A crash course in changing the world.

I chose Hamzah Harun Al'Rasyid as my hero. Hamzah Harun Al'Rasyid was born in Jakarta in 1962. When he was a child he learned from his mother, a religious instructor, that those who help the poor are forever blessed. He studied about agriculture in University but soon turned to economics and management. He trained at the Entrepreneurship College in Jakarta. In 1989, he graduated from college and he got a job working in the slum of Luar Batang, near Jakarta’s harbor. He set up kindergartens,…

My first step to make difference is by tell my friends and people near me that water is really important for daily needs. More than billion people can't access to clean drinking water. Almost everyday children are dying because of it. Which is why I'm going to tell them the first move that they can change those problems. I created a poster that said "2.5 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean water. Mostly, 5 billion children are die causes of water illness. We can take the…

My favorite, awe-inspiring clean water project is water1st.org. Their solutions are really the main problems for those who can't afford clean water. The main problem means that if we solve it, it can change lots of things that makes big difference. The biggest problem that they face is that water. They have to walk a long to get water, but that water is not clean which means that its already contaminated. One of my favorite solution is water integrated with toilets and hygiene education.…

By 2020, I'll be in University in the State or I might be working already. Well I'm not sure yet, but let's just say that I'm still in University while taking part time job. By that time, I'll be taking the Architect Majors.

Although they are not truly indigenous, I choose to keep a Gullah secret for my project. The Gullah are not native to the United States. Rather, they are a distinctive group of African-Americans that were brought to the southeastern United States as slaves. Today, the Gullah live mainly in small farming and fishing communities along the southeastern Atlantic coast and on a chain of Sea Islands that runs parallel to the coast. Although many Gullah families have moved to cities, like New York…

Making the cost of everything would be better for the world and also mostly to Africa. It would be better for me and everyone in this world. Every single day people die because they don't have money to buy food, drinks and etc but its not only just that. Africa have more situation than any other countries but it still also causes other countries too. In Africa some people don't have money to eat or drinks so mostly people in there get famine. Mostly in Africa there are not much jobs so…

I chose this secret because; if you give the finished technologies the people who is using will just use and they will not be bothered to make and any. The technology that they are using will eventually break or will be damaged, if the technology break down they won't know how to fix it. If they don't make anything their skills will never improve. In the other way if we teach them how to make and improve their skills they are going to fix the technology that they have used before and maybe…

Can you live by only using $2 a day? Trying to live by only using $2 a day is really hard and frustrating, despite people in Africa still living more or less $2 a day. It is crazy, simply, we cant do anything like our normal life. We cant eat as much as we normally do, we cant go to the place when we want to or else we have to walk really far distance. We cant go to the hospital when we want to if we're sick and they all are suffering from the limited things that they can…

My most interesting topic was "Try living for a week on $2 a day" because it is not possible to live a week on $2 a day. If we play with friends we usually use more than $2. We eat, buy, and we waste some money to buy stuffs. If we eat it with friends or by my self it cost more than $2 because now days, the foods in restaurants are very expensive. If other people try to live a week on $2 a day, they will save their money and not waste it. They will feel bad on wasting a lot of money on them…

I have chose 'Think like a child' as the most important secret because children have no limit to their thinking. Children are young they have full of imagination they like to try new things they are full of curiosity. They also doesn't really have fixed ideas because they haven't learn as much as an adult or student who have learned and studied.
Therefore they don't really have fixed ideas of this world or way to solve a problem they might have different…

I think that providing skill is better than just giving finished technology, because finished technology is finished and the function can't be develop or expand more. Finished technology cannot last long, sometimes it will not functioning or even breaks, then they will just need to try to fix it or they can only throw the product away. In other words with providing skills, they can explore more skills by their own with their knowledge and imagination. Skills can also last long, it will never…

From the 33 secrets that was written in the Exhibit A by people around the world, one of my favorite one is "Talk to the people who have the problem – and LISTEN to what they have to say". Getting to listen to people's feelings and thought about what they are facing, their hard time is something great or we could say it's a fate. Because some people don't really like to communicate with people they are not familiar with or they don't want to talk to. There are very little people on this…

When Alchemy calls me in 2020, I will be either playing professional soccer or designing video games with Microsoft, If they are still a working company. The soccer club team I would want to play with is Manchester United. And the Country team I would want to play with is USA. Soccer and Video game designing are both a very different job, so sadly, I would have to only pick one.
