Contact with U.S. Embassy in Jakarta

At the end of March 2013, AIFIS hosted Scot Marciel, US Ambassador for Indonesia to give the opening speech at an event entitled “Interfaith Dialogue: Lessons learned from Muslims in America.” The invited speaker at this event was Ustadz Shamsi Ali, a native Indonesian and imam at the Islamic Cultural Center in New York.

Scot Marciel, US Ambassador with Ustadz Shamsi Ali On June 20, 2013, Clay Pell, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Department of Education for International and Foreign Language Education visited the AIFIS office, accompanied by representatives from the Cultural Affairs section at the US Embassy and the Library of Congress. AIFIS’s Supervisory Representative, Timothy McKinnon gave a short presentation outlining AIFIS’s achievements in its year and a half of existence. This was followed by brief remarks from Abby Cohn (Cornell University) and Michael Price (Stanford University) outlining how AIFIS has been assisting American scholars in dealing with logistical challenges facing scholars conducting research in Indonesia.

Mr Clay Pell and AIFIS Mr. Pell thanked AIFIS for its hard work and, remarking on the administration’s foreign policy “pivot” toward Asia, especially Southeast Asia, emphasized that the Department of Education is eager to know how it can help AIFIS further develop in Indonesia. Plans were then discussed for initiating an AIFIS/Fulbright Lecture series, and for ways in which Indonesian books and journals can be made more accessible through digitization, particularly through gaining access to LIPI’s large research archives. Plans were also discussed for a general meeting between AIFIS and USINDO, AMINEF, US Joint Council, the US

Embassy, Ford Foundation and other US agencies in Indonesia. AIFIS subsequently received a letter of thanks from the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the US Embassy, stating that they were very impressed with AIFIS’s activities and programs, including the broad networking with diverse organizations throughout the country. There have been continued conversations with Will Truchrello, Director of the Library of Congress for Southeast Asia regarding the possibility of AIFIS working with LC to digitize Indonesian scholarly publications for availability to scholarly institutions and the possibility of AIFIS and LC establishing a joint position perhaps in our satellite office in Yogyakarta, to work on digitalization.

12 AIFIS Indonesia-Annual report 2013

The following attachment contains Chozin’s activies reports since July 2013: Activity Report: July 2013 Introduction In July 2013, I traveled to several cities in Sulawesi and Sumatera to introduce AIFIS and expand its network. In Sumatera, I traveled with AIFIS’ fellow Diego Fossati who is on his field work of conducting research on health policy issue in Indonesia. Hence, my travel was not only expanding the networks but also helping Diego Fossati in conducting interview and data collection.

Travel to Central Sulawesi Province On 12-13 July 2013, I visited Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi province. I met with Mr. Amin Abdullah, a local prominent artist who popularized Kakula music globally. He also works as a lecturer at Tadulako University of Palu and staf at the Culture and Tourism Agency of Central Sulawesi Province. He earned his master’s degree in Asian studies at the University of Hawaii in Manoa, USA. Further information about what is Amin Abdullah doing, you may visit: (http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/04/05/amin-abdullah-popularizing-kakula-globally.html) To Mr. Abdullah I introduced AIFIS and discussed the potential collaboration between AIFIS and UNTAD or other institutions in Palu. As he is now in the process of initiating an Institute of Art and Culture in Palu, so there is possibility to establish collaboration in art and culture events. Mr. Abdullah told me that the Institute of Art and Culture only available in Java so far, therefore, there is a need to establish the art and culture institutions in other islands outside Java.

Travel to Jambi Province On 20-21 July, I visited Jambi Province, the capital city of Jambi Province. First, I met with Dr. Bambang Hariyadi who teaches at University of Jambi (UNJA). Dr. Hariyadi is a scientist who focuses on preserving indigenous knowledge of conservation. He wrote a book titled “The Entwined Tree: Traditional Natural Resource Management of Serampas, Jambi, Indonesia”. To Mr. Hariyadi, I introduced AIFIS and discuss any possibility for initiating a partnership between AIFIS and UNJA. Since he concerns on conservation and indigenous issues, he gave an idea of initiating collaboration research between Indonesian and American scientists to work on preserving indigenous knowledge of conservation. According to him, America and Indonesia have similar experience in preserving the indigenous people. America has experience in preserving the Native American and Indonesia has experience in preserving indigenous people such as Kubu tribe in Jambi. Therefore, scientists from both countries may share knowledge and ideas to work on this issue.

Secondly, I met with Mrs. Nelly who works as program officer at WARSI. WARSI is an organizational network established in January 1992, with membership made up of twelve NGOs from four provinces in Sumatra (South Sumatra, West Sumatra, Bengkulu and Jambi), whose focus is biodiversity conservation and community development (for further information: www.warsi.or.id). Currently, WARSI’s program has a lot of focus on Kubu tribe in Jambi Province. Besides introducing AIFIS, I also discussed any possibility to build activity collaboration with WARSI. According to Nelly, collaboration in the student exchange between America and Indonesia is a possibility. Because, so far, WARSI already has collaboration with Volunteer of America that sending American students regularly to do internship in WARSI. To do internship, Volunteer of America pays their travel cost and WARSI pays their living expenses in Jambi. However, as now WARSI’s financial capacity is getting weaken, so they need fund support from other institution to cover the cost of the internship. Lastly, besides meeting with scientist and activities, we also had a chance to meet with Governor of Jambi, Mr. Hasan Basri at his house. Diego Fossati used this opportunity to interview him regarding his research on health policy in Jambi.

Interview with the Governor of Jambi Travel to Bengkulu Province On 24 July 2013, I visited Bengkulu Province. I met with faculty members in Social and Political Science Department at University of Bengkulu (UNIB). We discussed the possibility of establishing networking between AIFIS and UNIB. The Dean said that they will welcome to any initiative from AIFIS to make partnership. There are several possibilities of sending researchers exchange between UNIB and AIFIS or even establishing a small office for AIFIS at UNIB. According to the Dean, there are very few foreign With faculty members at University of Bengkulu

Egypt (with the Palestinians) is the first country to recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. On March 22, 1946, at the urging Egyptian Shaykh Hasan Albanna (head of the Muslim Brotherhood), recognized the independence of Indonesia. Since Egypt and Palestine recognized Indonesian independence, countries in the Middle East flocked recognized Indonesian independence. Not only that, India and surrounding countries, then, followed these steps. Other than that, Indonesia also sends thausand of students to study in Egypt, especially to Al-Azhar University whis is the oldest university in the world. In fact, when the tsunami hit Aceh in 2004, the Muslim Brotherhood has sent Dr. Mohammad Mursi to directly to Aceh to conduct humanitarian activities.
