Ade Barokah: Sometimes people know about
United States is just only from
the movie,
00:00:18.750,00:00:22.625
from the news, from the
newspaper, from the TV,
00:00:22.625,00:00:25.292
and this does not reflect the real reality,
00:00:25.292,00:00:27.958
the real situation in the United
States.

from U.S.
00:00:30.417,00:00:34.042

to analyze the situation in my
home country
00:00:34.042,00:00:37.917
and also apply what I have
learned there back in my work.

because it will totally change
your life, your mindset,
00:00:48.542,00:00:53.125
in a better way. And in the way that
you have never expected for.

have such kind of opportunity and to

is.
00:01:09.250,00:01:11.208
Tran Thanh Thao: With the knowledge, with
the experience
00:01:11.208,00:01:13.542
and with the friendships, with the
networking,
00:01:13.542,00:01:19.083
that will help us to develop our
community, our organizations,
our countries,
00:01:19.083,00:01:22.500

to bridge the gap of development
