So, are you still in Indonesia ? I have never been to Palopo those the chairman of the organisation is from Palopo. However, he disappeared after the Jogya earthquake. I hope he is alive. :-(

Indonesia became free country in 1948 during what you guys call meja bundar. Do not learn the history from from Suharto era, you have to think outside the box. The winner will always write their own history. The Dutch came to java island to take over its people therefore they could attack other islands in nusantara. Have you red the story of "Marsuse Belanda"? You will find the aswer. Oil was not important sources during that era. They were more interested to spicies.

thats not true the dutch were everywhere in aceh (rich with oil), irian jaya, everywhere, they owned that country why should they only robbed jawa the smallest one compare to the other big ones who olso rich with natural sources ( are they too modest ) and indonesia became free country on 17 august 1945 on papper !!!

Yeah, crazy person feels also happy. Look Indonesian brother, you have to define what is the basic need of life this day. You got to open your eyes and see are those kids get basic need? you got to think outside the box brother. These kids need education, good food, great place to live. Im wondering would they be able to take care their own family one day.

I don't think Dutch robbed Indonesia. Dutch Robbed only Batavia and Java Island for 350 years. Took 'em all to become slave and attacked Nusantara except Acheh. The Indonesia didn't exist until 1948. The western has left the leaders who bows to the west. If Indonesia has great leaders ya'll could be a super power and well respected because ya'll have everything including natural resource and labor. Sadly even singapore, a tiny country, can bully Indonesia.

honestly, i was sitting down and thinking in amaze that there's a young man in Makassar, wants to do such thing. I didn't find any when I was there. I'm proud of you and what you're doing. God bless you and the children there.
