A Meeting with Pak Didik

Pak Didik, our counselor in Indonesian Embassy in Youido, invited associations, leaders of several communities to share ideas, voice their criticism, and strengthen their commitment to live harmoniously in the land of morning calm. 

I loved the fact that lots of people came in and openly shared on almost anything!! So varied that I wished I knew little^^ due to the...whooping problems or homework we got to solve^^

@nyhow..it went just fine.

Salam Ramadan from Ansan, Korea

Indonesian migrant workers and Indonesian community in Ansan were celebrating the Ramadan with a concert. In line with the current issues, we also made the concert into an outlet to collect some donation for our beloved friend, Benro, who's diagnosed with cancer...and also...we waved the awareness among our fellow members about the current issue happening in Gaza. Save the Palestine movement was also one of the highlights of the concert. 

Since it's carried out in an open air stage next to Ansan Migrant Center, lots of people did come in and participated in the event. 

Our friend, ms. Uswariyah, was interviewing one of the directors of Ansan Migrant Center during the event. 

As for me...the selfie-freak....., Aris, me, and Awan...were selfie-ing ourselves with the concert as the background. 

Crowds. Music overheard. Bazaar. Ramadan. Summer. Fun. Togetherness.

All in one.

Our Little Headquarter!!!

 This is the facade of our secretariat.

Finally, Indonesian Community in Corea (ICC), Dompet Duafa (literally "Wallet for the Underprivileged"), and our UT Korea (Indonesia Open University in Korea--especially our UT Radio Korea) have officially secured the shared-office in Ansan. 

Three of the organizations share the burden of renting this underground room for a meager monthly rent for the sake of our continued efforts for the betterment of our activities in Korea. 

Today was the first day that we officially opened up the office. In fact some dignitaries from the Indonesian Embassy were scheduled to officially open the office or..room?^^ so, we decided that we'd better 'beautify' the office...before the ceremony? 

Yes, so mas Khoirul, Hadi, and other friends came and lent their hands to prepare for the office. As for us, we're concerned about our little radio station^^ 

Before VS After.

Yes, the left one was the disheveled tiny room. The right one was the same room after being 'beautified' with the male touches.^^  

We did it. 

The small hanging flowers that decorate the office. 

The brightly lit small room at the center is our UT Radio mini studio. 

We gathered to make our first group picture to celebrate our mini studio's initial makeover. Let's hope for the best for our future endeavor via UT Radio Korea.
