KGRE Launch 2005 - July 9th
Three Bali-based Kang Guru Connection Clubs (KGCCs) - Six Sense, Fellowship and Fomula Clubs assisted with the Launch. The Six Sense Club worked for many days planning and developing the KGRE display room while the Fellowship and Fomula Clubs presented a live version of the song ‘I Am Australian’ and a poem about the importance of teachers, respectively. Without the work of these three clubs the Launch would not have been as interesting as it was.

KGRE’s
‘Launch 2005’ was held on Saturday, the 9th of July. The Deputy
Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Mr. Peter Rowe, officially 
launched
AusAID’s latest agreement with KGRE. This means that KGRE will continue
to work in Indonesia until at least 2007 and beyond. AusAID Indonesia
was represented by Philippa Power, Counselor at the Australian Embassy
in Jakarta. Brent Hall, Australia's Consul in Bali was also present. IALF’s
CEO, Geoff Crewes was present to add support from IALF Indonesia. Julie
Klugman from AusAID’s ACCESS project and Nina Shatifan from AusAID’s
WSLIC 2 project were also there to support KGRE as it entered the next
phase of KGRE in Indonesia. 
Wibowo
from KGCC in Medan (Medan English Speaking Society, KGCC # 050),
Paulus from Waikabubak (Stella Maris, KGCC # 038) and Abi from Jombang
(Excellent Club, KGCC # 026) participated in the ceremony by giving
a brief but very important presentation about the role of KGRE in
the activities of their respective clubs. They had each won the
trip to Bali as part of a KGCC competition announced in ‘THE
POUCH’ bulletin last January. Mr. Peter Rowe was most impressed
by their presentations. The three representatives were very nervous
but they certainly did a great job. KGRE paid for the accommodation,
transport and daily requirements for the three winners. Their clubs
should be very proud of them. Thanks to Pak Hakim from the Excellent
Club for also attending and helping with the activities.
