ZARASOL'S JOURNEY

"Whatever you believe, you can achieve"  That's what my aunt Elsa and Fina said, they are my inspiration. Pangan Kito Community is the school of food waste in Sumatra. As a person who has experience in building a community, I’m going to share my short event in Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Pangan Kito. The community known as Pangan Kito, or PK for short, is dedicated to reducing and resolving the issue of food waste in Sumatra, particularly in Palembang. According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Report data, Indonesia has become the largest contributor of food waste in the last year of 2024, the total amount of food waste is 14.73 million tons per year. Pangan Kito Team and FSC In this article, I will tell my story about the food waste journey with my team; Uswah, Anjali, Nita and Ummi. This is the first time I should build my community outside Bandar Lampung. I actually live in Bandar Lampung, and this is my challenge, the expedition was...

Gajahlah Kebersihan "Ecotheology Discussion" Setelah menjalani kisah romantis bersama ruang pangan, lima tahun perjalananku bersama komunitas itu. Berangkat dari keingintahuan terhadap 'isu food waste dan food loss'. Nggak nyangka juga bisa sejauh ini. Perjalanan kali ini Allah kasih lebih banyak kemudahan. Banyak hal yang nggak terguda, termasuk rezeki. Kemanapun kita melangkah, sebelum melangkah semoga Allah bimbing kita untuk terus berpikir positif dan bertidak baik dengan penuh keyakinan bahwa Dia pasti membantu kita.  Mau istirahat dulu dari hiruk-pikuk dunia maya, mau mencari kedamaian alam lewat interaksi nyata, cielah. Tahun ini gue 24 tahun, masih jomlo, masih kayak bayi kalau kata mbak shalsa "Idih, zara-zara lu nih masih kayak bayi bener sih!" momen itu selalu gue inget, kenapa ya? kayak ngebekas aja di kepala. Kalo dipikir-pikir si gue emang masih kek bocah tengil, eithhh nggak juga sih. Cuma menolak tua aja, doanya sih pingin panjang umur, awet ...

Pernah ngerasa burn out nggak? Pernah dong. Tapi emang cuma Al-Qur’an yang bisa nyembuhin. Sifat Asyyifa-nya Al-Qur’an itu paling ampuh. Selama menjadi CEO di Ruang Pangan gue menghadapi banyak hal, banyak permasalahan, banyak goncangan, sedih karena sering dikritik. Sebagai perempuan yang menjadi pemimpin di sebuah organisasi non-profit gue bukanlah yang serba bisa, gue juga tidak mengklaim bahwa gue ini manusia kuat, manusia hebat, NO. I’m just a human being who really need Allah's help. “Sesungguhnya sabar itu ada pada benturan pertama” – La Tahzan Book. Tiap gue dikritik gue serasa pingin marah dan ngamuk. Tapi, kesabaran itu ada di benturan pertama okay calm down. Seringkali gue dihujani kemarahan beserta kritikan yang bikin pusing.  Gue curhat sama Mama pasti jawabannya “Sesuatu yang telah diambil itu pasti ada risikonya, yang sabar”. Beda lagi kalau ngomongnya sama Bapak “Krtikan itu harusnya pedes dan nggak sopan, pemimpin itu kalau sama kritikan kecil aja tumbang giman...

  Saturday Night Challenge  #4Desember2021 People ask you, they said when in the first meeting. A couple of years ago, I asked them the same ‘questions’. Based on my small research it can be concluded: everyone has their own personal privacy. I saw many people do not know how to control their mouth, in fact, something bad happens. I still learn, we have learned how to manage anything related to human feeling, right?. Maybe, we must understand their personal life, I decided to stop asking if the questions aim to hurt. Sometimes, we forget to think before we speak, everything can be worst at a time when we cannot organize what are sentences that we want to tell?. Let me clarify this, no one compares to you dude! I knew, perhaps you still see someone more than you, better than you in many aspects. You only trust Allah, no matter what you think, you hate to live: what is the solution? Die, what do you think? I do believe that you want to struggle in this ruthless life, don’...
