Eko Ramaditya Adikara
Eko was a dictatorial Ramaditya arranger for music games, no one expected that a visually impaired as it can be Ramaditya arranger and even create a web blog. With yaritu motto "If you want to be loved, make yourself loveable", Rama was so lightly through life.
Rama had since childhood inserted into a special school by her parents. Starting from kindergarten unusual in the area of Semarang. But then after moving to Jakarta, he went into a public kindergarten (TK Beautiful Blossom) that is located not so far from home. In this kindergarten, I learned a little about Latin writings, letters and numbers. The result, now she can read / write using Latin script, although only for capital letters only.
In the year 1987, initially taken to a special-ed in the area of Lebak Bulus - South Jakarta.Rama was originally deposited in a dorm with disabilities Blind - Tan Miyat, but because of age is still too small to be able to live independently, then the parents then decided to postpone the idea. Finally, he officially entered as a student SLB / A National level coaches. Even Rama had lived in the home of one of his teachers, Mrs. Francine, to learn to read and write braille. Because his parents still do not have the heart, sometimes he was picked up and taken home every single day, when his parents agreed to meet once a week each, Rama.
Complete primary school, Rama continued his studies at Junior High School 226 - Jakarta. Rama finally able to go to school in junior high by 226 long struggle. Parents and teachers at SLB / A struggle to achieve that desire to ask SK to MOEC which states that disabled people can Blind a normal school. His father had to fight with 70 high school principals (schools Rayon intended) to maintain that Rama could attend public school. "Can!", That was the answer given her father when he doubted the Principal. Eventually, she began to be accepted in the SMP 226 that is located about 1 miles from school early.
With the help of Sandra, a friend, Rama increasingly have many friends and helped him to recognize his new school. Even Rama ranked 7th of about 500 students in exams Upgrading P4.
Education served as usual, only a few exceptions, in some subjects require special attention, such as science and physics, he could not follow it very well because it can not see, so the teacher concerned subjects working with the SLB / A to give the model integrated education.
SMA also lived in public schools, the Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 11 Jakarta. With the aim to get more religious knowledge. Also a lot of visually impaired seniors who have attended there, so the teachers become more familiar. Meanwhile, through his lectures at the University of Darma Persada, Jakarta.
Initially UMPTN Rama tried to follow, but failed because one step in determining the direction (Selects International Relations). After that, he tried to register with the University of Darma Persada and choose S1 majoring in English Literature. The university had even returned the money sign with reason: the University does not have / provide supporting facilities for the Blind. Hearing this, her parents insisted on moving forward. Finally, her parents met Rama English department head until I allowed to take a test in and successfully accepted as a freshman.
Regarding her interest in computers, Rama has known since childhood computer. Only then will the computer still understanding the bias between gaming machines, calculating machines, and machines to write a letter. Rama became very interested in computers because the imagination was like watching a futuristic cartoon that set forth a computer in the story, or because the neighbor who was a Atari Street, a computer that doubles as a gaming machine, which was released by Atari (1986). When asked his goals when it is jawabannnya is "want to be a computer expert".
Rama computer when the love started at SLB (SD), and each week after returning from the dormitory, he was invited to his father's office. When Rama came to know that computer games based on DOS (Disk Operating System). Rama was also getting to know the names of word-processing applications and data such as Lotus 123, WordStar, Dbase, and several programming languages, although at that time he only knew the name without knowing much about its function (more interested in the game).
Only in 1994, when joined with Yayasan Mitra Netra, Rama knew the computer to talk, which is a set of ordinary computers equipped with special equipment that can make a sound. The way it works; hardware and special software installed on the computer to convert / translate the text or objects that appear on the screen in the form of sound. Mitra Netra in Rama's lots to learn DOS and some basic applications word processing and data such as WordStar, WordPerfect, Lotus 123, Dbase, and a number of other applications. This word processing application widely used Rama because he really liked the writing.
Even once in 1996, Silvia, one student who was conducting research in the dorm where Rama lived was amazed when I saw the diary to record documents in WordStar format. After graduating and working as a secretary, Silvia personally taught Rama keyboard mastery of techniques, including shortcuts and 10 finger typing technique. Within a period of less than 2 months, Rama had managed to master the technique of typing with 10 fingers smoothly. Until now, science has successfully passed Silvia him able to type as many as 60 words (Indonesia / English) within 1 minute.
In 1998, Rama began to learn the operation of Windows. At that time, he found out that computers can be realized to talk with current technology, and do not need to buy a special device. Simply install the soundcard and speakers on the computer, then install the screen reader software (screen reader). Screen reader products are very popular and well used so far is JAWS (Job Access With Speech).
Rama also controlled hardware (hardware), both computers and notebooks. Through books and computer magazines, he learned much knowledge about computers. Even Rama also started trying to assemble their own computers, often be asked by an acquaintance who wanted to obtain computer prices with decent configuration. Operates and learning software in Windows is a favorite. Barriers as a matter of blind screen reader compatibility of software. Not all software can be read or recognized by screen readers. Usually he or seek a shortcut to memorize scripts screen readers - via the Internet - which deliberately made people want to help the blind to use a particular application. These scripts will be imported so that screen readers can identify applications that are running.
We learn about any computer hardware, Rama still have to rely perabaannya. Then differentiate the cables of different colors, namely by giving outsmart a sticker or a sign of identification that can be palpated and used as a marker. Of course, events like an electric alus, blow up the processor, or incorrectly entered the hardware ever experienced.
While all this is how Rama reading the record books to school cassette form so that he can get the information in the print media by way of listening to these tapes.
Now, Rama was able to read the print media itself, the way he is using the scanner and use OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition), the technique of writing in a book scan into text in a way to scan the print media, and the results can be stored in text format or MS -Word, which can be read by screen readers.
Rama's life story more interesting when his fondness for games, took part in the arrangement of music for video games Nintendo Super Smash Brothers Brawl which was released February 10, 2008. Since then he diligently composed music. Work of musical composition that he had made more than a hundred pieces. Three of them used to the theme song of Final Fantasy VII game, a game made in Japan are very popular among lovers of computer games, including Indonesia.
In 2003, Rama created and established www.ramaditya.com, blogs, and he created his own design. This blog includes background music, also composed himself. How he could work on the laptop that is always taken to wherever he went. "I left the Braille since ten years ago when the screen reader technology (screen reader) present. For me it was a revolution. Until now I practically do not use Braille again. I could read a book or write on their computer as berpenglihatan normal, "said Rama, who just knew that if he blind at age seven years.
Last year, Rama makes an autobiographical book entitled 'BLIND POWER': Making peace with the darkness. This book contains the story of life, activities, talents, and determination of Rama, who is expected to provide inspiration to readers. Through this book, parents who have children diffable can provide a good example of how they should be educating and raising children with these special abilities. For the average person like us, this book can be penggugah motivation, morale giver, and penyentuh gratitude. Rama the blind alone could do it, our time is not.
Rama has many talents that are difficult in the picture if it is not seen directly. Rama can travel anywhere alone with public transport. Because he has studied the orientation of the field. Even he can know the direction of the wind from blowing wind. Rama never experienced that uncomfortable experience when crowded city bus, he accidentally touched a mother's twin mountains. No doubt, the mother of Rama punch. After knowing Rama a blind mom finally even apologize.
Rama himself is a severe addiction to music games that other people look like a "freak". The funny thing is she can enjoy the movies. Even he had to watch Kungfu Panda 3 times.
Rama now often asked to be a motivator. There have been many companies and schools that requested it. Among Prudential, Yayasan Al-Azhar, and Direct Home.
Rama also studied martial arts in White Pigeon. Here batinnnya increasingly honed skills.
Rama also love blogging. He has a blog on Multiply, and blog paid. Rama could serve any good comments. Even he can correct a spelling error on the blog someone else.
Rama had been sent to represent Indonesia in the Asian blind encounter in Thailand. At one session, Rama asked in English very fluently. Rama hearing was remarkable, so he was able to mimic pronunciation of the English language like a native speaker.
Sigit
Born without legs, Sidik always replied "Thank God I was born this way" when asked about the defects in the body. Sidik was the sixth child of ten children. His family was poor and to support the family, parents rely Sidik small shops in front of his house in Bogor.
When will bear Sidik, her mother had a dream that she would give birth to children with disabilities. However, children with disabilities that will bring fortune in the family. "Thank God, not long after I was born, said late mother, my father got a job immediately, so that it can finance education throughout their children to school." Sidik said in his modest home in Cempaka Putih.
Sidik was born with a condition that is concerned, he did not have both feet starting from the groin. So that pretty much only half of his body. Before using a wheelchair, he waved both hands to drag her body to walk.
Although his body was perfect, since small Sidik never want to bother people. He always tried to do all the activities themselves. He also did not want supported or carried, "I do not want to pity someone, I want to succeed not because people feel sorry for me, but because of my hard work." He said bluntly.
In 1992, Sidik married to Siti Rahmah who is also disabled. From their marriage of three daughters born healthy and normal. Their second child later died of an accident.
After many years working in the Foundation Purna Swa Prasidya but not produce the material means, Sidik opt out and find another job. Armed with a diploma certificate from the Institute of Computer Management Accounting, he was accepted at a contracting company as a personnel staff. But recently he worked, the 1998 financial crisis hit and the company was forced to close. So began a period of unemployment Sidik. But he would not idle for long, Sidik began attending various skills courses organized by the administration for persons with disabilities. One of the courses that attract the attention of the course is to make prints from cassava crackers.
"From the dozens of participants of the course, only I was the only person who still survive to make crackers until now. Others, fallen. "Sidik said. Capital when the contribution from the administration of one million rupiah. Sidik and his wife then started making crackers from cassava. "Once there is no brand, the plastic wrapping was innocent." He said. At the beginning of production he produced about 100 packs sized crackers 2 ounces of raw cassava 5 kilograms. "His name is also the first, my new merchandise crackers out after a month or more." He recalled.
Cassava crackers-making process somewhat more complicated than making cassava chips. If you make enough cassava chips by shredding cassava stems into thin slices and fried and finished. Making cassava chips cassava process is already peeled and grated, shredded it and then made into a dough by mixing various spices taste and a little flour. After the dough is shaped like a rod back into cassava and dried. After the dough a little clay, dough and then thinly sliced. Slices was not immediately fried, but again is dried for about two days to dry. Once dry, the new cassava slices fried crisp.
Of only 10 kilograms of cassava processing, processing Sidik now at least 50 to 75 kilograms of cassava per month. He also had a brand complete with a stamp on their product packaging. "I give Gurame Cap brand name, is absolutely nothing to do the same carp, but it stands gurami Umami, Crunchy, Delicious," he said smiling. "If ever there is a cost, I want this brand patented." He added.
All the production work from start to buy cassava until he worked himself to market it helped her. Every day he went out into the village to offer daganganya cracker stalls or cooperatives in government offices. "I use the system or titip consignment selling, the price of my four thousand, how many they sold up, but they usually sell five thousand dollars." Sidik said.
From ditekuni business since 1999 this year, was not too much to produce the material. Prints are still living in the building where she worked in the former number Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta. Her home had only consisted of three plots are partitioned plywood boards including the production room cracker "Cap gurame" it.
Luckily there is a local businessman who saw the persistence Sidik and eventually donated a motorcycle for business operations. "His name also did not have legs, I got confused too, how to drive?" But Sidik had lost his mind, he designed the bike so that perseneling lever can be operated by hand. With the help of a welder, be a motor with an additional metal rod attached to the brake perseneling and stamping. Do not forget he was also placed beside the cart to carry the load. "Motor's really helping the mobility and productivity of my business." Sidik said.
We have continued to develop marketing Sidik products, every day he is still around to co-operatives, shops across the Capital, Bank Mandiri, Bank Indonesia, and the Department of Labor. But in running this business, Sidik also experienced various constraints, such as capital and limited demand. "I would like to obtain additional capital, or at least there are people who want to become a partner to develop this business. I have a dream one time I was eating crackers as an American. "He said.
Sidik also admitted difficulty supplying its products to markets such as supermarkets or modern hipermaket. "Why should the company other than its form, they (the managers of the modern market-ed) also asked for a deposit of money, obviously losing my sainganlah" Sidik said bluntly.
When it comes to taste, cracker "Cap Gurame" was tasty and crispy. It was a mix of spicy and salty snacks suitable or enjoyed as a side dish.
Now, from the results of his efforts Sidik pocketed profits ranging 1 to 2 million rupiah per month. Although small in number, what is done Sidik including extraordinary. In limited circumstances, he becomes a true entrepreuner. Borrowing formula Mr. Ciputra, entrepreneur and lecturer enterpreunership, that Indonesia needs at least 20 percent of the population into entepreuner, then become a prosperous country, then Sidik had started many years ago. If it is true what Mr. Ciputra, Indonesia then obviously need people like Sidik persistent.
