HAPPY NEW YEAR - New Years' Greetings from BLIC
Dear friends
2011 was a good BLIC year. Thank you for your BLIC support!
We held seven regular events plus a Belgium National Day
dinner, a memorable football game and one golf tournament.
And our recent and well attended Christmas Dinner, enhanced
by fine food and generously donated door prizes by some of our members, turned
out to be a very joyous evening.
I also wish to thank Ambassador Tanghe and the Embassy staff
for their support over this past year.
My best wishes to all of you for a happy New Year 2012! Looking
forward to seeing you again in big numbers at the upcoming BLIC events in 2012.
Best regards

glitzy malls of downtown Jakarta.
As Southeast Asia's largest economy goes from strength to
strength -- highlighted by a return to investment-grade status
by Fitch Ratings this month -- Indonesia's Willy Wonka is one of
many tapping into a growing Asian market for luxury chocolate. (source)

CHARITY - Used Books Collection (till Jan 29, 2011)
Dear friends
We have received the message below which may be of interest
to you. It is from:
- SAHABAT ANAK, an organization that provides education and encouragement to Jakarta's street kids and
- TAMAN BACAAN PELANGI , which establishes small libraries for children in remote villages in Flores, NTT.
BLIC members may have some used books to donate. It is for a
good cause.
Thank you and best regards -Randolph
DRIVE BOOKS, NOT CARS is a completely volunteer-driven project
designed to raise awareness for Sahabat Anak and Taman Bacaan Pelangi
A few friends and I started it last September. This is the
second drive.We are not looking for cash, but instead we would love your
support. I know you know tons of people out there. Just tell them about what we
are doing. Spread the word.
We are collecting all the English-language novels and
Indonesian-language children's books we can get our hands on. On Jan 29th 2012 after
we collect all the books from the 60 drop boxes around town we selling them
back by opening in Jakarta the biggest
secondhand bookstore outside Ex during Car Free Day.
We collected over 5,000 books last time around and raised
more than $3,000 to fund scholarships here in Jakarta and open libraries in
Flores. Every rupiah goes to the kids. W know of no other
organization or initiative here in Jakarta that can say that. We don't have a
budget. We pay our own way during meetings. Every cent goes to the kids.
