In the Pechakola community, the group SALT with the youth of 18-35 years have
come up with how to make their thoughts about their community a reality. The
group SALT is made up of 11 members and divided into 5 groups.They themselves
start salting each other with 15 minutes. Identifying similar problems from a
single salt is revealed through group salts. There were a few issues such as
street problems in children's schools, road problems within the community,
children's stay out of their homes after evening, keeping their home yards and
local markets clean.
How they can solve the problems themselves through group salt discussions have come up. At the end of the appointed time, they start praising each other, so that the other person gets a kind of strength in themselves which will help them to be energetic in their work. They say we can solve our own problems if we all work together. Hearing this, everyone should be excited. I have noticed in them the intense desire to face any challenge by the power of the community. They can take this decision themselves if they wake up the power between them. Which has emerged through our group salt. Group salts are more fruitful than single salts. Now our work will be to try not to stop these discussions meet and inspire them again and again.
At the end of the group salt After experience reflection we asked ourselves two
questions-
1. What went well and why?
2. What can we do better next time and how?
Answers to the first question - The group salts themselves were listening to
each other's stories attentively and complimenting each other that they had
never had the opportunity to sit together and talk like this. It was good.
Because sitting together could reveal their potential through discussions
between them.
Answer to the second question - Next time we can group together with another
team in the area. This will increase the motivation to work together with one
group in the community.
