Senin pagi, Orangufriends Banyumas dibantu Agung dan beberapa anggota Himpunan Mahasiswa Bio-Explorer Fakultas Biologi UNSOED yaitu Ganjar, Iim dan Irda melakukan school visit ke Taman Kanak-kanak Pertiwi, desa Peter, Kalibagor, Banyumas.
Kegiatan school visit mengenalkan satwa liar pada anak-anak sejak kecil diharapkan bisa semakin menarik mereka untuk lebih peduli pada satwa liar khususnya orangutan. Kebanggaan pada satwa asli atau endemik Indonesia ini mungkin bisa meningkatkan cinta tanah air anak-anak sejak usia dini.
“School visit merupakan pembelajaran yang sangat bagus untuk usia dini, agar nantinya bisa menjaga orangutan untuk kelestarian satwa liar.”, ujar kepala sekolah TK Pertiwi, ibu Ani Angoyowati.
Vanny, orangufriends banyumas dengan semangat berbagi materi tentang orangutan. Dimulai dari habitat orangutan, makanan hingga bentuk orangutan dan kemunculan kostum orangutan semakin menarik perhatian anak-anak.
Bersama si Pongo, siswa-siswi diajak bermain, bernyanyi, menggambar dan foto bersama. Agung yang berperan sebagai Pongo pun menjadi senang walau kepanasan dan lelah mengikuti kelincahan anak-anak TK ini. “Senang sekali bisa jadi Pongo… bermain bersama mereka.”, ujar Agung usai school visit berakhir.
