Me and U.S Embassy Jakarta

I had an amazing moment as a co speaker with U.S Embassy in Jakarta. During Ramadan Outreach Program, I went out with several diplomats and team talked about Ramadan in America. I met a lot of high school students. 

I’ve been doing Ramadan Outreach for 3years now. It such a great event that I always waiting for every Ramadan. I also got chance to have dinner with all the diplomats in Iftar event.

I  also got chance to talk at @america. The only and the coolest American Culture Center in the world. @america located in Pacific Place Mall Jakarta. They have all the most amazing technology. My favorite thing is Google earth section. I can go to Disneyworld, Taj Mahal and Liberty Statue all in one touch!

It such an honor for me because all the famous person were standing there in that place too, such as Agnez Monica (famous singer), Monique Coleman (HSM from Disney and also UN Youth Ambassador), Ahmad Fuadi (N5M-MWJ Author), Alanda Kariza (famous book writer) and many more.

It’s amazing because I’ve been there so many time as an audience and been wondering when I can speak on that stage. I can’t believe I got that chance too and thanks a lot to U.S Embassy.

So this year, I spoke with Sarah Gardiner at @america and the Audience were Pesantren Al Amanah Al Gontory High School Boys.

And then I went to Ponpes Al Falah High School in Kebon Jeruk Jakarta Barat with Mr. Edward Routh from ICITAP.

Just like last year we had iftar with streetschool kids and all the diplomats. It was fun and we also got to see the helping hand puppet show! My favorite show ever.

After that I got the other chance to talk about Election in the U.S with Mr. Geoffrey also @america. It was amazing because I have no idea about election before. I just had an experience living in the Washington, DC during election. So the night before D-day, I learnt a lot so I can explain to the audience. It went really well and Mr. Geo spoke really good Bahasa Indonesia. Election in the U.S has so complicated process it’s much more different than election in Indonesia.

After that someone from Kompas.com interviewed me, his name is Ali. Asked me about my experience during my exchange student year in the U.S. It’s also such an honor for me for being on the one of famous news website.
