Written by: Iswahyudhi N. R

There is not all of youth known about Millennium Development Goals. But, they know about what is happening in their country. In developed country, it’s common if youths know much about MDGS. How is about in developing country?

The situation above has been solved by youths itself. It is awareness campaign as the solution. Doing the campaign is the easiest that can we do for our world. But, before that, we have to do something, something as we known as an action. And these are my ideas:

1st action: Gathering friend.
Objective: Making a group for action toward MDGs achievement.

Gather your friends in one place, especially your close friends. For example, it’s your house. There, you have to do kind of presentation about world issues which are pressing our country. The authentic proves is needed in here. So, you must find proves from media, for example in internet and newspapers. These proves have a role as the making an awareness. When you are presenting the world situation, you have to present what is MDGs to your friends if they don’t know about it. The members are no need to much. You can do action with 6 until 10 persons or members in your group.

After you have finished your presentation, tell your reason in that gathering. Tell them your vision and mission as your purpose in making action group. And, in the end, you have to put a name for your group. In your group, tries no mentor, no leader, or no lower member. You have a same privilege. If you can do it, if you are enjoying with the management, it doesn’t matter too.

2nd action: Visiting village.
Objective: Gathering MDGs situation information at the village that is you visiting.

Bring your group to the small village in your country, if you can, try to go to hinterland. Ask the people there about 7 goals of MDGs which are happening in there, but do not touch MDGs in directly because they don’t know about it. Try to close with them using friendly approach.

If you need the statistic files, you can ask the village administration in there. If it is still not enough, you can ask the Statistics Agency in your district or city where you live. These files will help you to know about what should you do for youth action in that village someday. Which one is the majority goal that should be done by your group, and make those problems in a list.

3rd action: Design the action
Objective: Provide the action design for MDGs achievement.

This is the third step. Your group must discuss about the model of action. What kind of action that suitable on the problems which faced by people in the village that has been visited by you? Find it by discussion.

What kinds of action are they? The actions must be the real action. For example, you can do a teaching reading and writing program to children and illiterate people in village that have been observed by your group. But, at first you have to make a step or design about how to do it, what is the first step of it or how to begin? That is the function of this design.

O ya, I almost forget, try to make an action that could not spend much money; at least your group can get the funds by your group members. It should be like a trip where you can spend much money for it. So, why not for this project?

4th action: Let’s go!
Objective: Implementation of Action.

Simple! Let’s Do the design, make documentations about your group works, and make it as your lovely trip or adventure. But, don’t forget that you need time to stay there. You must have a good fund of it. But, how could we find the funds?

For find funds or sponsors for your action, you can do your own contributions and all of your friends in group. You also can find them with make a partnership with government, by making a short proposal.

5th action: Publication of Action
Objective: Let people know about what have you done for your place, your province/state, your country, especially for youths in your place.

Publish your activity (action) from newspaper, web, blog, or other media that could be known by most of people, especially for youths in where you live. Try to approach youths using media of information that they use mostly. It can help in raising the awareness to them.

6th action: Let’s go to school
Objective: Campaign about MDGs, your group, your action, and gathering new members.

Write a letter to the high school about your group will do a visitation to the school. I think the principle will appreciate your action.

Use the documentations that you have when you were doing your action in hinterland or small village as evidences of situation. Tell the students about what MDGs stand for and what are they? Tell about children and youths role in MDGs.

From this action, you have to give the information about MDGs, but don’t forget to give information about your group. Tell them about your group purpose to. Tell them about they can do the same thing with you. Tell them about how to start. In the end, if they don’t know about how to make a group or start the action, just invite them to your group.

7th action: Evaluation and Find the Next Action
Objective: Finding the mistakes from your action about what are the insufficiencies about your action and your group? And find the next action by the same way (from 1st until 7th).

Just do the evaluation about your action. You have to know how success your action, if the percentage is enough you can do the next action, if it’s not, you have to find the other action but have a same target with your last action. Make the new designs.

8th action:Celebration
Objective: Awarding your action.

We need to celebrate something after we have done something. This idea is needed for personal or group. The celebration can give the positive aura for our spirit in doing something. When your works have been awarded, you will be satisfied and you will want it again. So, it can bring the new spirit and new idea for you. If you celebrate your action with your entire group by something fun, no doubt, you will feel the satisfaction on your work, yourself, and pride to your group.
Next action will be easy, at least.

Last action: Have fun with it!

Just think all of actions that have been done by you are fun. Good appreciation, positive estimation or thinking, and positive works can make all of works become so full of fun.

“If you cannot talk, just do it by your brain, hand, and your smile…”
“Think if world can be reached by your hand…”
“See the world by your own hand, own skills, own dream…”
“We have one dream, that is live in peace…”
