76 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

This week Indonesia celebrated 76 years of independence. All over the archipelago were taking place joyful celebrations. In our place where Dajuma is located, it takes on a special meaning because it is the place where Colonel N’Gurah Rai landed with his soldiers to fight against the Dutch army. It was in 1946 a year after the proclamation of independence. Since then, the whole Indonesian nation remembers this courageous officer who, with disregard for his own life and despite limited military resources, succeeded in changing the order of things. A great lesson in courage!
