Yogyakarta, September 7th 2022─Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Fair 2022 is back on Wednesday (7/9) after a hiatus throughout the pandemic era.

NGO Fair 2022 invited several non-governmental organizations in Yogyakarta to promote their program. “We invite several organizations, research centers, and non-governmental organizations to come, with the hopes that students can find the organization that they see fit, specifically for those who like volunteering or doing internships,” said Dhani Karuniawan as the ACICIS Program Coordinator. NGO Fair is not only a place for students to find their volunteering and internship place, it is also a place to introduce many activism movements in Indonesia. One example of them is the orangutan conservation movement, an endangered animal that is often hunted. This organization invites the student to know the importance of preserving the wildlife through socializations and brochures written in two languages. There are also movements to educate and protect sexual violence victims, introduction of village self sufficiency and products, as well as the protection and empowerment of children in underdeveloped regions. read more
