NTT students hostel

NTT students hostel

From Media Indonesia

I am from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and am now studying in a private university in Jakarta. When I came in Jakarta in 1986 I was told that there was a students hostel in Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta. But since then I have never heard of any intellectual activities taking place in the hostel.

Some time ago I happened to pass by the hostel. I was so surprised to see the poor condition of the building. Who is really responsible for its bad maintenance? In this relation I would like to suggest to the Governor of the East Nusa Tenggara and the NTT community leaders to:

* Renovate the building and provide it with necessary equipment so that it can be used for carrying out intellectual activities.

* To find a new location on which a new building can be built if, as rumored, the building is to be sold.

Those who now stay in the hostel should support any effort for the restoration of the building. And societal leaders can also play a role in the effort to enhance the quality of the human resources, particularly the younger generation of the NTT province.
