DIVE IN AT ANZA I have been heavily involved in our Annual Charity Ball the last few months so the Under the Sea theme has inspired a lot of the content for this issue. We have some stunning photos in our destinations section that could tempt you to experience the high seas, including our cover image from Scuba Diving in Indonesia (p.36). For those who want a taste of the sea a bit closer to home, we have a review of Sulawesi a dedicated seafood restaurant (p.42).

As you will see from the coverage of this year's Ball (p.21) it was another extraordinarily colourful event. Kudos to our Ball Committee volunteers for their fantastic efforts. Thank you to our sponsors and guests for embracing the spirit of the evening to help fundraise for ANZA Social Welfare. ANZA Social Welfare volunteers have been as busy as ever visiting our various projects. Unfortunately, we have had to farewell some of our dedicated volunteers in the last few months as they move on to new horizons. Giving back while in Jakarta (p. 26) is a glimpse into the volunteer experience from one of our departing members. For an alternative perspective on ANZA Social Welfare Program, we hear from three university students who have received our support via our partnership with Goodwill International (p. 28) Building strong long-term partnerships is an important part of ANZA's ethos. One of our longest partnerships is with the Priscilla Hall Memorial Foundation who commemorated their 15th anniversary this year. I caught up with Mr Don Hall about the Foundation’s ongoing projects (p. 33). I also explored one of our newest partnerships in Taste of Two Islands (p.14) It has been full steam ahead with activities and events at ANZA House, including the newest round of Kids Swim Classes (p16). We have squeezed in as many highlights as possible this issue but if you are interested in finding out more then I invite you to drop into our Friday Coffee Morning and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

LEAVING FOOTPRINTS Have you ever walked through a beautiful national park or a beach, and viewed a sign which reminds you to take nothing and leave only footprints? Our time as expats in Indonesia is pretty much like the sign. We have a responsibility as guests in this country to ensure that we respect this opportunity and use it wisely, leaving it an even better place than when we came. The footprint that we leave behind should look like love. Love for other expats that we meet, and how we share our time, support and friendship. Love for the local community, where we smile, share our time and money for charitable purposes and where we demonstrate our understanding and acceptance of cultural differences. But of course, we must take something away. Memories of smiling faces, the beauty of the countryside, the delicious food, the friendliness and openness of people, footpaths, Bajajs, warungs, the smell of sate, the cost of wine, and the knowledge that we made the most of our time. ANZA's fundraising efforts are a reflection of us leaving footprints and taking something valuable and appropriate with us when we leave. Our Under the Sea Ball was an amazing success in ensuring that our Social Welfare Program can continue, as well as creating a memorable night filled with love and laughter. Thank you to all who supported us by purchasing a ticket, sponsoring our auctions and raffles and by having a fun time. Keep making your unique footprint here in Jakarta, while enjoying memorable moments. Kerryn ANZA President

New Zealand Ambassador to Indonesia H.E. Dr. Jonathan Austin Kia Ora ANZA! It’s great to be back in Indonesia nearly twenty years after our first stint here – in what is now East Timor. Jakarta’s traffic is still pretty bad, and the air pollution (no thanks to coal power) is worse, but the city is still surprisingly green and the people are kind and friendly. It is certainly quite a contrast to Singapore, where I was High Commissioner until March. ANZA there is a huge organisation and a great place for Kiwis and Aussies to meet, children to play sports and for valuable charity work. I was pleased to discover that Jakarta also had an ANZA – just a smaller one – and Photo supplied by NZ Embassy I’m very happy to be co-patron. New Zealand and Indonesia have a 61-year history, with Indonesia now our 14th largest trading partner and an important source of tourists and students. New Zealand Embassy Indonesia More Kiwis are visiting Indonesia too, with daily direct flights on Air New Jl. Asia Afrika No.8, RT.1/RW.3, Gelora, Zealand and Emirates from Auckland to Bali. Kecamatan Tanah Abang, Kota Jakarta Our Embassy in Jakarta is our 7th largest in the world. I’m lucky to lead an awesome team of Indonesians and New Zealanders doing great things to bring our two countries together. I look forward to meeting some of you at an ANZA event!

Highlights 1-2 ANZA House Sponsors, Merdeka Coffee treated us to a fascinating coffee tasting session on Friday 17 May. We were taken on a journey from bean to brew and gained a better understanding of the diverse coffee flavour profiles. 3 WOW Borneo owner Gaye Thavisan delivered an illuminating talk about travelling to Central Kalimantan to see the Orangutans! WOW Borneo have also partnered with Sea Trek Bali, to offer a unique and special experience by combining the orangutan cruise with a mesmerising cruise through the islands of Nusa Tenggara to see the legendary Komodo Dragon. 4 SOS Medika was in the house on Friday 21 June to for an informative discussion about travel medicine and some very helpful tips for staying healthy when on the road. 5 The Sausage Sizzle on Saturday 15 June was a fun family affair. Snags and ice cream were a real hit with our youngest guests. 6 The bar will be opened once a month for House Happy Hours It is intended to be a casual lunch or early evening gathering where members and friends can drop-in for a few drinks and great conversations. We were pleased to see so many new faces at our Friday Night Drinks in August. 7-9 Jam in the Arvo was a great success thanks to the musical prowess of Jaya Blues Band, the Expat Jammers and guests. Numbers dwindled on the dancefloor momentarily while an important Trans-Tasman sporting match was screened in our library. 10 We took our ExtravagANZA Coffee Morning offsite to enjoy the hospitality of Vie for Living, Gold Sponsors, who gave a very informative talk about wooden furniture production in Indonesia.

What was your first impression of Jakarta? The people stood out to me the most. They are extremely friendly, warm and welcoming. It was a very different culture to Morocco and Qatar but I felt comfortable here. The city has grown beyond recognition over the past decade and there is always something new to explore. How did you learn about ANZA? What are you looking to get involved with? Through an Australian friend of mine - we used to take our babies to the playgroups. From there, I got to know more about ANZA. My daughter started primary school just recently so I thought I could join again and help out, specifically in Membership Front Desk as well as various events and activities. I have also offered to restart the Book Club (run monthly on a Tuesday morning). I look forward to meeting some fellow booklovers.
Salma Hammou ANZA Member since August 2019, ANZA Membership Coordinator Tell us a little bit about yourself: My name is Salma. I am from Morocco. My father is a native Berber from Agadir, and my mother is from a very cultural and traditional city called Meknas. I was born in the Capital City of Rabat and grew up there by the Atlantic Ocean before I moved to Qatar when I was just 19. How long have you been in Jakarta? I have been in Jakarta now for over 9 years. What brought you to Jakarta? I met my husband when I was working for the Four Seasons in Doha, Qatar. He is from the UK, with Indonesian Heritage. When we got married, we travelled to Indonesia for holidays and I very much loved it and above all the people. We decided then to move to Jakarta.
In one word describe living in Jakarta. Comfortable. What’s your favourite area in Jakarta and why? Kota Tua, because of the Historical Buildings and the food there is very nice. Where was the last great meal you had in Jakarta? I usually cook Indonesian and Moroccan food at home. Where would we find you on a typical Sunday morning? At home. Any advice to a new arrival to Jakarta? Embrace it and every place is different. There is no ultimate perfect place in the world, so you have to embrace both the good and the bad sides of every place. Can you recommend a must-see in Jakarta? Got to Pasar Baru or Kota Area for the ultimate local market shopping experience Can you recommend a great weekend trip? Bali for sure!

A TASTE OF TWO ISLANDS by Emmaleen Murray, ANZA Berita Editor Photos from Pixabay and Hatten Wines ANZA was pleased to partner with Two Islands Wines for this year's ANZA Ball. Two Islands Wines range is produced by Hatten Wines. Hatten Wines was established in 1994 and is an international award winning winery and industry leader in Indonesia. It was named Asia Winery of the Year in 2017. The winery is located close to the business centre of Sanur in Bali and houses a horizontal press, over sixty large wine tanks, fermenters, a bottling room and a quality control laboratory. According to the company website it produces around 60,000L of wine per month. Visitors can get a glimpse of the winery's operations and enjoy a tasting at The Cellar Door in Sanur. Hatten Wines is a proud Balinese company owned by a Balinese family, managed and run by Balinese people. The company also reinvests in its community through multiple initiatives including education programmes, scholarships and internships.
The winery produces two wine ranges - Hatten Wines, which uses grapes grown in North Bali and Two Islands, which is derived from imported South Australian grapes. Two Islands Wines range was created in 2007 'to give Bali's tourists a familiar taste of Australian wines without the heavy import duties on alcohol, hence offering a more affordable wine for Australian palates'. Our Ball Committee volunteers had the important task of choosing the wines best suited to our event menu. Guests were served three varietals throughout the evening and some auction winners took home bottles from Two Islands Special Reserve. Two Islands Wines is available in Jakarta from Hatten Wines Cellar Door Jl Benda No.1F, Kemang www.twoislands.co.id www.hattenwines.com

Kids Learn to Swim Classes
By Gary Anderson - ANZA Vice President and Swimming Co-ordinator Photos by Gary Anderson, Kim Polden and Emmaleen Murray
ANZA started offering kids swim classes a few years ago when we had a few volunteers with expertise in this area offer their time and energy. The aim has been to offer children aged from 6 months old, a safe and fun learning environment to grow their confidence and safety in the water. The class formats have evolved in different ways but ANZA members continue to have access to lessons at a very reasonable rate with excellent instructors and ANZA Social Welfare receives funds for community initiatives. In August we started a new round of classes led by our volunteer coordinator and ANZA Vice-President, Gary and instructor, Coach Vina. Four sessions are offered on Monday mornings and one session is offered on a Wednesday afternoon. Each group focuses on advancing the water confidence, safety and swimming development of the children with our
experienced instructors reinforcing the fundamentals in learning to swim safely. Our instructors undertake a short assessment of each new child (other than babies) to place them in the most suitable group. Parents will be asked to be in the pool with the less advanced swimmers. Children in the more advanced groups will progress to independent swimming as they develop skills in the basics of stroke development and breathing. Our instructors use a range of Learn to Swim aids including floatation mats, an underwater bench, kickboards and pool noodles. Learn to Swim Classes are offered in Blocks of 5 weeks. Contact ANZA for information on start dates, registration details and program costs.

Orphans' Swimming Lesson
As part of our work with Yayasan Sayap Ibu, ANZA will be sponsoring weekly swim lessons for a small group of orphans on Wednesday afternoons. We have started with the older children but hope we can include more over time. Funds from the ANZA Members' swim classes will help support this work. Our sponsors F45 Training Kemang will also be donating their class cancellation fee to this initiative.
Thank You! For the last few years, ANZA has been very lucky to have Steph Chandler as our volunteer swim instructor. Steph has spent many Monday mornings in the ANZA pool encouraging our youngest members to kick, paddle and blow bubbles. Many families Sally presents Steph with a small have benefited from her patience and expertise and we gift on behalf of the ANZA swim presented a small token of our families appreciation at her last class in May. We would also like to acknowledge Sally Agnew, our volunteer Swim Group Coordinator, who graciously handled the administrative side, even when her own children were no longer taking lessons. Thanks to the efforts of both these ladies and the support of our members swim classes have provided lots of fun to many and made a significant contribution to ANZA Social Welfare Programme. Thank you Steph and Sally, we wish you well with your new adventures.

Happy Hues More Painting Workshops
By Richa Nawani, ANZA Membership Coordinator Photos by Ines Ouni Fergani, Michelle McCarthy and Emmaleen Murray
Our painting workshops have continued to attract a diverse set of participants. Self-proclaimed novice artist, Richa Nawani, shares her experience. It was my first time painting ever and these sessions provided such an inspiring and friendly environment where I could explore my creative side. Ines is a lovely teacher. She has so much energy and splendid ideas. She gently introduced me to the basics, as I had absolutely no experience. Everything was provided - canvas, paints, brushes and even painting ideas. I just had to bring myself. Every session had a different theme, which made it special. I loved the first session so much that I attended three in a row! I hope ANZA will arrange more sessions in the future.

Merpeople, sea urchins and sharks were amongst the colourful creatures floating through the lobby of the Fairmont Jakarta for our Annual Charity Ball. With so many wonderful costumes, it was a challenge choosing the best dressed Best Dressed winners' but Ursula and King Neptune took out the honours. Guests were treated to a delectable three-course meal and late night snack. Our band of pirates, Centrestage kept the dancefloor pumping. Thanks to our many sponsors we had an amazing lineup of of silent aucitons and raffle prizes. There was a dash of Trans-Tasman rivalry with our special Aussie vs Kiwi Hamper Raffle the winners were drawn by New Zealand Ambassador to Indonesia Jonathan Austin and Allaster Cox, Australian Deputy Head of Mission. It was another amazing event to benefit ANZA Social Welfare. Âż

Summer PASAR MURAH Photos by Kim Polden, ANZA Secretary and Zani van Staden, ANZA Social Welfare Director
There were many departures in the expat community over the summer, so our garage was full to the brim with donated secondhand items. Fortunately, word spread quickly about our Pasar Murah and the local community were able to get themselves some great bargains, items found a second home and ANZA Social Welfare raised much needed funds. Thank you to all our volunteers who pitched in with sorting and selling.

Giving Back While Living in Jakarta Volunteering with ANZA Social Welfare By Zani van Staden, Social Welfare Co-Director with Majorie Rinckes, ANZA Volunteer Photos by Zani van Staden and Majorie Rinckes
Adjusting to a different country can be very challenging, especially if your normal routine and work-life change significantly. Many of us seek a sense of community, purpose and fulfilment. This is where ANZA can play a big role in connecting people and creating various opportunities for socialising, learning and volunteering. ANZA’s Social Welfare Programme is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time, skills and effort to help out with the 17 projects that we currently support. There are many different ways in which you can get involved, from project coordination, admin, finance and teaching to marketing and events. This issue we are celebrating two of our members who have made a big impact during their time in Jakarta. We would like to thank Marjorie Rinckes and Catherine Anderson for everything they have contributed to the Social Welfare projects and the wider ANZA community. We (and the kids!) will miss them a lot and wish them all the best with their new adventures!
Marjorie Rinckes Volunteer Teacher at Kampung Kids
How did you get involved with Kampung kids? Shortly after I arrived, I met Indu, both our husbands worked at the NZ Embassy. She told me about a volunteer position at Kampung Kids that she was going to be involved with and it all started from there. Can you tell us a little more about Kampung Kids and the kind of volunteering you did? Every Monday morning, I go to Kampung Kids for an hour and take a class of between seven to ten children, aged 4 and 5 years old. We start by singing some well-known songs such as “Heads, shoulders knees and toes” and “If you're happy”. We then have mat and worksheet time, where we learn numbers from one to ten in Bahasa Indonesia and English. (You don't need to know Bahasa to volunteer here!). We then do an art activity (which I usually get from Pinterest). We have made bear masks from cotton wool balls, Octopus with pipe cleaner legs etc. We just have a lot of fun! There is an Indonesian teacher there to help us the whole time. He is great! ANZA also financially contributes to Kampung Kids. The money goes to providing the needy students with a hot meal at lunchtime. The Kampung school is for students unable to attend state school due to some form of financial hardship or poverty. I also spoke to the senior students at the school I taught at in New Zealand and they held a fundraiser for Kampung Kids.
socialwelfare - people What did you enjoy most about volunteering? The welcome you receive every time you walk through the Kampung. The mothers are so friendly and it's such a special feeling to be among these families. How has volunteering changed your experience of living in Jakarta? It has made living here very real and has made me very appreciative of the life I lead here and in New Zealand. It has also shown me how some people with so little are the happiest people alive.
27 orphanage and go to the Playground in Kemang. We would give them lunch and ice cream there too. But it was too hot there for several hours, so we started taking them to ANZA as we have a great playroom and air conditioning! Occasionally, we still take the kids on outings, like our recent trip to Jakarta Aquarium (p. 32)
What advice would you give to others who would like to volunteer? It is the best way to see life here in Jakarta and to be a part of the most incredible group of ladies on the social welfare team, who work on their projects and volunteer with passion, enthusiasm and heart. Your time in Jakarta is coming to an end soon, what are your plans next and what is one thing you will take with you? To spend time with my daughters aged 29 and 27... family dinners, coffees and wines with girlfriends and walking along the beach near our house. The one thing I will take back with me is the friendliness of the Indonesian people. Their love of family, eating together, their strength of faith and acceptance of everyone and everything.
Catherine Anderson Volunteer Coordinator for Yayasan Sayap Ibu Playgroup
What have you enjoyed most about volunteering? The most enjoyable part of volunteering has been seeing the children’s characters develop and watching their confidence grow. I have followed some of them from babies until school age. Over the years many have been adopted which is awesome to see and also a bit sad to see them leave but knowing they were adopted into loving families has been the icing on the cake. How has volunteering changed your experience of living in Jakarta? Volunteering has made my time in Jakarta worthwhile. There is only so much shopping and lunching that one girl can do! Your time in Jakarta is coming to an end soon, what are your plans next and what is one thing you will take with you? My husband and I are planning to move back to Nelson, NZ and remodel our home. We are looking forward to walking, cycling, hill walking and when winter comes around, skiing. It will be nice to be able to be outside and not boil. I have suffered a lot with the heat in Indonesia. I would like to continue my volunteering back in NZ with St John Ambulance.
How did you get involved with the Yayasan Sayap Ibu Playgroup? I got involved in 2015, as Sara Osman, the lead ANZA volunteer at the time was leaving Jakarta. Vikki Allan and I decided to volunteer together. Can you tell us a little more about Yayasan Sayap Ibu and the kind of volunteering you did? When I first started we would collect the children from the

Congratulations Class of 2019! Goodwill International Sponsorship
Goodwill International is a student sponsorship programme for university students that gives high-performing students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to continue their tertiary education. The sponsorship programme focuses specifically on students who are actively trying to make a difference in their community and society as a whole and then focuses on developing students’ leadership potential to help them become more well-rounded individuals and future leaders. Students who are sponsored by Goodwill attend monthly workshops and other training throughout the year to develop their soft skills and gain valuable knowledge of different industries and careers. Many of the Goodwill alumni eventually also become sponsors for other students as a way of giving back. This year, ANZA has sponsored ten students, of whom three have just graduated. We would like to congratulate Vincent, Ghina and Putu on completing their studies and wish them all the best with their future careers!
Putu Swasti Kirana Industrial Engineering, Universitas Indonesia Tell us more about your studies and why you chose this particular direction: I chose Industrial Engineering because I have always been interested in systems, as our society and life are made up of many systems interlinked together to be able to function. I am also interested in systems improvement and systematic thinking. Therefore Industrial Engineering was the best choice that I could have made in order to study all that. I believe knowledge about systems, improvement, and systematic thinking would assist me in my future career path, whatever it will be, as those are fundamental skills one should have. What role did Goodwill International play throughout your student years? Goodwill International helped me to prepare my aftercampus life through all the leadership training that I have attended for two years. I got some new skills, from marketing to time management, to new knowledge, from the food Industry to industrial relations. Moreover, the Goodwill International Special Training at Kinasih really helped me to be able to speak in public in a more structured manner
for various subjects. Despite the fact that I was not a person who really liked to speak in public. During my student years as Goodwill International Scholarship grantee, the public speaking skills were proven to be very useful as it helped me go through some competitions that required me to speak publicly, university projects, and my thesis defense. What has been the most memorable experience for you during your studies? When I was asked to choose which experiences have been the most memorable during my studies, I would answer: I have two types of experience. The first one is the academic experiences. During my studies, I participated in several competitions, ranging from Business Case competitions, Business Plan competitions, Project Management competitions, to Game competitions. The most memorable one was when I participated in the International Educational Games Competition which was held in Austria. The competition itself is a game making competition, digital and non-digital games, and my team made a game about food logistics and distribution. As a finalist, we presented our game, from the design, how it works, and the benefit of playing this game in front of the jury. By being able to participate as the finalist, my team and I got international exposure, we made friends from another country, and we also got to share things and specialities from Indonesia. The other has been work experience. During my 7th semester, I was working as an intern in System Automation division in an international bank while I was taking classes. The time management was rather tough since almost all of my classes had a group project for the finals and I had endless work to finish at the office. Plus travelling between campus and the office was challenging. Through this experience, I learnt that time management is very important and I also learnt that as long as you have the will, you can manage to do anything. This experience would be an unforgettable memory for me; I got to meet and work with amazing and inspiring people, work on new kinds of projects, learn so much about the banking industry and how technology has changed the banking industry; while still managing to attend classes and finish my projects. What are your plans after graduating? My plan is to work first, in order to expand my business acumen, networking, and my communication skills, then I will continue my study focusing on Business. I have been working as a Key Account Executive for almost two months now in a startup company focusing on Logistics. This opportunity allows me to interact with people from many
29 backgrounds, allowing me to learn about various things. Being exposed to a business, especially at a startup company, raises my awareness of daily business issues and allow me to share my ideas to improve overall company performance. I am planning to take on a strategy role after this, to further enhance my critical, systematic, and strategic thinking before continuing my study about business in the future.
Vincent Jonathan Fleming Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia Tell us more about your studies and why you chose this particular direction: I started to like learning chemistry in senior high school. I joined several chemistry competitions. I am also interested in green chemistry topics such as the waste treatment method and the biofuel. Therefore, I decided to take chemistry as my major. I always dreamt to enter Universitas Indonesia since it is the oldest and the best university in Indonesia. I joined the entrance test and gratefully I made it. What role did Goodwill International play throughout your student years? Goodwill International gave me valuable experiences through leadership training. I learned how to communicate with people, I learned about time management, and also about teamwork. I am tremendously grateful to be a part of the Goodwill International Scholarship Program. Furthermore, I would like to express my highest gratitude to my sponsor, ANZA (Australian and New Zealand Association) for supporting my financial needs during my study at Universitas Indonesia. What has been the most memorable experience for you during your studies? The special training program at Kinasih has been so memorable for me. I joined several English speaking competitions such as debating, speech and guessing competitions. I am glad to be the first winner of the speech competition. As a reward, I got a mini whiteboard. Thanks to the committee for making the special training program unforgettable. What are your plans after graduating? I am currently working at the International Patent Law Firm named Biro Oktroi Roosseno in Jakarta. I have the role in examining the Patent Application before it is submitted to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. I have a dream of continuing my study to a higher level. I plan to take a master degree in the future.
Ghina Sa’arah Nibras Economics, Institut Pertanian Bogor Tell us more about your studies and why you chose this particular direction: The reason why I chose Economics as my major was simply because I love math. I knew that math is heavily applied in Economics but as time went by, I realized that Economics is not only about math. In Economics, I learned a lot, whether it’s about how market and business works, social welfare, monetary policies, international trade, even politics. We can help other people by improving our economic condition, we can also understand what happened to the world and how to prevent the conditions - it explains how the world works. What role did Goodwill International play throughout your student years? I really want to say thanks to Goodwill and ANZA for giving me an opportunity to be part of the organization for 2 years. Through Goodwill, I learned a lot especially about how to face the post-graduate life, be more confident and believe in myself, and learning about how to improve my soft skills such public speaking, negotiation, leadership and communication. I even had a chance for interview practice with amazing people in their field. I also had a chance to do community service from ANZA by visiting Balarenik and learned a lot through people there. Goodwill and ANZA really played a big role through my student years and helped to make me even more prepared to face the postgraduate world. What has been the most memorable experience for you during your studies? All the experiences that I had during my studies were amazing and played a big role in my life. But, attending Goodwill Leadership Program once in a month is one thing that I’ve been missing lately. I really enjoyed attending the Goodwill Leadership Program because I could learn a lot of things through amazing people for free. Realizing how much I grew from the first day with Goodwill has always been the most memorable experience during my studies. What are your plans after graduating? After graduating I plan to study for a Master of Business Administration in Australia. Before applying for my master's degree, I would like to understand the business field itself by working in a private company for two to three years. That’s why I’m currently working at one of the largest garment exporters. After graduating from my masters, I’m planning to become a business consultant so I can help other business obstacles because in the end, helping people and making them happy have always been my goal. When I can make an impact on other people through my service or product, it feels like all my hard work is paying off.

PRISCILLA HALL MEMORIAL FOUNDATION 15 YEARS OF GOOD
by Emmaleen Murray, ANZA Berita Editor with Don Hall, Priscilla Hall Memorial Foundation Photos provided by PHMF ANZA has a long-standing partnership with the Priscilla Hall Memorial Foundation(PHMF). The Foundation was established in memory of Australian expat Priscilla Hall, who was tragically killed in a plane accident at Lake Lido, south of Jakarta in 2004. Priscilla spent the last few years of her life living in Indonesia and had a great interest in helping disadvantaged children.
Foundation's help with YUM's Vocational Training Centre (VTC) in Cipanas, West Java has upskilled many in the community. Day for Girls is one of the most exciting and farreaching projects the Foundation is involved
June 2019 marked the 15th anniversary of Priscilla’s passing and the forming of PHMF. Don Hall, Priscilla's father, was recently visiting Indonesia and I had the opportunity to learn more about the Foundation and its most recent project updates.
PHMF recently attended the grand opening of the vocational training building at Yayasan Balarenik which they helped fund. Yayasan Balarenik is focused on caring for and rehabilitating children with substance dependency. ANZA also provides regular monthly support to Balarenik and our volunteers Sylvia and Rini were in attendance. Through their relationships with Yayasan Mari Cintai Kanak Kanak (formerly Mary's Cancer Kids) and Wraps with Love Australia, PHMF provided hand-knitted beanies and wraps to young cancer patients at Dharmais Hospital, Jakarta in August. PHMF has supported Yayasan Usaha Mulia (YUM) for more than a decade. In particular, the
with. Days for Girls is an international programme providing feminine hygiene solutions and health education to underpriviliged girls and women. PHMF in collaboration with the Foundation for Mother & Child Health (FMCH) Indonesia has organised training and handed out more than 1,200 DfG kits to date to remote communities across Indonesia. The DfG kits include reusable cloth sanitary products in a cloth drawstring bag, that are predominantly sewn by volunteers. Not only is it an economical and accessible option for recipients it is also environmentally friendly. Pricilla's Enduring Legacy Despite the heartbreaking reason behind the Foundation, Don exudes pride when talking about the legacy that has been created in his daughter's name. He confides that the impact of PHMF has far exceeded his initial expectations and credits the generosity of Priscilla's friends and extended family, who have continued to support PHMF from around the world.

destination The Inside Passage You know that moment when you have an itch that just won't go away? Well, that itch comes from the Travel Bug. I recently had the absolute pleasure to cruise The Inside Passage in Alaska, beginning in Vancouver and ending in Seward. Wow! Spectacular! Amazing! Aweinspiring! All words that don't quite come close enough to describe the experience. The intense sunshine; the snow-capped mountains, ice floes, otters, whales and moose, the scrumptious seafood, the growing glacier and the frontier history - it is all luar biasa. You need to discover it for yourself. Put it on your bucket list and create some lifelong memories. By Kerryn Filmer, ANZA President

Scuba Diving in Indonesia
by Don and Erica Miller, ANZA Members
Just after we arrived in Indonesia our first trip was to Pulau Putri in the Thousand Islands. We hired a canoe and couldn’t believe the variety of marine life we could see in the crystalclear water. That rekindled our desire to dive so decided to requalify with PADI. After evaluating several PADI dive schools, we chose Master Selam in Kemang. We completed our Open Water, then Advanced Open Water Diver certification. This level gives us a wider choice of diving. Our open water dives took us back to Pulau Putri. Indonesia is one of the best places in the world to dive, with an underwater biodiversity second only to the Amazonian rainforest. However, there are a few things to keep in mind for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Booking a dive centre - If you don’t have a recommendation you can trust, then be sure to do some research before booking. - Check the centre is registered with the Authority they say they are (e.g. PADI). - Communicate with them to get a feel for their professionalism. They should ask to see your qualifications and insurance and about your level of experience and when your last dive was. Personal fitness and Insurance - Be medically fit and take out insurance. The Australian based Dive Assistance Network (DAN) is popular and International SOS has doctors qualified to do PADI diving medicals.
destination - indonesia Equipment - You can hire all dive equipment, but we think it’s better to have your own basic gear including a full-length wetsuit and dive computer. Not all of Indonesia has Java Sea warm water; some areas get the cold up-currents from the Indian Ocean which makes diving in only swim wear very chilly. A suit also protects against jellyfish and coral stings. - Always give the kit you are hiring a good look over; it should be in good condition with no tears or damage. Everything gets done for you here but don’t forget your training drills and check your equipment rigorously. You don’t want to find out you have no air as soon as you see that Mola Mola. - Dive within your no stop limits; remember there are very few decompression chambers in Indonesia and it takes a long time to get anywhere. There seems little point to take unnecessary risks, there are more creatures than you could ever imagine in the top 20m of the ocean around the coral reefs. With so many dive sites to choose from, you could spend a lifetime diving around Indonesia. From our experiences whilst Bali is very good we would recommend three must go to sites. The best is Raja Ampat - this is an area that has been very well protected and dive centres work with local communities to give them incentives to protect the habitat. Bunaken for its spectacular walls. Komodo National Park - Everyone knows about the dragons but most of the park is underwater with stunning corals and amazing fish. We continue to explore and later this year are diving the Banda Sea on a liveaboard - can’t wait.

SNORKELLING IN BELITUNG
Tour boats sheltered on Pulau Kelayang by Emmaleen Murray, ANZA Berita Editor
East of Sumatra and north of Java sits the little island of Belitung (or Belitong), with its stunning azure waters, white sand beaches and a tranquil vibe. Being just an hour flight from Jakarta, it was an attractive destination for a long weekend getaway. We spent our first few days relaxing at our beachfront hotel but were keen to go on a full-day islandhopping boat tour. We prebooked with a company recommended by friends but you could easily book via your accommodation. Island-hopping tours depart from Pantai Tanjung Kelayang and usually visit several islands and islets including: • Batu Berlayar a tiny island of large boulders and white sand • Pasir Island which is more a sandbar than island and is submerged during high tide • Bird Islet (Pulau Burong) which can be accessed from Tanjung Binga Beach by walking when low tide • Lengkuas Island which is a home of 129-year-old lighthouse This entire area is renowned for its calm, clear waters, which makes it great for snorkelling. The distance between each island is fairly short with the longest journey at twenty minutes. Our tour

Snorkelling fun
company supplied life jackets and snorkelling gear and we brought our own gear for our kids (aged 3 and 5). I think taking kids on this kind of adventure is a personal choice and you will need to feel confident with the company, equipment, conditions and your family's swimming abilities. The day of our tour started out overcast and didn't improve much so we were assessing conditions throughout. We started on Pulau Kelayang with a mini-trek through the jungle to explore cave pools formed by the enormous stones which surround the island. We refuelled with a fresh seafood lunch on Pulau Gede Kepayang and built sandcastles. Batu Berlayar was lovely and sheltered and the kids enjoyed looking for fish around the rocks. Our crew anchored in a spot abundant with reef fish where my husband and son enjoyed openwater snorkelling. Weather conditions deteriorated with light squalls blowing through and increasing winds making the water quite choppy. Consequently, we cut our boat tour short. We were disappointed about not visiting the lighthouse but satisfied that the kids had enjoyed their adventure and would sleep soundly back at the hotel, while hubby and I could enjoy a well-deserved beer. ¿

By SOS Medika, Medical Department Image from iStock October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month globally. SOS Medika, ANZA Silver Sponsors provide some useful information on breast selfexamination. Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most frequent cancer and the fifth cause of cancer-related mortality. It is the most common cancer to affect women and it is second only to lung cancer as the principal cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Though still clouded in controversy, breast selfexamination (BSE) still has an important role to play in the early detection of breast cancer in resourceconstrained settings where routine clinical breast examination and mammography may not be
feasible. In such settings, BSE is recommended because it is free, private, painless, easy, safe, and requires no specific equipment. It has also been shown to improve breast health awareness and thus potentially allow for early detection of breast anomalies. Why is BSE important? Breast cancer is characterised by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the milk-producing glands of the breast or in the passages (ducts) that deliver milk to the nipples. A breast self-exam that you do for breast awareness helps you understand the normal look and feel of your breasts. If you notice a change in your breasts that seems abnormal or if you notice one breast is different when compared with the other, you can report it to your doctor. There are many conditions that can cause changes in your breasts, including breast cancer.
aroundthedurian - health Although the breast self-exam technique isn't always a reliable way to detect breast cancer, a significant number of women report that the first sign of their breast cancer was a new breast lump they discovered on their own. For this reason, doctors recommend being familiar with the normal consistency of your breasts. To prepare for your breast self-exam for breast awareness: Ask your doctor for a demonstration. Before you begin breast self-exams for breast awareness, you may find it helpful to discuss the instructions and technique with your doctor. If you menstruate, choose a time in your cycle when your breasts are least tender. Your hormone levels fluctuate each month during your menstrual cycle, which causes changes in breast tissue. Swelling begins to decrease when your period starts. The best time to perform a self-exam for breast awareness is usually the week after your period ends. Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Here's what you should look for: • Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and colour • Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling • If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your doctor's attention: • Dimpling, puckering or bulging of the skin • A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out) • Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes. Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood). Step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. • Use a circular motion, about 2 to 3cm. • Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage. • Follow a pattern to be sure that you cover the whole breast. You can begin at the nipple, moving in larger and larger circles until you reach the outer edge of the breast. You can also move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, as if you were mowing a lawn. This up-
41
and-down approach seems to work best for most women. Be sure to feel all the tissue from the front to the back of your breasts: for the skin and tissue just beneath, use light pressure; use medium pressure for tissue in the middle of your breasts; use firm pressure for the deep tissue in the back. When you've reached the deep tissue, you should be able to feel down to your ribcage. Step 5: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4. Results - What's normal? Many women find lumps or changes in their breasts, since some of these are normal changes that occur at various points in the menstrual cycles. Finding a change or lump in your breast is not a reason to panic. Breasts often feel different in different places. A firm ridge along the bottom of each breast is normal, for instance. The look and feel of your breasts will change as you age. When to contact your doctor? If you notice any of the following changes in your breasts, notify your doctor as soon as possible: Changes in the nipple: • Tenderness • Change in appearance • Nipple that is slightly depressed inward (retracted) • Scaliness • Redness • Discharge • Rash Changes in the appearance of the breast: • A new mass or masses in the breast (not all masses are indicative of cancer) • Unexplained change in the size or shape of the breast • Dimpling or puckering on the skin of the breast • Unexplained swelling or shrinking of the breast • Unexplained pain in one area that is persistent and does not change position • Redness, warmth, or scaly skin on the breast • A hard mass, knot, or thickening inside the breast or underarm • Itching on the surface of the breast Your doctor may recommend additional tests and procedures to investigate breast changes, including a clinical breast exam, ultrasound or mammogram.

Udang Sitto Bakar Mentega
Sukang Bakar Rica Parape
MORE THAN SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE AT SULAWESI RAJANYA IKAN BAKAR & SEAFOOD by Emmaleen Murray, ANZA Berita Editor Photos by Sulawesi
Looking for a seafood restaurant? Sulawesi offers authentic cuisine from East Indonesia. They specialise in seafood from Manado and Makassar, traditionally grilled using coconut shell charcoal. Sulawesi is a family-run business established 21 years ago and has four locations across Jakarta. The Kemang branch is in a prime spot on Jl Kemang Selatan with plenty of parking out front. Inside the dark wood panelled, open dining area is a warm and inviting space ready for group dining. If you need more privacy, there are a few rooms partitioned by glass doors, perfect for lunch meetings or private functions. Sulawesi embraces family-style dining and it is easy to share multiple dishes from the extensive menu. At first glance the menu was quite overwhelming but with some guidance from the helpful staff, I made a selection of dishes for a substantial lunch for two. For starters we tried Otak Otak traditional fish cakes grilled inside banana leaves and Panada, similar to a Spanish empanada filled with a spiced tuna mix. Next up was Udang Sitto Bakar Mentega. I could easily have devoured two plates of these king prawns which are basted with a special sticky Indonesian butter sauce.
Homemade Sambal
Sulawesi catering for your next event
The mains section of the menu is divided into species of seafood, plus chicken, beef, tofu and vegetables. The vibrant photos clearly show what to expect. Bestsellers and recommendations can help narrow your choices quickly. Some fresh seafood are subject to seasonal availability. I chose Sukang Bakar Rica Parape - Grilled Leather Jacket coated with Rica and Parape sambals accompanied by a portion of Baby Kalian Bawang Putih. The sambal packed a punch to the fleshy mild white fish. There is a huge range of Indonesian sambals and international sauces to suit different palates including Teriyaki, which is a favourite with kids. We tried six of the sambals and my favourite was the tangy and sweet Mangga Camangi a special blend of chili, spices, tamarind, fresh mango and basil leaves. If you are a sambal fan, then you can order a jar to take home. There is also a large selection of traditional Indonesian desserts but we were too full to squeeze any more in. Fresh, flavourful dishes, friendly staff and an extensive menu makes Sulawesi a great option for all sorts of dining. If you are heading in for a quick meal then I recommend trying the Express menu options. Sulawesi also offer catering options including a live seafood grill, which would be great for a party.
