Indonesian Dignitary Meets with SLBSC President and Board Members

On June 16, 2011, Indonesian House Representative Robby Sirait met with SLBSC President Joe Passanise, Board Member Thomas Bottini and Mr. Stephen Rutherford, World Affairs Council Director, at Armstrong Teasdale Law Offices in St. Louis to discuss education opportunities and the role of education in a democracy.

After reviewing SLBSC’s history, events and photos via the SLBSC website, Mr. Passanise provided a packet of booklets and pamphlets about educating citizens on democracy to Rep. Sirait from the Center for Civic Education.

Rep. Sirait initiated discussion about the need for college education for poor young adults in Indonesia. Seizing an opportunity to address this concern, Mr. Passanise has since contacted the U.S. Dept. of State which has committed to communicate with Rep. Sirait about U.S. current and future plans for helping Indonesia educate their young adults in the low economic category.
