00:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:11, Amen.

00:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:20 So we wear our best costume to attend a party.

01:24 But it is not a party that you used to know,

01:26 like a birthday party or a wedding party.

01:29 This party is being celebrated by all people of Indonesia.

01:33 We're going to attend the Democratic Party.

01:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:39 February 14, 2024.

01:43 For some people, it is a regular day.

01:47 But for us Indonesians, it is the day to remember.

01:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:59 We will look back on this day for everything

02:01 that will happen to our country in the next five years.

02:06 Today, we choose the leaders and the legislative members,

02:10 shaping our future by giving our votes on the election day.

02:15 Here in the Lumbis Hulo district,

02:18 a remote area in Kalimantan Island, 635 people

02:22 are very enthusiastic about attending the Democratic Party.

02:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:30 These people might be contributing a small number,

02:33 only 0.0003% from the total number of 204 million voters.

02:42 But even one voice still has a power.

02:45 The people believe their power is strong enough

02:47 to bring the change.

02:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:52 This is not only an evidence.

02:55 This is the pride.

02:56 This is the hope for a better Indonesia

02:58 in the upcoming five years.

03:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:04 Lumbis Hulo people have a big expectation

03:08 for the development of their community.

03:11 So what actually they're expecting

03:13 from the future leaders?

03:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:19 Lumbis Hulo district is located in Nonokan region,

03:22 sea-north Kalimantan, precisely on the border area

03:26 between Indonesia and Sabah, Malaysia.

03:30 There are 10 villages with around 900 people,

03:33 the majority being Christian and Catholic.

03:36 Did you know, the first time I saw this place,

03:39 it reminded me of New Zealand, where people

03:42 live together with nature.

03:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:46 The expanse of green grasses here

03:48 is a runway built in 1978 by the missionaries

03:53 of Indonesian Protestant Christian Church, or GKPE.

03:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:59 And the runway is still functional until today.

04:03 But as long as there is no plane about to land,

04:06 the grass field has become a playground

04:09 for the kids and the cows.

04:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:16 Here, children love to play.

04:19 It is said that the balance between studying and playing

04:22 is good for their development.

04:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:27 But unfortunately, only elementary and junior high

04:31 school exist with the conditions

04:33 and needing to be concerned about.

04:36 Government assistance is delivered to this district,

04:39 but they need more.

04:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

04:47 Sol Siawan, the principal of Lumbis Hulo 001 Elementary

04:51 School, showed us the fragile building structure that can

04:55 harm the safety of the students.

04:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

05:42 Related to elementary school, Lumbis Hulo 001 Junior High

05:45 School also faces the same condition.

05:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:51 Both schools have to share the space during their teaching

05:54 and learning activities.

05:57 Rudy, as the principal of Lumbis Hulo 001 Junior High School,

06:01 hopes to have their own building with proper supporting

06:05 facilities.

06:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:03 Margareth, one of Lumbis Hulo residents,

07:05 has been lucky to get a higher education.

07:09 She is now working as a midwife at Lumbis Hulo Auxiliary Health

07:13 Center, allowing her to contribute more to the society.

07:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

07:43 Dedicated to her job for the village since 2012,

07:47 Margareth faces many challenges as a midwife

07:50 in a remote area, from the lack of health workers

07:54 to the shortage of drug supplies.

08:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

09:05 If a patient's condition worsens and requires

09:08 more advanced medical treatment, Margareth

09:11 will refer the patient to the nearest hospital

09:14 located in Malina Region C.

09:18 It is a long way to go.

09:21 They have two options of transportation, the plane

09:25 and the boat.

09:28 The plane has an inconsistent schedule

09:31 and only departs from Nunnifant District to Lumbis Hulo,

09:34 but not the other way around, while the boat

09:37 has a more flexible schedule, but it

09:39 isn't available every day.

09:43 The plane only carries passengers

09:45 with limited baggage, while the boat

09:48 can carry more passengers and more baggage

09:50 with an extra charge.

09:51 The plane spends around 45 minutes of travel

09:58 with the subsidized price of around 450,000 rupiah

10:03 or 28 US dollars for one trip, while the boat spends

10:08 around six to eight hours of travel from Lumbis Hulo

10:12 to Masalong District, the closest region that can connect

10:15 them to the city.

10:18 The subsidized price is around 200,000 to 300,000 rupiah

10:24 or around 13 to 20 US dollars for one trip.

10:30 However, if the residents have an emergency business

10:33 and no subsidized boat available on that day,

10:38 they need to book the boat, which

10:39 costs up to 4 million rupiah for one trip only.

10:43 And it does apply not only for the health care.

10:52 Lumbis Hulo people need to go to the city

10:54 to access higher education, food stock supplies,

10:58 and many more.

11:02 How about the land transport?

11:04 It hasn't been established yet.

11:05 Panos Langkau, the village head of Tau Lumbis,

11:12 emphasizes the condition.

12:18 but the villagers do not lose hope,

12:20 waiting for a better change.

13:05 As the wise saying goes, life is 10% what happens to you

13:29 and 90% of how you react to it.

13:33 Living within limitations shows how strong they are

13:37 facing challenges that others may not be able to face

13:41 and can still be grateful for what they have.

13:46 But they need leaders who keep promises,

13:50 a promise to hear the voices even in the most remote area,

13:55 promise to take care of them and help them grow.
