"If
someday I become rich and famous,
please do not hesitate to contact me,"
Adam, a student in the Gas and
Petrochemical Department at the
University of Indonesia, said at the
end of a speech he delivered in
English.
Adam is one of dozens of students
from UI and the Bogor Institute of
Agriculture (IPB) who have received
scholarships from the Goodwill
International
International Foundation.
The
students gathered for a two-day
meeting at Wisma Kinasih in Bogor,
West Java, last week to get to know
each other and take part in various
events, including speech and debate
competitions conducted in English
and Indonesian.
In
the English speech contest, the
students expressed their
appreciation for the scholarships,
saying that they did not just
receive money, but also built a
family.
In
the debate competition, several
issues, such as pornography and
abortion, were discussed by the
participants.
One
of the scholarship recipients, Tommy
Dharmawan, said the foundation was
helping the students improve their
skills in English and leadership.
"I
was once an introverted person, but
now my public speaking has
improved," said Tommy, a student at
the UI School of Medicine.
Tomy, who is also the chief
editor of Aesculapius medical school
journal, received a scholarship from
the foundation three years ago. He
said the leadership skills he had
learned from the foundation helped
get him elected as president of the
UI Medical Student Association two
years ago.
Another scholarship recipient,
Supriyanto of the UI School of
International Relations, said the
foundation fostered close ties among
students and sponsors.
"We
are like a family. I have received
scholarships from other foundations
before. It's not like here,"
Supriyanto, the son of a farmer in
Lampung, said.
Unlike many foundations that are
usually managed by big companies,
the Goodwill International International
Foundation, founded by expatriates
in Jakarta, obliges recipients to
take part in monthly training
programs covering various skills,
including leadership and public
speaking.
"Many of the students were
previously very shy, but now they
can talk openly and speak in
English. We hope that the skills
will help them after they graduate
from their universities," foundation
member trustee and trainer Mizue
Hara said.
The
foundation provides one-year
scholarships worth Rp 300,000 per
month. On top of that, recipients
also receive allowances of Rp
700,000 per semester. The
scholarships can be extended
depending on the needs and
performance of each student.
The
funds for the scholarships are
donated by expatriates living in
Jakarta and abroad, and several big
companies operating in the country.
