Chairman Gemapi Papua Abel A Sawaki on the sidelines of the activity said the work of bhakti in the form of cleaning and painting has become a regular agenda always done by youth in the city of Jayapura in the last two years. "So, today we are students and youths who are members of Gemapi cleaning, painting historic monument of Pepera Statue which was done since Thursday (27/4) to this day and cooperate with Mall Jayapura manager," he said.

According to him, the youth or students of today look less concerned with history, let alone know the history of good and true, so with the work of bhakti work is expected to arouse more sense of care of the history of the nation. "The monument of Pepera is a symbol of a choice from the Papuan people to want to be with this country so that the future will have a better life." Following today's youth friends are apathetic, indifferent to history, "he said. "Looks like this is trivial but do not forget that big people should not forget history, so remember youth friends if they want to be leaders or heads of regions, heads of service, and really care about society, then must know history, I think that's it , "He continued. Abel added that the same activities were also carried out by the management of Gemapi in several districts such as in Mimika, Merauke and Yapen Islands.
