World Without Borders, UKRAINE!!!! :)

Hi everyone,

My name is Erwet. And yes, that's my full name. lol. I am an Indonesian studying in NUS, majoring in chemical engineering. I am actually one of those people who apply for AIESEC Internship last year (2008) in September.

Initially when I joined AIESEC, I was applying solely to go for an internship, that's it. But you know, AIESEC offers more than just an internship for students. The first time I got to learn more about AIESEC is when I attended an AIESEC conference in Singapore. I was so inspired and energized after attending the conference. I met so many new people from different countries. I just love the feeling of so many people from so many nationalities all in a single relatively small seminar room. And since then, I became more involved in AIESEC, taking different responsibilities and basically just developing myself and my potential. PLUS, I get to meet so many interesting and open-minded people in AIESEC. Trust me, AIESEC people are somewhat different. In a good way of course. Lol.

And I am going to UKRAINE this summer holiday!! I am going to this place called Ternopil. And I would be doing a project called World Without Borders. Basically I would be going to different schools in Ternopil and just educating the children on my home culture, that is Indonesia. I'm going to teach English lessons to these children as well. The idea of me going to a far away country in Eastern Europe and interacting with the local Ukrainian just thrills me!! And I also hope to know the AIESECers in Ukraine. I learn that AIESEC in Ternopil is strong and they are a bunch of friendly people. I hope I can go to their local AIESEC small parties. Invites are most welcomed!

And there are also one guy from NUS who's Indian by nationality who would be going for the same project as me. Guess, I have a travel buddy then. Two girls from NTU would be joining us also. And I would meet more other interns from other parts of Europe as well, I learn. So it's EXCITING and I think it's gonna be a real enriching experience.


















For now I am working on getting a VISA, I would be going there in 1st of June. I already asked my sister to buy me some traditional Indonesian Batik for me to wear for my trip to Ukraine. I want to parade my Indonesian culture there.

I would write more when exciting stuff comes up. Keep reading peeps.

Hugs,
Erwet :D
