I have been the volunteer in the refugee camp of Merapi eruption in Keji village Muntilan Yogyakarta province in 2010. I run a program to assist children in the trauma healing program.

I think your first paragraph can be condensed into a single sentence that tells the most important ideas:
I am a 24 year-old recent graduate of Diponegoro University in Indonesia.

But you should not just replaced the first paragraph with that sentence; you should also go back to the top and add a sentence to the beginning of the essay. The first sentence of the essay should surprised the reader in some way or cause the reader to become curious about the topic you will discuss in the essay. What is the most important message you want to transmit to the reader? I think it is a message about what makes you an excellent candidate for the position. What is one great thing you want the reader to remember while considering you can the position? What makes you uniquely interesting to the reader, and what makes you a perfect person for this position? Get inspired, and you will think of the magic words that convey this important message at the start of the essay.

It is important to also remember this main idea when you finish the essay. You give a lot of information in this essay, but I think the essay is supposed to have one important theme that makes it interesting and memorable. When you find that theme, that important, interesting message to the reader, then you can add a sentence or two about it to the first and last paragraphs.

Empowering people in my current job drives me to do toward a career involving human rights.

This material still needs some grammar editing.

Hi Sekar, I would like to leave my first comment in this forum.

There are several comments to yours,

Firstly, your pattern is really different if we compare with other resume latters, your introductory is more likely chit-chat when you are in interview condition. Truthfully, I am really understand the storyline of your article, but I am afraid that native speaker in particular cannot catch the meaning of your article.

Secondly, there are a lot of your personal information. I am really perceive that you want to show all your ability and your achievement in your life whereas it would made your essay quality became down. In my personal view, you better manage the information which is you want to present in groups. For example, you can add your achievement when you are in collage partly. What more, hidden your data that you think it is not appropiate to show into your resume.

Lastly, you forget to add "ministry of youth and sport". I know, it is so difficult to translate but I believe if we can little bit improve our ideas to translate in english, it would be more fascinating.

And then for "young village development", I just know your program is youth paid volunteering activity, but correct me if I am wrong.

Dear fadlan, thank you in advance and welcome to this forum. Yap, writing is my big project obviously to make it authentic for native. In terms of achievement would you kindly explained more why the achievement that I do practically should be avoid ? In my mind personally, I would like to show them what I did specifically.

However,thank you also for the vocabulary corrections mainly about my programme :D
