Local JIS Alum Stays Involved:
One local alumnus, Doug Slusher '90, is always on the look-out for ways to support Annual Giving and TAA. His latest effort involved assembling a team of JIS alumni and some friends to compete in the Indonesian version of Family Feud. The team beat the competition and won 15,000,000 rupiah! They decided to donate 10,000,000 to the One More Chance Endowment Fund, and 5,000,000 to Tolong Anak Anak. See team members handing over the prize money at What's New.

Thanks, Doug and Team for your creative fundraising on behalf of a great cause!

As part of Indonesian Week at Pondak Indah Elementary School, two local alumni of the Joint Embassy School were on hand to talk about their recollections of Pattimura and their lives since then. Irawan Abidin and Ghafur Fadyl were both students in the 1950's and have been on interesting career paths since then.

Pak Abidin is a career diplomat. He talked to the 5^th graders at PIE about his experiences. Here's what a student wrote about his visit.

Thursday, February the 20^th Pak Irwan came to talk with us. He is an alumnus from Pattimura and is now an Indonesian diplomat. He shared with us about how JIS had helped him a lot with his career now with teaching him English. He was blessed that he could go to school here. He also told us that we should always read. He always read when he was young and he still reads. He said that reading had also helped him thoroughly. He didn't only talk about his school life; he talked about his job as a diplomat and how his father had inspired him to be one. He loves his job and mostly likes that he can go to all different countries.

However he hates leaving them. He also told us about how he always needs to think carefully about what he says because he doesn't want to make enemies. We are thankful that Pak Irwan could have shared all of this with us. It was truly wonderful.

Pak Ghafur Fadyl is the Associated Press Bureau Chief in Jakarta. He spoke with the 5th graders and answered their probing questions about what led him into journalism, some exciting stories he's covered in his career, and about current affairs in Indonesia.
