Interest Biography to share:
Well, I was born and raised in Mataram, Indonesia and was here my whole life before I came to the U.S./GYV on a State Department grant. I learned a lot of really good values at GYV; I became more open-minded and tolerant as a result of participating in the program. I started paying more attention to problems in my hometown and looked for ways I could help. It was truly a life-changing experience.
