First missionary family ( Damal me & Damal in) in Beoga, Papua
CHIEF DEN: CHOSEN BY GOD
. . . before the foundation of the world
Learning the Language
Eight months earlier, two missionary men, Don Gibbons and Gordon Larson, had hiked into the Ilaga Valley. For almost three years previously, the men had explored, been raided and were turned back time and again in their efforts to bring the gospel to the Damal and Dani tribesmen—people still living in the Stone Age who believed they were the only flesh and blood beings on earth.Once there, Gordon built his cabin in the Dani part of the valley, and Don chose the Damal area. Local people began to help the men build an airstrip so their wives and children could fly into the valley to join them.
Two days after the men arrived in the Ilaga, a teenage Damal greeted Don in Indonesian, the trade language used by the government. “My father, Chief Den, invites you to come to his village,” he said. Don was startled! He understood Indonesian but couldn’t speak a word of the local Damal language. They set off together.
As they walked, Don learned the boy, later named Sam, had just returned home after attending a distant government school for two years. Chief Den invited Don to build his house at the edge of his village. In return for some land, Don gave the chief a steel axe, a precious gift to people who used stone tools.
Don hired Sam as his language helper and began to mimic, memorize and use the words of the complicated Damal language. The Damals had no word for God. Using the verb “to make,” ungkate, and changing it to a noun, “the person who makes,” a new word was formed: “Ungkangam Me,” the Creator. Now Don could begin to teach the people about God.The Damals had no concept of weeks or months or even years. Using his fingers to count as the Damals do, Don explained that every seventh day, work would stop on the airstrip so people could gather in Den’s village to hear stories of the Creator and His Son, Jesus. During the week, Don and Sam worked together translating the chosen Bible story. On Sunday, Don spoke it line by line in Indonesian and Sam repeated it in Damal. The numbers attending on Sunday grew each week.
Chief Den Decides
On my first Sunday in Ilaga, I (Don’s wife), joined 500 Damals in church. Fascinated, I watched as two men stood and sang a Damal chant telling the gospel in 20 short lines while the crowd sang a response after each line. Also, I observed that the people seated on the edges couldn’t hear Sam’s voice, so I encouraged Don to begin preaching his sermon directly in Damal. During the week, Don worked with Sam, writing the story and application out in Damal. With Don speaking on Sunday mornings, everyone could hear.“You must make a choice,” Don said one Sunday. “Which path will you follow? The path of Jesus leads to heaven and eternal life. The other path, the path of Satan and spirit appeasement, which you Damals have always followed, leads to death and hell. You cannot walk on both paths at the same time, for they go in opposite directions.”
The people understood the challenge. Chief Den and other leaders came to Don with questions.
“If we destroy our sacred objects and follow this new path, who will protect us in war if enemies attack us?” they asked. “The Creator will,” Don answered. “God is stronger than your charms and the evil spirits.”
“Who will help us in sickness? Who will cause our gardens to grow?” Don replied by telling them Bible stories to confirm that God would supply all their needs.
Chief Den made his decision. He announced that the next Sunday he would burn his ancestral charms, breaking with the spirits. That morning 700 Damals came dancing and singing as they poured into the village courtyard. Dani warriors came, too, standing at attention around the crowd of Damals. Each Dani carried a spear he used only in close combat with an enemy. They opposed the burning and feared what the spirits might do to all of them.
Den laid firewood in crisscross fashion and built a structure in the center of the yard. The bonfire was ready to light. When everyone was seated, Don spoke. He explained again the decision the people needed to make. Every person who had decided to walk the “Jesus path” should stand and move near to the stack of firewood.
Before anyone moved, Den ran to his hut, got a fire brand and lit the bonfire. Men began to run shouting as they threw large bundles of charms into the blazing fire. Women tore charms from their arms and from around their necks, tossing them into the fire. Black smoke rose. The blazing fire turned to glowing coals and then to gray ashes. From these ashes God’s master plan arose.The Torch Is Passed
Chief Den and the Ilaga Damals were at the epicenter of a people’s movement, a turning to God of tribal people that swept across the mountains of New Guinea. The Ilaga Damals trusted God and began to share their faith in other valleys to the north, south and west, first with other Damals, then with Ndugas and Monis. The Ilaga Danis watched God’s blessings shower on their Damal neighbors for 18 months before they made their decision to turn from spirit appeasement.Dani believers then carried the torch to the east. The message was received by people of many tribes and languages, reaching distant areas where the C&MA and other mission groups were working. Although missionaries were in place building airstrips and learning languages, the people remained unresponsive until tribesmen from the Ilaga gave their testimonies. In the next 10 years, 100,000 people received the gospel.
My family continued to live with the Damals and learn their language. Soon a trained linguist joined us, and he developed the Damal alphabet and began translating the New Testament. Damals were taught to read. My husband and I established a four-year Bible school to train pastors for the churches that were springing up in villages everywhere.
The Way to Heaven
Why did Chief Den promote the missionary and his message? Don didn’t learn the answer until several years later. Den was born at the turn of the century—about 1900. His father was also a tribal chief, and both were keepers of spirit appeasement charms. These sacred objects were passed down from generation to generation.Near the time of his death, Den’s father said to him, “Perhaps in your lifetime a being will come from the outside and give you the key to hai” (the Damal word for paradise). “This being will tell you the way to heaven.”
God in His eternal purpose had chosen Chief Den before Creation. God put the longing for heaven into the heart of Den’s father with the prophecy that someone would come to tell the Damals the way. It was also God who put Don in Den’s village with the support of all of you in The Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Tembagapura
Tembagapura atau yang biasa anak anak gaul dong sebut Tempoer. Menurut sejarah (hahahaha) nama Tembagapura didefinisikan menjadi 2 kata yaitu (Tembaga & Pura) " Tembaga" yg berarti tempat penghasilan tembaga dan kata "Pura" yg diambil dr ibukota Jayapura. Tempat ini sudah yg dong biasa bilang sbagai lokasi pertambangan terbesar yg terkenal yaitu PT Freeport McMoran & menjadi salah satu perusahaan raksasa di dunia. Perusahaan ini menjadi asset terbesar bagi seluruh dunia terutama Indonesia, berbagai orang dari berbeda background & negara sperti Amerika, Australia, Afrika, India & lain2 juga baku sepak rame di sini. Itulah ajaibnya Tuhan karena adanya sumber daya alam ini maka orang2 dpt hidup dgan berkecukupan, orang2 yg belum pernah kita lihat/ kenal smua bisa menyalin keakraban.
Tembagapura memang kota kecil tapi bukan berarti kita merasa bosan karena tra bisa buat apa2 & tra bisa keman2 terutama bagi anak2 muda. Malh justru kita memanfaatkan keadaan ni utk menghabiskan tong pu masa2 kanak2 & remaja utk melakukan hal2 Luar tidak biasa yg biasa dilakukan oleh anak2 muda lainnya d daerah2 lain.
I love My Hometown :)
Mungkin beberapa orang yg belum pernah ke sini berpikir kalu perusahaan ini pasti sebsar tempatnya. Kenyataan memang tdk, tapi tong yg sudah mengabdikan hidupnya d tempat ini su bisa menyamakan tau bahkan lebih mengandalkankota ni dripada ibukota Jayapura maupun Jakarta. Iyo, itu semua betul karna di kedua ibukota ini maupun d daerah2 lainnya d tempat lain belum tentu terdapat facilitas yg memadai sperti d sini. Semua facilitas ada sperti: bis2 utk keluarga& karyawan, Hospital utk khusus masyarakat asli setempat maupun bagi karyawan dan keluarga, sekolah dr Playgroup sampe SMP bahkan International school, tempat makan/Mas bagi karyawan2/ , Supermarket bagi masyarakat asli maupun bagi yg tinggal di bagian kota, Gereja & Mushola, perpustakaan, Tempat olahraga/ Sporthall, keamanaan d setiap post, restaurants dan masih banyk lagi. Jisss aneh skali, ini sa bukan mo deskripsi kota ini secara detail2 tapi cma mo curhat sa pu perasaan rindu ttg tempat ini saja :(.
*Ini sudah kota Tembgapura, tempat saya menghabiskan masa kanak2 sampe remaja, 15 tahun sudah sa menjaga sa pu tempat ini dr lahir sampe yg ada ini. Tempat dimana sa mulai mengenal yg dunia pendidikan, tempat sa pu keluarga berada, tempat sa pertama membentuk sebuah persahabatan.
Mungkin orang lain banggakan tempat ini sebagai kota emas tapi bagi sa tu semua tra penting. Yg sa paling banggakan dr tempat ini adalah perkumpulan sodara/i dr berbagai tempat/keakraban yg terjalin antara satu sama lain dan ini sudah yg pantas dsebut sebagai " SURGA DUNIA". tra peduli ko dr mana, ko siapa, ko hitam, putih, keriting, lurus atau apalah itu y penting tong semua bersaudara atau Pak Bupati bilang: EME NEME YAWARE". Sa sempat terharu juga pass baca2 beberap teman2 pu blog yg su tra d Tempoer lgi, dong ungkapkan dong pu kerinduan sampe cerita2 dong pu pengalaman2 waktu masih d sini. Sioo,,,sedih aaaa tapi itu sudah !!!siapa pun yg pernah injak tempat ini pasti terhipnotis sama tuan tanah Nemangkawi :) kwkwk.
Tong pu tempat2 juga tra kalah mo dgan kamu dong pu mall,2 bisoskop2 atau tempat2 hiburan lainnya!!!Malah menurut kita tong su terbiasa jadi asik2 saja dgan yg biasa kita lakukana sperti: jln2 k air Terjun / yg biasa tong sebut " SIPUR", cari ilep, kalep, buah berries, ke kebun labu siam baru curi sayur, main basket d Sporthall, jln2 ke Utikini ketemu sodara2 dong dulang d kali kabur, nongkrong d Batu Besar, jln PanoramaTribun/ shopping centre. See, asikk toh tong pu activitas2 d sni :). Tapi g pling tra bisa lupa tu masa2 sekolah dlu, sepulang sekolah pigi nongkrong d tribun, batu besar tau pertandingan bola Volley antara mace2 versus pace2 kah nie atau tong biasa rame2 nongkrong di shopping centre baru baku traktir rame makan kentang. Kalu acara2 besar jga tra kalah seru mo seperti: Hallloween,Natalan, tahun baru, paskah, lebaran, 17 Agustus biasanya kegiatan2 juga tra kalah rame. Pass Halooween tu semua paling lincah sdh, baku cakar rame cri kostum, hujan2 pun tra jadi msalah (hujan: hahaha no problema, su menjadi teman setiap hari mo) apalgi smua mati dpt permen kah nieeee bahkan kadang tong dpt kasih uang jga dr orang2 bule klu tra da perman (tu betul krna sa pernah jadi korban jdi:D). Kalau natalan tu, paling jago skali parkir dluan d tmpat2 natal ( natal manado, Biak, gereja2, Batak etc) bukan krna mo ikt ibadah sje tp tujuan pertama tu cma mo pigi rakus2 makanan saja hahahaha adohhh kaco2 (skarang su bertobat). Trusss kalau paskah juga sering jambore paskah d skolah bru nti dr gereja masing bawa obor jln k tempat penyaliban Tuhan Yesus,,aisss seru demi. :). Kalu natal 17 Augustus tu tong biasa ada paskibra ( pasukan 45 bleh ), marching band sama performance2 lainnya juga, trusss biasanya acara2 disi oleh artis2 dr ibu kotat termasuk utk tahun baru juga biasa bgitu. Pling aneh tu kalau su mo dkat lebarn sdh, bukan sa & teman2 Kristiani lain yg rayakan tp tong yg paling semangat skali sampe bisa parkir d teman2 muslim pu rmh utk sikat makanan. Demi tu sdh yg terjadi klu su gabung dgan sa pu teman2 tu!! tong semua gila betul, semua dgan karakter, sifat2 masing & tiap2 yg berbeda jadi macam saling melngkapi bgitu. Satu hal yg tra bisa sa lupa tu tong pu nma group yg tong bkin dulu krna wktu tu pass lgi musim juga jadi. Nama groupx tu (M-I-N-E-S) singkatan dr M=Madona, I=Ingrid, N= Novina, E=Elfira & S=Selfina yg dibentuk & disahkan di bawah kolam renang Hotel Kuta, Bali pass lagi Studi Tour dr skolah. Tong berlima ni paling kompak sdh, kemana mana tu slalu baku bawa truss heheh. Tapi pass lama2 kita kedatangan teman2 lainnya jga yg tra kalah seru & gila: Chindy, Maria, Erinda, Feiby, Helena, Erfina & yg paling ganteng tu Maiselman Buntulobo yg sampe skarang baikut truss dgan sa. Karena bertambahx anggota2 baru maka nama group pun diubah menjadi ( DAJZZENT= sa su lupa cara spellx bagaiman tp kira2 namax bgitu sdh). Dengan bertambahx anggota2 baru bertambah pula juga tong pu kekuatan utk membasmi tong pu musuh2 kecuping2 (khusus ade2 klass) hahaha paling jago skali ganggu ade2 dong. Masih ingat cerita pass tong baku sempat conflict sma ade klass satu gara2 dia trlalau balawan banyak jadi hehehe. Tapi demi saa pu teman SD yg paling kaco tu Helena sam Selfina sdh, tong tu kpala jln k Sporthall truss pergi beli2 d barack stu, baku lawan sepak bola anatar keluarga Kayame versus Magay pokokx mace 2 ni paling andaln sdh, otak sama lgi jadi tong tu paling gila skali. Pergi main sembunyi2 d perumahan2 trus main ketok2 orang pu rmh bru baku taruh lari kuda!!hehe turss kpala baku marah dgan om2 karyawan heheheheh akaiiiiii namola kmu 2 sehhh. Aissss jadi sedih ale!!!!demi sa kangeeeen kamu semua oooooo. kapan tong jln2 k Tribun, batu besar, jln Panorama, air terjun. Kapan tong baku marahan lagi sampe hampir baku bunuh ( hahah bercanda). Sa mo ketemu kam smua lagi spaya tong bisa tertawa sama2 ( Ingat Madona pu tertawa bokar yg sexy tu ale :) truss main basket rame2, makan d shopping. Tra sanggup ale,,sa rindu masa2 tu skali!!!!coba klu klu tong bisa putar waktu2 tu kembali lagi. Biar sdh tong smua tpisah jauh tapi tong smua SISTERS forever. Suatu saat pasti tong baku dpt lgi baru crita kembali tong pu kenangan2 dulu. I MISS YOU ALL <3
cerita ini jadi bkin sa tambah KANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN sa pu tempat tercinta skali:( mo cpat2 kembli ale. Di tempat ini tersimpan kenagan2 yg indah & tra akan dilupakan!!dan akan slalau dikenang sampe kapan pun. Biarpun sa su pigi jauh sampe di kota besar ini pun tetap sa pu surga kecil ini slalu dlm sa pu benak & hati. Biarpun sa mo pigi jauh d benua mana, samudra mana, negri mana, planet mana, pulau mana tapi kota kecil ini su curi sa pu cinta utk tetap Cinta & sayang dya :P. Tembagapura,, terima kasih su menjadi tempat paling andalan utk membesarkan sa menjadi seorang gadis, mengarjarkan sa arti Persahaabtan/ persaudaraan & mengenalkan sa dunia pendidikan.

Bolehlah kita menumpang mandi
Kalau ada umurku panjang
Bolehlah kita bertemu lagi

swuatu hari kita berpisah
suatu hari kita akan berubah
suatu hari kita akan saling melupakan
suatu hari kita tak akan bisa seperti ini lagi
yang aku ingin kau menjaga
menjaga persahabatan ini
sampai nanti kita di pertemukan kembali
****
Sahabat, waktu telah mengantarkan kita pada satu titik pemahaman
bahwa di dunia ini tak ada yg abadi
Kini saatnya kita harus berjalan sendiri
Melangkah mengikuti takdir yang telah tergariskan
Dalam ruang dan waktu yang berbeda
Ketika kebersamaan menjadi langka
Ketika canda tawa begitu berharga
Sahabat, semoga waktu tak membuat kita lupa
Bahwa kita pernah ada
Pernah punya cerita
Sahabat, abadilah tercipta lebih dari cinta
****
tapi sebelum hari perpisahan itu tiba
aku hanya ingin kau tau
persahabatan ini tidak akan pernah
pudar oleh waktu
dirimu adalah kenangan terindah
dalam hidup ku
dan maafkan aku yang tak pernah bisa sempurna
untuk menjadi sahabat
****
Kawanku,
jika ada saudara ku yang lain diantara kakak dan adikku itu pastilah kau
saudaraku, Kita sama menyusuri ombak kecil jikala pasang berpanas ceria dikala terik
Sahabatku,
Kita mungkin saja pernah menghempas tangis berdua
bertindih suasah bersa-sama
bermandi keringat tnpa jeda
Tapi aku tak akan bisa gembira tanpamu di tanah baru nanti
Sahabatku,
Akan tiada lagi berdebat soal papua merdeka..kwkwkwk
Tak akan pernah lagi berdiskusi tentang pacar kita
ditanah baru mungkin akan gersang tanpamu
Sahabatku,
Percayalah perpisahan ini tidak membuat ku gembira
Namun ini harus kujalani
Namun kelak suatu saat kita kan mengingat kisah kisah kita ini dan tertawa,,,hahhahahah
puisi & pantun ni smua z copy dr Internet tp da beberapa kata yg z ubah.....

Tak akan pernah lagi berdiskusi tentang pacar kita
ditanah baru mungkin akan gersang tanpamu
Sahabatku,
Percayalah perpisahan ini tidak membuat ku gembira
Namun ini harus kujalani
Namun kelak suatu saat kita kan mengingat kisah kisah kita ini dan tertawa,,,hahhahahah
puisi & pantun ni smua z copy dr Internet tp da beberapa kata yg z ubah.....
AMOLONGA MY MINGOS.......love ya full

Article for school MagaZine
My house is my palace. These are the words that come to mind to I described for the boarding house where I spent my last three and a half years. There are around 700 girls in the boarding house from different remote places around Australia such as Western Australia, Alice Springs, katherine, Tiwi Island, Torres strait Island etc. There are also some girls from other countries, such as Indonesia, Philippines, Africa and Brazil. We all live far from our families and therefore we often fill our loneliness by sharing and learning about each other’s different cultures, traditions and languages. From the boarding house, I learnt the true meaning of friendship and sisterhood with girls from different backgrounds. We are one big family and we will remember it someday. One thing that I will miss from the boarding house are activities, such as camping in Batchelor and Lake Resort, participating in festivals in Daly River, Jabiru and the discos every weekend night. However, one thing that I will not miss from boarding house is the lack of freedom because there are too many rules. Overall, I would like to thank all the houseparents who have been caring, loving and have given wise advice to us about how to be young ladies.
peace out!!!

It's my story
My name is Novina Magay but my friends call me Nove, Novnex, Magay, miss Papua etc,,,What a beautiful name ,,,I know aye. I 'm studying in Darwin, Australia & I have been stayed here for 3 & 1/2 years. I stay in a boarding house where I have multicultural friends from nearly around the world. Now, I'm in year 12 therefore I would like to give a huge hug to myself cox I can still able to live here. I enjoy everthing about DArwin except for the weather, it's Bloody hOOOOtttt man,Well if I compared to my hometown then I would choose weather' in Tempur cox it's nice & cold in there.
I have 3 siblings in my family who are : My step sister(Jomina Magay) who has 3 kids, My second brother( Bobby Magay) who is in high school & my little brother (Alejandro Magay) who is only 4 months now.They live in Tembagapura.
I'm the second oldest & I love my family so much. Addition, I'm Damalenese & my hometown is in Beoga. Honestly, I never been to Beoga & I would like to visit my siblings there & see what does my hometown look like oneday?
***Before came to Aussie
Since I was in grade 4, I had an ambition to come to Australia,,that was my dream & I never knew whether it was going to happen or not?. There is a program called Asrama Tomawin which organised by a department called QMS (Quality MAnagement Society)& every year they send Indigenous kids to continue their High school & university in Australia or Java. One of the schools in Australia where they send these kids is St John's College, the school that I really wanted to go at the time...Anyway,I used to meet these kids from Aussie when there were on holidays & my dream was more increased every time, they talked to me about How great australia is. I used to express my dream to my parents but they said it is too way expensive & I understand that. I thought what a stupid dream,only rich people can be able to go to Australia.
One day My father invited this man (unknown) to come over & have dinner with us, he's a good friend of my father. While we were having dinner, that man asked me where am I going to continue my high school after finish middle school. I told himt hat I might go to Jakarta or Jogjakarta but it depends which school will accept me first. Then the man said to my father "why don't you send your daughter to Australia as what I have done to my daughter". My father was just laugh & told him that it is too expensive.
The short story is: that man said he was going to give me a scholarship cox he is the one who gives scholarship to indigenous kids. With the condition, I need to get a good mark for my english subject.
So, over the 5 years I have been worked hard & tried my best to get a good mark like what he has expected. I was very happy & excited, finally my dream was going to happen, I thought. My father used to remind that man about the scholarship & the man kept telling my father that he doesn't need to worry, he definitely was going to give me the scholarship after year 9.
In the end, my result came out & let say that I got satisfactory marks especially for english. At the same time, the principle from St John's College came to my school & presented about the school. I was registered my name down cox I had no doubt about the scholarship. Me & my parents took my result to the man & he suggested to my parents to pay my first payment & after that he was going to pay the rest off. At first, my parents did not agree but after the man convinced them finally they agreed. My parents did exactly what he has told & I completed all the requirements needed to obtain a passport & a visa. For the 4 weeks I didn't sleep & eat coz I was tring to get everthing done as quickly as possible. I did everthing such as the medical check up, translated the report & printed out all the forms needed to be filled in.
The 11th of August of 2008 was a historic day for me, I flew leaving my family, homeland & everything behind with 7 of my friends mander about to kangaroo land.
If you like, Please have a look at my first day of school in kangaroo land page under..!!

It has been 3 & 1/2 years now & the scholarships from the man or neither from the institutions NEVER came to me. I have no ide whether they were making around with me & my family or they just lied to us. Only God knows the answer!!!. They said I'm not the indigenous of Amungme or Kamoro, I'm a boss daughter, I'm not worth & many other reasons. OMG...I don't know what to say...These are stupid reasons that I ever heard. PLeaseeesss,,, Give me a break,,how are you going to develope your country in 5 years or 10 years time when you get your freedom if you treat your own people like this. Why are you rasist to your OWN people? I'm black, you black, you have curly hair so as mine, we talk nearly same languages, I'm Papuan, you are papuan, I get education to develope my country, you give scholarships so that one day they can come back & develope papua. As a papuan,I also have a RIGHT to enjoy production of gold and copper in PT Freeport Mcmoran company because God didn't create it just for yourself. Do not think that I am a local native tribe so you can do anything without considering others people around you.
Honestly, I'm very annoyance & despair over the 3 & 1/2 years but I guess everthing has to be done this way. I don't know why people are so selfish,,, I mean, come on what's the problem by giving scholarships cox the point is we all want to develope our own country (Papua),right?. So, can they just give the freakin scholarships to everyone I mean EVERYONE no matter where do you come from, black, white, brown, yellow or whatever. Seriously, this is one thing that always annoyed me this whole time. God gives aboundant natural resourcesto Papuanese such as the biggest gold company which called PT Freeport. I think He doesn't give it only for one tribe but it is for general, It should be enjoyed by everyone.
The 2 of my best friends who came here with me went back to my country after 1 year cox their parents couldn't afford to pay their school fees anymore. It made me very sad & sometimes I tell my parents if I want to go home but they just tell me to be patient. Sometimes, I feel quilty cox I decided to come here but there's nothing I can do ,everthyng it's too late to rewind again. Even my parents, I have no ide how they manage money to pay my school fees. They are not a billinonare or millionarre or trillionaire but they just hard workers. Milliions, billions, trillions words of thank you go to both my parents who are amazing, incredible, fantastic & gorgeous people I have ever had. I'm the luckiest person that God ever made cox having them. I love them SO MUCHHHHHHH....!!!!
I'm going to tell you something that It is not easy to live in different countries, far from your families & learn new languages. We need to adapt with new environment & trust me it's really hard. It's not like when we live with our family, now everthing has to be new & we learn how to be an independent person, do everrthing by ourself.
Since I came here there are many problems come & go like wind. My mother always says: “never give up, be convinced & believe that everything must have intent & purpose, you just need to wait for the right time to get the answer”.
These words always raise my spirits. I don't care what people think coz I believe that God would take me to the beautiful plan that he has made for my future. All problems I face patienly because I know that I'm strong, like my parents who are also strong to earn money for me. Let people talk & gossip about my family, when my mother sells food to the comunities, & let them talk about my father when he helps my mother by called him"AIBON" , but U know what... I don't Give A Damn SHItt... For me everthing that happens in my life is a gift & I will take it whether I like it or not....If we want to accomplish somethin in our life we need to get a shame & work hard cox there's nothing you can get easily in this world, you gotta make it happen.
This is my story & thank you for reading^ here, i'm not judging anyone but I'm just expressing my opinions & my angers. Sorry if there are words that are not pleased..!!!

*** My life in Aussie
While I'm studying in Darwin,various efforts have also been done by my parents in order to obtain scholarships to several institutions. One of them is demanded assistance to the regent (Bupati) & the legislature (DPR) but they suggested that I need to bring my school reports every term so they can have a look at the reports. We thought that they were going to help me because the both leaders of the instutions are our relatives. In addition, we also tried to apply scholarships to one of the well known institution which called Correctional institutions Amungme Kamoro (LPMK).***
It has been 3 & 1/2 years now & the scholarships from the man or neither from the institutions NEVER came to me. I have no ide whether they were making around with me & my family or they just lied to us. Only God knows the answer!!!.
