ANGEL IN FOREST
ANGEL HERO: SAUR MARLINA MANURUNG
by TUTI LISKA from 24 Senior High School in Bandung
Women? What is the first thing that comes to your mind if we mention the word women? Maybe a meek person or a housekeeper, especially in eastern
culture. Is it right? If we look to the world right now, maybe we can say that they already have taken steps forward. That is proven by the fact that there are so
many women who are learning that they can reach for everything they want without losing their identity as women. The success of great women in the world
brings equality and dignity; their work cannot be ignored at all. In fact, it is inspiring.
A map of Indonesia in pink. The ancient tradition that restricted women so they couldn’t
be at the same level with men, was altered with the help of Raden Ajeng Kartini, an advocate for womens rights and womens
education in Indonesia, and her book Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang Letters of a Javanese Princess. Maybe the book was also
the thing that inspired a woman named Saur Marlina Manurung. Saur Marlina Manurung who was born in Jakarta, Indonesia on 21st
February 1972. Indonesia is an archipelago with many tribal people in remote places and Saur Marlina Manurung, whose nickname is Butet,
broke through barriers in the education world with her will to improve education for children living in the Jambi Forest. She volunteered to teach people of the
Anak Dalam Tribe in this remote area how to read and write.
Anak Dalam tribe is only one of many tribal in Indonesia. They live in Bukit Dua Belas region, National Park in Jambi Province, about 225 km Westside Jambi.
In her young age, this single woman surprisingly decided to live in deep forest where Anak Dalam exists. Her choice was also made in part because of her love of
nature, but also to help the people who others call kabu, which means stink, dirty, and stupid. But Anak Dalam themselves prefer to be called Anak Rimba. In
Indonesian these words mean children of the forest.
Many people asked why Butet Manurung, who is a scholar from Padjadjaran University Bandung, preferred to live with the Anak Dalam. Easily she
answered that it was just a coincidence. Actually, she planned to live in the deep forest of Irian, the western half of Indonesia. This daughter of Victor Manurung
and Anartiur Samosir is a huge fan of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones. The movie inspired her to use the teaching technique of learning through playing.
Her hard work has given her a great satisfaction. After a year of teaching
she was awarded by LIPI and UNESCO in 2000 as MAN and BIOSFER of the
year. Beside that she got the 1st ANTV Women of the year in Education.
Although she has made great achievements, she still hopes for more and that
someday she can be an educational consultant for other deep forest tribes. Her bravery and success
force us to study harder than ever and to dig to our deepest potential talent.
