There is one story that I experienced but I have not had time to share on my blog. On 21 - 28 November 2011, I was in the middle of oil palm plantations in Merlung District, Jambi Province. I have to assist a study conducted by one of my on-campus community agencies. Go to the jungle, remote areas, instead of paying the expenses and travel, I get paid! So, the story was originally like this.
About a few weeks ago, I go to my uni to meet with one of my lecturer. Not unexpectedly, she offered me a freelance work, which I accepted. Eight days in the oil palm plantation to conduct a research on education and the mapping of internal and external factors that can support the ongoing education. The interesting thing for me is, I imagine how I could interact with the locals there, which is a very rare thing for people who live in the big cities.
