My first outward-bound with ALSA (Asian Law Students Association)



My trip to follow ALSA outward-bound with my friends and committed of ALSA was very impression. Preceded only one but, so we must crowded anyone aside that, but spirit and enthusiasms still strong.
Then the bus is leave in 13.30 a.m. when still in road city, bus can walked with flawless but after turned into village region the road was covered with rocks and along road is near with coast, so a part of road become narrow and only one car can pass trough. In our trip we become worried, whether we walk in right road or maybe wrong road because in 3 hours of trip the road that we pass is not looking like the car road and there is not explained of village. But finally, at 16.30 p.m we arrived in outward-bound area at Pusat Penelitian Lingkungan Hidup Puttondo ;Centre of Living Space Puttond (PPLH)
My feeling when first time I came into this area is calm and quite. Because, if can I explain it is top of Celebes, and maybe just tens families life there, with jobs as fisherman and as a seaweed farmer.
After we walked into area about 5 minute, we got warm reception by 2 workers who work there and bring us in a room of seminar that at first time I look very unique because the desk made like ladder and square shape that suitable for discussion. In this place the worker explain about the history and good manners at PPLH in 10 minuets, after that we take a break, dinner and got lesson about 8 hours for prepare our self to face the challenged outward-bound . Then at 01.00 a.m. me and my friends has already to outward-bound.
First we assembled in one group and take explanation about 4 post. Each post had different task. Pos number 1 give task about lesson of law, post number 2 give task all about ALSA, post number 3 test about our mental and last post had task is knowing our psychology.
Fortunately, I was join in group 1, so 5 my friends and I can started in beginning that can made first finish but made us difficult on looking for the post. It’s happened in looking for post number 4, almost 4 minutes we just walk around in same places.
Finally, at 03.00 a.m our adventure has finish with satisfied feeling, with immediately each person from my group looking for place for sleep until 06.00 a.m. we get up from short dream but we thanks to God can got sufficient rest because the challenge that we got very difficult and long.
At 08.00 a.m. it’s time to breakfast although only noodle cup and plain water it can remedy our hungry. After breakfast all group gather together to follow last games as a part of agenda in inauguration of ALSA.
In this games each group get test in intelligentsia, cohesive and fairness. After games it’s time that make all participants nervous because time to inauguration as member of ALSA, all participants accept as member of ALSA at year of 13 2007/2008 by taking swear from director of ALSA.
Finally at 12.00 p.m. we already to comeback, before it we take a photos, walked around it. When I was step my foot out from PPLH there are something in my heart that made me hard left it because I loving that place the situations like in my old village. I hope someday I could comeback there with my friends specially my friends from ALSA, like the symbol is unity in diversity.
