Mama Ethel always actively participates in CFS activities, one of which is the training of <\/span>Acanthus ilicifolius <\/span><\/i>mangrove leaf cultivation. Kokonao people call it \u2018dowau\u2019 to be served as tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mama Ethel experiences many benefits after making and consuming <\/span>dowau <\/span><\/i>tea in terms of health, as well as the economical aspect. Mama Ethel’s <\/span>dowau tea<\/span><\/i> is favored by the medical team in Kokonao Village, and even the local community health center wants to establish a partnership with her to produce it. Besides inside the village, the tea market also goes to Timika and even some regions outside the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the CFS activities, group members including Mama Ethel were never given “sitting money\u201d which is a term means money paid in return for meeting participants. However, they continued to participate in every series of activities. According to Mama Ethel, “we are not given money, but there is \u2018money\u2019 in the <\/span>dowau<\/span><\/i> leaves”<\/span><\/p>\n

Until today, Mama Ethel continues to produce <\/span>dowau<\/span><\/i> tea because it is also for her private consumption to cure her tightness and rheumatism, which she feels is very beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n
