Chosen as a student to take part in the Campus Teaching Program organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture is certainly very encouraging. Tania Azhari Meliyani is one of the UNY students who had the opportunity to join the program. The resident of Tente Village, Woha District, Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, teaches English and Indonesian at SDN 4 Tente, which is not far from his house. Instead of getting teaching experience, the 2018 English Literature study program students experienced an unexpected event.

Tania said that on Friday, early April 2021, a flash flood disaster hit several areas in Bima Regency, such as Monta District and Woha District. The flash flood had a considerable impact on the economy of the community, especially the farmers where rice fields, fields, and ponds were damaged. Not only that, this flash flood also has an impact on the world of education. Some school walls and fences were damaged. In the village of Tente, Woha District, it was also affected by flash floods, so the school where Tania served was forced to close. "One of the things that really motivates me to keep teaching is that students who are not affected by the flood are still enthusiastic about asking me to continue teaching," he said. 

At the end of the teaching session, Tania asked the students to pray together so that the community and other students affected by the flash flood could be steadfast and patient with the disaster. It is also said that during the month before the flood, he taught mostly offline and only taught online a few times. Tania also hopes that the community and the government will work together to find a joint solution so that this flash flood does not happen again in the future. (Dedy, DNA)
