PEREMPUAN PENYAPU JALAN
Setiap hari ketika saya berangkat kerja saya selalu bertemu dengannya. Dia adalah seorang ibu-ibu berusia sekitar 50 tahunan. Dengan berpakaian kemeja dan celana panjang hijau beliau melaksanakan tugasnya menyapu jalan di sepanjang jalan terminal baru kota Lhokseumawe.
I always meet her every day when I go for working. She is a woman around 50 years old. She Dress green shirt and green trouser and she does her duties to sweep the road along the new terminal street in the city of Lhokseumawe.
Sulitnya mendapatkan penghasilan yang memadai di Lhokseumawe saat ini membuat banyak para ibu-ibu terjun menekuni pekerjaan menjadi penyapu jalan. Dengan gaji satu juta delapan ratus ribu rupiah sebulan membuat pekerjaan ini menjadi idola bagi keluarga yang kurang mampu.
The difficulty of finding a job in Lhokseumawe right now makes many women choose to be a road sweepers. With a salary sum one million and eight hundred thousand rupiahs a month making this work be an idol for poor families.
Jam kerja bagi para penyapu jalan ini dua kali sehari yaitu pagi dan siang. Mereka mendapatkan tugas menyapu sesuai dengan jarak jalan yang telah ditentukan oleh Dinas kebersihan kota Lhokseumawe. Biasanya para ibu-ibu mulai menyapu jalan pada jam 6 pagi dan selesai jam 8 pagi. Setelah itu mereka bisa pulang ke rumah lalu setelah shalat zhuhur mereka akan bertugas lagi dan paling lama mereka akan menyapu selama 2 jam untuk 1 shit. Jadi dalam sehari mereka hanya bekerja selama 4 jam. Demikian postingan saya hari ini semoga bermanfaat. Salam.
Working hours for street sweepers are twice a day, morning and afternoon. They got the task of sweeping according to the street distance determined by the Lhokseumawe municipal cleaning service. Usually the workers start sweeping the street at 6 am and finish at 8 in the morning. After that they can go home then after the zuhr prayer they will be on duty again. They will sweep around 2 hours for 1 shit. So in a day they only work for 4 hours. Thats all my post today. Hopping will be useful. Bye.

Nice write-up, @elianaelisma. What does 1 million 800 thousand rupiahs translate to in USD? And, what’s a typical months rent cost where you’re located? Where are you exactly, Indonesia, correct?
Fun fact: the tool that woman is using to sweep the roads isn’t called a broom, it’s called a Besom, neat right?
Happy Wednesday, elianalisma, I’ll see you around. 👍🏿
It's only $127 a month, friend ... Yes, I live in Indonesia. For a rather luxurious room rent is about $28 a month. Thank you for ur kind words , dandays.
When you say “room,” what all is included? Is it just a room or is there a kitchen, living area, etc?
You’re very welcome, elianaelisma.
just bedroom, bathroom and kitchen ,my dear friend.
Bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for only $28 per month? That sure does seem affordable to me. Where I come from, you can’t eat a restaurant for two people with $28.
