Anti-corruption campaigns are gainin

g momentum in many countries of Asia. In Pakistan there is the case of Najam Sethi; in the Philippines there is the Sandigan junks graft raps, while in Indonesia the case of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) vs. the National Police is dominating media coverage.

All this made me think back  to the International Youth Camp (IYC) 2015, hosted by Transparency International Cambodia, during which I was a member of the Indonesian delegation. The camp took place in January 2015 and included 33 young activists from countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

  Still think in order to help a community, you need to wait until you graduate with a masters degree? Still think that helping people require lots of money? Then you better change your paradigm. Here are several youth who not only maintain a good GPA but also presents devotion towards their society.

Adeline Tiffanie Suwarna

The first time I met her was at The UNEP Tunza  Children and Youth Conference 2011. Being a victim of flood when she was 12 years old motivated her to encourage her friends to plant mangrove trees in The Thousand Island Jakarta. This began the establishment of her environment project, Sahabat Alam (Best Friend of Nature),right after she had just graduated from primary school.

Science Class Astronomy 2015 Towards the International of Light 2015

Dear Fosca Team and all participants,

Thank you for joining the Science Class Astronomy 2015 class and for making the astronomy session  so interactive! I observed all of you who were joining this class were so active that I really was enjoying to take part of the program.

I loved Pak Wid, Kak Nurdin and  Fathya  while getting a broader understanding of cosmologist and the planets in our solar system, and also learning some interesting facts about them in  "You are Galileo" session. I am so proud, too, with Ghazy (current Chairperson of Fosca), who showed his strong creative approaches. The class was interactive, engaging and not only interesting but practical, wasn't it?
