Bamboo Exposure in Yogyakarta
The other participants of
Bamboo training have exposure in Yogyakarta to get further information working
with bamboo. They are divided into 4 groups to visit some objects. The objects
of the exposure in Yogyakarta are Klaten, Bantul river bank, Karti Aji, Karya
Manunggal, Sahabat Bambu and Semoya Kindergarten.
1. Bamboo Craft in
Klaten.
They have exported their
product, bamboo duck to Europe. They use petrol and camphor to make their
product durable.
2. Bamboo Conservation at
River Bank in Bantul
Banguntapan village is a
small village in Bantul Regency, eastern part of Yogyakarta. Jemingan, a church
member of Javanese Church of Mergangsan lived close to the riverbank. He guides
students to explore the area.
Bamboo has grown well in
the riverbank for a long time even he does not know who has planted them. There
are many kinds of bamboo there, such as, ori, apus, wulung and petung. Those
bamboos prevent soil erosion because of water stream especially when flood is
coming. People living surroundings use bamboo to make bamboo wall or sell the
bamboo intact.
It is pity that people
there do not have synergized management to sell bamboo as special product of
the village. They sell bamboo independently so there is possibility for
unhealthy competition on bamboo selling. Recently, it is very surprising that
local government ask people to clear the bamboo for health reasons but people
there defend to grow the bamboo for economical reasons.
3. Karti Aji and Karya
Manunggal
The pioneer of Karti Aji,
bamboo handicraft centre is Mrs. Pariyo after following bamboo training held by
one NGO in Yogyakarta. Then she asks other women in her village to begin
working with bamboo making some handicraft and kitchen tools. Because of good
prospect, her husband and her son help her to develop the business, named Karti
Aji. Karti Aji located in Sleman and now it has 14 workers. Market of Karti Aji
reaches foreign countries as export product.
4. Sahabat Bambu and ABA
Semoya Kindergarten
Students need to visit
and to know further about Sahabat Bambu after following the training. They come
again in a group to learn this community and the business organization.
