One day during December 2010 two new signs appeared on the roadway at each of the main entrances leading into Kamasan village. Consisting of a painted signboard hung between two metal poles and suspended high above the passing traffic, they differed little from the many road signs around the country which mark the spatial boundaries between villages, cities, districts and provinces. The text painted in white on a green background visible to persons entering into the village simply announced the name of the village, Desa Kamasan (Kamasan Village), while the message on the reverse, visible to those departing, read Desa Kamasan Jangan Dilupakan (Don?t Forget Kamasan Village).

When Jawa Pos with its DetEksi is considered as an innovative newspaper and awarded The World Young Reader Prize 2011, the judges must have thought that it has presented the best project or activity in their criteria of young reader development. According to the judges Jawa Pos has done an outstanding job with an enduring, substantial, successful commitment to engage young people on and off the printed page. ?Its daily three-page DetEksi effort is more than a standard newspaper youth section. It?s a complete strategy for finding, engaging, and retaining young readers. Most importantly, it has worked.? Besides having been the Newspaper of the Year 2011, it also wins the top prize for enduring excellence. How this success has contributed to the newspaper business has made me think about the propaganda model proposed by Chomsky and Herman in their book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media.

It is commonly believed that education plays the most significant role in the development of a nation. Education may be regarded as an investment in human capital formation that lays the foundation for future economic growth and development of a country not to mention our country, Indonesia. Our government even has given explicitly the definition of the term education in the Act of Republic Indonesia on National Educational System that may be considered as: ??.conscious and well planned effort in creating a learning environment and learning process so that learners will be able to develop their full potential for acquiring spiritual and religious strengths, develop selfcontrol, personality, intelligence, morals and noble character and skills that one needs for him/herself, for the community, for the nation, and for the State. National education means education based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, and is rooted in the religious values, national cultures of Indonesia, and one that is responsive to the needs of the ever-changing era.

It is estimated that Indonesia in 2007 had 47,702,310 microenterprises that provided jobs for 77,061,669 people, which represents 81.7% of all employed workers at that time in the country (BPS, 2008). Despite this scale, microenterprise based livelihoods have distinct forms of vulnerability, such as: inadequate or deeply uneven income streams, low productivity, and difficult working conditions (ILO, 2010). In this project we specifically focus on mobile food vendors, one of many types of microentrepreneur in Indonesia.

Recent studies on Balinese religion discuss the emergence of Agama Hindu as a new religion and the proliferation of new religious movements such as Sai Baba1. Leo Howe, an anthropologist working on Balinese religion, stated that the proliferation of Sai Baba followers in Bali is a result of the introduction of various Indian religious traditions to the island by its intellectuals. A recent observation of the Sai Baba movement will clearly show that this movement is growing more popular especially since the transition to post-New Order Indonesia in 1998. In contrast with the New Order era when Sai Baba was under strict scrutiny, these groups are now warmly accepted by a far wider audience and especially from educated affluent urbanites.
