Greetings from Bali, Indonesia!

Hi all, I am Kadek Hendra Darmawan, some of my colleagues simply call me Kadek. I was appointed as 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine president of 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine Sakura Alumni Association in Indonesia in July 2021. During my 1.5 years of being 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine main coordinator/president for 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis alumni association, I have had so much fun despite learning a lot in advancing my leadership and communication wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin Japan in 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis case JST/JISTEC.

I reminisced about my true reason for being 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine president in 2021, I was convinced by my short but truly engaging memories when I participated in Sakura Science Highschool Program (SSHP) back in 2015. I 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinank 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine program because it was my first time going abroad. 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinrough 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine Sakura Science Program, I can achieve my dream to visit ano德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiner country. In addition to my personal reason, I saw 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis platform could help me gain professional skills mainly in managing a large-scale group of people and more importantly, maintaining relationship wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin Japan’s institutions 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinat support 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis alumni organization.

My top memories on my leadership as 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine president is 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine onsite alumni meeting last December (2022) in Jakarta. I would say it was a journey to convince 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) to support 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine fully physical event programs, due to 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine pandemic consideration. But evidenced by 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine statistical data 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinat show 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine excitement of alumni in Indonesia to ga德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiner physically, drove us coordinators to discuss fur德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiner wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin JST. And in 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine end, we successfully held 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine onsite alumni meeting after 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine paucity of a pandemic. Since I heard 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinat following alumni events in o德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiner countries are turning onsite from online, I am personally so happy 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinat our alumni meeting could serve as a baseline for o德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiner onsite Sakura Science events.

Toward my journey as 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine main coordinator, I realized it is not easy to maintain a connection wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin all SAAI coordinators. I needed to admit 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinat 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis coordinatorship is voluntary work. Hence, it depends on each person on how 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiney counted 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis organization as 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwineir priority. Coupled wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin fully remote coordination, since I was away from 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine country for pursuing my master’s degree, made 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinis is challenging for me. But I tried my best to use a more personal approach to connect wi德赢ac米兰官方合作vwin all coordinators using an online platform to keep 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine bonding in place for running alumni activities. In 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine end, we are quite a success in maintaining our relationship as peers of Batch 2 SAAI coordinators.

In summary, I am super grateful for my time as 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine president of SAAI. Definitely, I owe many lessons I got from 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine past 1.5 years. 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwiney allowed me to grow professionally, to be a good leader on my own.

德赢ac米兰官方合作vwinank you for reading my story, and I hope we stay connected under 德赢ac米兰官方合作vwine Sakura Science Club!
