 Racing 40h 01m 01s
4 N. Roma / M. Périn MINI ALL4 Racing 40h 09m 22s
12 B. Garafulic / G. Picard MINI ALL4 Racing 43h 18m 59s
