The Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) which began in 1981, is beneficial for both young people of Indonesia and Australia, and the two countries themselves.

Firstly the participants can get an opportunity for first-hand experience of living in and being an active part of another culture. Their experience is from a “rural stay”, in which the groups live in a village, and an “urban stay”, where they live in a town or city. In the two places they stay with host families.

Besides, they can develop their personality in team work and negotiating skill, leadership, confidence, etc. This is so because they are given a chance to undertake a community based work and social activities in the urban stay.

Moreover, they can have practical experiences and the development of skill related to their academic studies or personal career paths. The experience can be obtained through undertaking experience related to their chosen fields of study or expertise, where-ever possible.

Not only for the participants, but the countries also get benefit from the program. It can contribute to a more stable and enduring relation ship between Australia and Indonesia, increase people-to-people contacts and institutional links and can develop a greater understanding of present Australia-Indonesia relationships and possibilities for future cooperation and involvement.

This AIYEP has proven to be a fruitful program.

TEXT 3


There are differences of opinions on the Avian Flu. Some said this could claim 150 million deaths but there are others who said current alarm on Avian Flu is unwarranted as there is no proof of spreading between humans.

According to United Nations chief coordination on bird flu said 150 million or more could die from the disease if a pandemic strikes.

One of the frightening issues for a human flu pandemic arising from avian influenza is its unpredictability. It’s difficult to estimate the death toll should H5N1 virus mutates into a form, which can be easily transmitted between human. It is not possible to predict whether a pandemic would occur once or it would repeat. However, an epidemiologist recommended that the governments should take every possible precaution against the threat of bird flu, seriously.

Contrary to all dire tasks about avian flu pandemic coming, an ecologist dismissed the current panic as unsubstantiated and guess work.

Ecologist commented that H5N1 virus still remains a bird virus and has no scientific evidences of human-to-human transmission. There are billion of people across Asia which only 118 are reported being effected by avian flu. So how do they calculate to show that 150 million or more deaths will come from avian flu. The global panic, according to the ecologist, is the result of “scare tactics” created by politicians, medical officers, and the media.

It is premature to predict the outcome of avian flu until health scientist could confirm the possibility of human-to-human transmission. The Advice is to keep cool and DON’T PANIC because if you do, you will weaken your resistance and reduce your immune system.
