Asia Pacific Region International Pharmaceutical Student’s Federation
The international level Exaudi, APRO ICCO
Greetings from Asia Pacific Region! I am Exaudi Ebennezer, a 20 years old student from beautiful country Indonesia. I am currently in my 3rd year of Pharmacy at the University of Indonesia. It’s been 9 months since I was elected and it’s my pleasure to write you what I have been doing as Internal Coordinator and Communication Officer of Asia Pacific Regional Office. Being involved in IPSF gave me a lot. This is my first experience working in international scale, with people from different countries and diverse cultures. My main task are read and reply email, collect report from CPs, make newsletter for APRO, manage and update APRO’s facebook and twitter, make and maintain APRO’s website (apro.ipsf.org). Put simply, my job is working in from of my computer to spread the information and involve interacting with people. Every incoming report and article need to be proofread first, and Chrissy (secretary of APRO) help me to do this. Once the article is ready to go, I put it on newsletter and make it spread. I am pretty active on social media website and love to interact with people , made me become familiar to manage APRO’s facebook and twitter, even spending the whole day read and reply to any post and mention on twitter. It’s take a lot of time to work, but I love what I do and IPSF spirit has already infected me since APPS in Jogjakarta. Besides working on APRO things, I and Ines work together to make the other regional office’s website, make official card name for IPSF, and share idea one each other. I learnt many things over these last few months and it helps me to upgrade my self. Many ways can be used to contribute to IPSF and I hope what I have done, can inspire others to contribute as well. My last word, one of the next biggest event of APRO coming up is Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Symposium. I highly recommend you to come and enjoy the IPSF spirit, and don’t miss IPSF world congress in Egypt as well. Vive la pharmacie! Exa NEWSLETTER 2 IPSF News from IPSF
