Hari pertama: Ksenia, Olga, ma Zhanygul

“Epcot Theme Park was the first place to go on the first day. The wonderful speakers such as Imam Mohamad Bashar Arafat, Kimberly King and Hamzah Khan introduced the participants about the background of this program, what CECF actually is, and the whole idea about BUBW Conference. The concept that we all are the family of Adam and Eve gave the students a better idea that each of us is same but different and unique at the same time. That we are nothing compared to this whole universe and we have time limit to live our life to the fullest. It depends on us, what we can do to make this world better. Students are so interested in the topics that all of the speakers talked about. Strong speech was given by Sultana Ali as the keynote speaker during dinner. She delivered quotes of many successful people all around the world.” (Ucun, 2012)

“Breakout sessions were led by the chaperones who were already assigned to assist the students during the conference. Students’ participations make the event alive with so many brilliant questions and answers. They were so brave to say what really happened in their countries, the reason why and the idea to solve it. It ended with several students gave presentations to sum up what they just discussed in the sessions. A little rest by cultural presentations given by students from Germany, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Tunisia were so informative and amusing, again, a strong bond created by knowing each other better.” (Ucun, 2012)

Ada satu kenangan yang pahit tapi indah banget buat dikenang. Pas sesi instrospeksi diri, si ucun cerita tentang perjuangan bundanya dia. Ga perlu aku ceritain detailnya, yang apsti aku tersentuh banget. Aku bangga banget punya temen kayak Ucun, yang bisa ngelaluin banyak rintangan dan tetep tabah walau ada cobaan. Jadi keinget anak – anak YES laind ari Indonesia. Kita ber-70 punya satu kesamaan: kita pernah ada masalah besar, bisa nyeleseinnya, dan mengambil hikmahnya buat masa depan!

“The interfaith day on the second day was another way to facilitate everyone visiting and seeing the religious practices and worship places of three different religions which had been existed since years and years ago. Students were so curious to know as much as they can from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As a symbol of respect, the boys wore kippah or a small cap before entering the synagogue, and girls wore scarf before entering the mosque.” (Ucun, 2012)

“It’s just so beautiful to experience a religious practice that we’ve never done before, not judge other people without knowing what it does really mean and teach us about. Everyone was expected to be respectful in these holly places, same thing with the hospitality shown by the Rabbay, Pastor and Imam. The next thing was Panel Discussion presented by three representatives from each religion. It broke any misunderstanding and misconceptions that we all had before. Again, a strong bond created by knowing each other better.” (Ucun, 2012)

Walo gitu, aku salut sama kebanyakan anak. Walaupun pas sesi interfaith banyak pertanyaan “konyol” dan “jleb”, tetep aja mereka tuh siswa pilihan dari negara masing – masing. Di akhir sesi kita pun udah bias dapet kata mufakat dan ga eyel – eyelan lagi.

Rama sama Shinta. Unyu banget deh

Di depan Cinderella's Palace: Arief, Santi, Ucun, ma aku.

Berhubung kelompok kita kecil, kita langsung bias koordinir dengan cepat buat naik bus ke sana. Objek yang kita kunjungin ada banyak banget. Kita naik roller coaster yang namanya Mount Everest. SEEEREEEM GILAAAAA! Tapi asik banget. Muahahahaha. Terus kita coba arum jeram, yang asik banget. Sayangnya, setengah badanku basah semua. Same goes to Santi. Dia malah lebih “klebes” daripada aku. Kita juga nonton musicalnya The Lion King. KEREEEEEN ABIIIIIIS! Bener – bener worthed deh.

“Last day was so emotional for us. Nobody wanted to leave this wonderful conference. It’s not only about conference itself, but it’s also about the friendship chain that was built since the first second in BUBW, one motion of happiness that we all did together in the rain, One voice singing together, the stories shared to all of us, and one dream for all of us to achieve. There were banquet program and cultural performances by students from Ukraine, Senegal, Tajikistan, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh with standing ovation from everyone. A lot of students wore their national dresses which seemed like the fairy tale characters according to Disney’s visitors. Finally, several students gave their speeches about how BUBW really mean to them. It was so sad and made us realized how wonderful these three days in our life. The very end session was the certificate ceremony to all of the participants and people who have contributed a lot in BUBW.” (Ucun, 2012)

“Well done BUBW Florida alumni! We will spread the message of this Human Conference to our community, this one mission, peace. All of us, the young generation are needed to fix whatever it is not right and change whatever it is that needs to be changed. Thanks for US Department of State, CECF, our placement organizations, and everyone who gave us this opportunity and passed this passion through us to change the world.” (Ucun, 2012)
