By Asep Haryono

As I have promised before today's posting is about the ultimate program of that 20 years of celebration of the Kang Guru Indonesia participation in Indonesia, was a welcome party conducted at Australian Consulate in Sanur, Bali.

You could have read my posting about 20 years of Kang Guru Indonesia articles I have submitted before in the part one , part two , and part three to get a better idea of the entire stories. Anyway is all up to you. I would like you all to read my posting with fun and joy and never be in my mind to make trouble in every way.

The celebration and party of the 20 years Kang Guru Indonesia held at the IALF starting from noon until the afternoon, and to be continued by the last day at the Australian Consulate.  By the way,  if you want to know who we were, 7 KangGURU Indonesia Champions could be seen here, and you will understand who we were all and where we came from :)))

As I have posted in my previous articles before that some of interesting programs have been successfully conducted at Kang Guru Indonesia head quater at Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (I/A/L/F) building located at Jalan Sesetan, Denpasar Bali. While the Australian Consulate in Bali located in Jalan Tantular, No. 32, Renon, Denpasar, Bali.

The programs delivered in happy and fun ways including games , food , baloon party , door prizes , singing , dancing and also exhibition during the celebration at the IALF Building. Some of the participants were from the winners from Kang Guru Indonesia competition winners, along with Kang Guru Indonesia champions all across Indonesia for sure.

The invitations stayed at the same Hotel, Puri Dalem , with Kang Guru Indonesia Champions, and we all took the same IALF bus to take all of us to the Australian Consulate located in Sanur. It just took a few minutes driving from the IALF head quarter, all participants and Kang Guru Indonesia champions standing in line for security checking at the entrance gate by the Australian Guards.

Speech, Games, Food
As I have mentioned before that the celebrations were held in Bali to mark 20 years of English language learning and people-to-people links between Australia and Indonesia through the Kang Guru Indonesia program. The Kang Guru Indonesia itself funded by Australia since 1989, Kang Guru Indonesia has helped hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and communities across Indonesia to develop their English language learning.

The Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Bill Farmer, attended on that day's celebrations at the Australian Consulate-General in Denpasar, Bali. Mr Farmer acknowledged the program's significant efforts over the last 20 years.

On his speech , Mr Farmer said that Kang Guru Indonesia brings together interesting people to people activities which really reflect the close bonds that exist between the people of both of our countries.

Ririn , Kang Guru Champion Jakarta, also donated her lovely voice by singing in front of the audiences and participants of the celebration there too. She sang one song only to give other participants and people to stand up at the stage.

Back to Mr Farmer said that
Kang Guru Indonesia did a great job, and he extended his great appreciation to all Kang Guru Indonesia team to get together to give good efforts to foster the friendship between Indonesia and Australia.

Mr Farmer said that the Kang guru Indonesia also brings together interesting people to people activities which really reflect the close bonds that exist between the people of both of our countries.
This program is helping to ensure future generations of Australians and Indonesians know and understand each other better, further strengthening our friendship,” he said.

Beside an interesting games played by all participants of the party, there was another speech from the consulate. Food and drinks were available during the party, and we noticed the food were excellent, and absolutely free for everyone. Just be aware of the food here due to some kinds of the food are made of pork which abandoned or prohibited for Moslems.

This party has been successfully held at the Australian Counsulate on Saturday 21 November 2009, and Kang Guru Indonesia would like to thank the many people who have contributed to KGI’s success on the party of the celebration.
