My Jakarta: Aan Rukmana, Lecturer at Paramadina University
In providing education to the poor, some donate their money, while a smaller number of people decide to become volunteer teachers. Now, try to envision an education advocate who actually built a school, and then a second one, all before he reached the age of 30. 10:36 AM Feb 7, 2012

My Jakarta: Bagus, Child Busker
While you read this, maybe your children are playing with their friends or getting some after-school tutoring to improve their grades. But for 10-year-old Bagus, his extracurricular activity involves jumping from bus to bus, singing the latest song he can remember while plucking along on his ukulele, hoping to receive some coins for his effort. My Jakarta ran into Bagus on a Kopaja bus while traveling from Slipi to Grogol, We asked him how he felt being a busker, what he did with the money he earned and his hopes for the future. While most children dream of being an astronaut or a celebrity, all Bagus dreams of is a steady job in an office. 2:53 PM Feb 3, 2012
