THE HIDDEN WATERFALL


There are many ways that we can do to spend our holidays. Mostly we can choose to visit tourism objects to relax and put away the problem for a while. In our region, West Kalimantan, there are many options that we can choose like Pasir Panjang beach, Samudra Beach and Rindu Alam in Singkawang.
But  if we want to get more challenges in the way to get recreation place, we can choose to go to the hidden waterfall, named Pancur Aji Waterfall in Sanggau  regency. Before we  get there, we must be well-prepared. We get there through long journey and the last we have to be on foot hiking to get to the waterfall.

A Young Boy and His Bicycle


Did you know desire can beat everything?  It can work in every condition and every situation that seems like impossible to do. It was happened to a boy who lives in Telok Pakeai especially in Arus Deras Village. Truly,we did not asked what his name was, but we just call him Budi. He was about 9 years old and he just an ordinary boy who lives his life normally.  His desire to study beat his limited facility that he had, and he inspired the committee and give a value about giving thanks to god about everything that he gave to us.
