Dear Alumni of USC,

Time flies! The year 2010 is drawing to a close, and we are happy to report that we, the USC alumni of Indonesia, have not been standing still. We have recently launched the Cerdas Bang! program, short for men-Cerdas kan Bangsa! Cerdas Bang has a goal of building 50 libraries in high schools of impoverished areas of Indonesia, by the year 2015.

This is a rather "crazy" goal, for an alumni organization of a US university. But hey, we Trojans believe we can achieve anything we put our mind into, so Cerdas Bang! it is. The good news is we've completed building the first 10 libraries in mud-stricken Sidoarjo of West Java.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank sponsors and participants of our joint event with Indonesia Tatler on October 29th, 2010. This event enabled us to make a commitment, to build an additional 8 libraries, this time in earthquake stricken Padang, West Sumatera, scheduled to be completed by the second quarter of 2011. The target for these 18 libraries is to 'touch' approximately 10,000 children from their surrounding areas. Let's continue this Cerdas Bang! program and reach our goal of 50 libraries by 2015.

For the year 2011, we are planning a Reunion to honor the AUSCI Board of Trustees, individuals who have contributed in the creation of our Endowment Fund, which will guarantee our alumni group's existence for, well, forever. A charity walk/run/bicycle event is also in store next year, so we do have our plate full, and we invite YOU to participate in any way you can.

On behalf of the committee, we would like to wish everyone:

Season's Greetings 2010
&
The Happiest of New Year 2011


Fight On!
