Resilience
Ray's story (January 2021) Student in Sumba, Indonesia Since returning to Homba Karipit, Kodi, in Southwest Sumba, my entertainment choices have changed from when I was in Jogja. Because I have joined the Catholic Youth, and many friends have come home from college, I have friends to do afternoon exercise with. My friends in Homba Karipit and I usually play volleyball on the parish field of Santa Maria Homba Karipit. Usually, information is given via the Catholic Youth WhatsApp group every two weeks. But if on certain other days someone wants to play volleyball together, we can invite each other. In addition, during this pandemic, I also go fishing. Usually, I fish on Radar Beach at Kodi Balaghar, which is about 30–45 minutes from my house. I also go fishing at Mandorak beach, which is closer – less than 30 minutes. I usually go fishing with my brothers. We fish by moonlight. If the moon is dark we go fishing, if the moon is bright we don't go fishing. We fish from around 2pm to 9pm. When we return home, we usually bring our catch, often of various types of fish, and eat together at home.
