Yayasan Information

 

In March 2004, Yayasan Goodwill International International left the premises of ICAC and now operates from a small house in Jakarta Selatan, which gives us enough space for administration, training and meetings. Yayasan Goodwill International International operates with a single salaried employee,  Mrs Rosa Sibarani.  She reports to the Chairman of the Yayasan, Mrs Mizue Hara. There are three groups of officials. The Pengurus, who form the executive committee and who exercise day to day executive responsibilities through the Administration staff; one Pengawas who supervises the reporting, accounting and legal affairs of the Yayasan; and Pembinas (the Founders) who appoint the Pengawas and Pengurus and who approve annual reports of the Yayasan.
