Finally the day we all looked forward to had come, the day we start our Frans Seda Innovation week in Indonesia. The Dutch FSF fellows – and Ari, who is kind of part of both groups – met at Schiphol. There was already a lot of excitement, a lot of talking and a lot of laughing – a good way to start our week!

After a long flight from Amsterdam, we had a short stop over in Kuala Lumpur. 30 minutes to stretch our legs, brush our teeth and take Some selfies. And getting more and more excited to meet our other team members, the NGO leaders and Rennie, Irene, Willem, Oscar and all the others that Will be there.  

In the evening we finally met the whole group. Great to see everybody in person, talking in real life is always so much better.

I hope we all get a good night sleep, we definitely need it for the next couple of days.  Looking forward to a week of making impact, getting to know the whole group, meeting new people, getting inspired by them and of course lots of fun. Can’t wait!
