The village youth worked together to make the Duk Pakat event a success

installation of tent until ready

The camaraderie of the youth in Gampong Blang village was truly palpable during a major event held at a wedding hall. From early morning, the youth gathered enthusiastically to prepare everything needed for the event. From setting up the tent and setting up the venue to ensuring all equipment was ready, everything was done tirelessly together. There were no differences in roles; everyone shared their responsibilities to ensure the event ran smoothly.

Setting up the tent was a crucial task, requiring effort and cooperation. With excellent coordination, the youth worked side by side, guiding each other and strengthening the tent poles until they stood firmly. Occasional laughter echoed through the busy work, creating a relaxed yet responsible work atmosphere. This sense of togetherness is a hallmark of social life in our village.

entertaining invited guests with typical Acehnese dishes

After all the daytime preparations were completed, the event continued into the evening. That night, the youth once again demonstrated their crucial role by serving the guests at the Duk Pakat event. The youth warmly welcomed guests, directed them to their seats, and ensured everyone was comfortable throughout the event. Despite having to stand and move around all night, the spirit of togetherness was maintained.

An equally special feature was the traditional Acehnese meal served on the table: Acehnese "kuah tuhe" (Indonesian traditional soup). This traditional dish symbolized respect for the guests and complemented the family atmosphere of the event. The youth readily helped serve the meal, ensuring each guest received a satisfying meal. The distinctive aroma of the "kuah tuhe" (Indonesian traditional soup) added to the warmth of the evening and reinforced the strong Acehnese traditional atmosphere.

The Duk Pakat event was not only a forum for deliberation or gathering, but also a moment to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood. The youth's solidarity from the beginning of the preparations to the end demonstrated that the spirit of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) is still alive and well. They are at the forefront of preserving traditions, customs, and values ​​of togetherness within the community.

Through this togetherness, it's clear that our village's strength lies in the leadership of its residents, especially the youth. With cooperation, sincerity, and a spirit of mutual assistance, every event can be successfully executed. This solidarity is a valuable legacy worth preserving for future generations.
