To fulfill a good nutrition for children, especially in Aceh, need attention from every one. We can start from the family who can give full attention in health and nutrition issue. Aceh is rich with its natural resources so there will be no difficulty in providing nutritious food.
Other thing that we should consider is the behavior change in the matter of exclusively breastfeeding, early breastfeeding initiation, appropriate complementary feeding (introduced after infants reach six months of age) practicing. Other aspect that we should consider is the integrated health post revitalization program.
Believing that nutrition is an important thing in ensuring the children future, it is inevitable to pay attention to include nutrition indicator in our development indicator and to have a plan to decrease stunting percentage
Perdamen Sagala, Serambi IndonesiaThe word “trafficking” normally brings to mind images of women and children trafficked for the sex trade but the truth is the fish or shrimp on your plate is more likely to have been pimped by traffickers buying and selling labor for the fishing industry...and this is especially true in Southeast Asia.
Abid Gulzar, The Jakarta PostOn the commemoration of this year-National Education Day, we are asked to reflect the impact of education on giving provision to our future generation in aim to achieve a better life chance. Until now, we still face the barriers in providing the contextualized and qualified education. In order to achieve this, we need to give more attention on education autonomy and school curriculum. In education autonomy matters, it is need to make the learning topic varied. Not only teach students as stated on the text book but also from the real life. So, in the learning process there will be living curriculum. School curriculum is life itself.
