On August 17, 2024, Indonesia will celebrate its 79th Independence Day. However, this year’s commemoration is special because, for the first time, the independence ceremony will not only take place in Jakarta but also in IKN. For those who may not know, IKN stands for Ibu Kota Nusantara, the newly designated capital city of Indonesia. Located in East Kalimantan province, the Independence Day ceremony this year will be held for the first time at the magnificent Istana Garuda Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN).
A key highlight of the Independence Day celebration is the Paskibraka team, who play a vital role in raising the national red and white flag. The preparation for these teams is quite intense. They go through a detailed selection process, starting from the local level and moving up to the national level. Once selected, they undergo around 40 days of training and quarantine, focusing on both physical and mental readiness to uphold the spirit of the nation’s heroes.
Did you know that preparation to become a Paskibraka can start from school? For Moms with children who enjoy outdoor activities, participating in a school’s Paskibra extracurricular can be a great way to channel their interests. Besides teaching discipline, responsibility, and social skills, Paskibra activities also help improve physical endurance. However, since Paskibra activities are mostly conducted outdoors, children will be more exposed to sweat, dust, and dirt. Therefore, it is also important to pay attention to the hygiene of your child after outdoor activities. Make sure to choose the right soap to prevent dry skin and irritation. The Zen Antibacterial Soap with new variants such as Zen Shiso Sandalwood soap, Sulphur, Seasalt, Tea Tree, Echinacea Flower, and Juniper Berries (new variant!) contains natural antibacterial properties from Japanese Red Shiso leaves, making it a great choice for family hygiene. Zen Antibacterial Soap effectively fights 99.9% of germs without the usual concerns of skin dryness or medicinal smells. Ensure clean, healthy, and soft skin with Zen Antibacterial Soap.
