I am an activist in field of education and therapy for special needs children, and manage four special needs schools in Riau Islands. I love to be around those children, because they make me thankful for what I have in my life.

In the other hand, I also active in some youth organization, from local, national, and international. I am a Youth Peace Ambassador International, and I have some projects in Batam, they are focused on disability, education, youth participation, go green campaign, volunteerism, entrepreneurship, and human rights.

I also have some business, as a founder of an Autism Behavioral Therapy Centre, and doing some business in tour and travel in Singapore. I am still looking for any opportunities to expand my business, and maybe we can have a good relationship to make a collaboration. Why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an activist, I need people to get my influence. In couchsurfing, I met many people around the world, who get interested in my projects, and we had discussion, and sharing ideas about an issue. It is way more effective to spread the awareness to international scale, isn't it? :)

I also open an opportunity for traveller in Batam to come to my special needs school, You can do volunteer here, to teach English, and get information about how the children learn at school. It is such a mutualism symbiosis, that you can get an experience as a travelunteer (traveller do volunteer), and I get an international agent to spread awareness.

And if I had a social project during your coming, you could join it too! Most of my social project take place in some elementary or junior high school in Batam. If you join, we can have a discussion about what happen in your country, and compare it to what Indonesia faced, so the participant also get richer point of view. It is also a great way of mutualism symbiosis!
