of information and this is a good example of how clubs can actually interact
and help each other. Lots of fun too! ** Medan English Club had
also put advertisement in their local newspaper ‘Waspada’ to attract more
members. Surprisingly they received lots of phone calls from professional

Labuhan Batu - North Sumatra
“We are please to express our warm gratitude concerning your willingness
in publish our photo in The Pouch. We also would like to report a special
event we held during the Ramadhan 2001.
From the third
day to sixteenth day of Ramadhan the club visited Desa Batu Anam in Asahan
Regency, North Sumatra. Batu Anam is a remote village which surrounded by
hundreds hectares of oil palm tress. It takes about three hours by car to
get there from our headquarter. There were twenty person of club members
who took part in this visit. We were all divided into four groups. Every
group had a task namely to manage programs in the dusuns where the groups
stayed. The purpose of this visit was to invite elementary school pupils
as well as teenagers of the village to adorn the Ramadhan month with useful
activities.
The programs we did during the visit were:
- To teach elementary school pupils at the age of 9 - 11 years old
to sing English songs, to greet ‘Good morning / afternoon or goodbye’,
to say thank you after receiving something and to teach daily
conversation which directly relates to their daily life.
- To make sure Junior High School students in Desa Batu Anam know
about KGRE.
- To teach the teenagers on how to recite the Qur’an (Muslim Holy
book) in good manner.”
English students in this area can hardly listen to KGRE radio shows because
of the long distance from either RRI Pekanbaru or RRI Medan. We hope that
with their help, KGRE can soon be broadcast on ‘DESWARA 88.9 FM, the only
private station available in the area. |
