Minahasa is a regency within the province
of North Sulawesi (North Celebes), Indonesia.
Tou is a Minahasan vernacular for the word man, timou is
to live, tumou has an implicative meaning of to grow, to
develop, to tend and to educate.
Thus the motto: "SI TOU TIMOU TUMOU TOU" is here
simply translated as: "man lives to educate others".
For brevity, this motto sometimes is shortened as either TUMOU
TOU or TIMOU TOU.
In this context, TUMOU TOU takes the meaning of HUMAN RESOURCE
DEVELOPMENT.
This old Minahasan life philosophy was frequently quoted by
the late Dr. G S S J Ratu-Langie (or Dr. Sam Ratulangi),
1890-1949), Minahasan philosopher, educator and an Indonesian national
hero.
As this homepage is dedicated to education, its content is in
the context of education and training as well as the development of
culture, science and technology. It is thus primarily aimed at the
development of human resource of Minahasa and North Sulawesi in broader
sense, and Indonesia
in general.
This homepage also serves to facilitate communication among
scientists, managers and those who have profound interest in developing human
resource in the region.
Beside links to relevant topics here we accommodate research
reports, articles and papers concerning cultural and technical
aspects of regional planning and development, management and science
& technology.
