Bogor, Indonesia—Students at a prestigious Indonesian university and teenagers at several schools were given an introduction to the UPF character education lectures.
Students and lecturers at Djuanda University, located in Bogor in the Greater Jakarta area, responded with inquisitive and deep questions to the UPF presentation, which teaches young people the importance of developing their character.
UPF Ambassador for Peace Mr. Agus Mulyana welcomed the UPF team to his university. The March 20, 2015, program also served to invite students to the upcoming International Youth Convention (IYC), which will take place at the University of Indonesia.
Inspired by the UPF vision of leaders who have the heart to serve their nation instead of using their position to benefit themselves, the students expressed their desire to attend the IYC.
Meanwhile, teenagers at three different schools in the North Sumatran city of Pematang Siantar heard the UPF character education introductory program on the same day. The UPF team had traveled three hours from the provincial capital, Medan.
Principals and teachers of the SMAN 3 government school and the local Methodist school immediately took up the offer by UPF staff and volunteers to provide free character education to their students. All of the 200 students responded with great interest and were eager to participate in further UPF activities.
