Ahmad Audli Natakusuma, Indonesia

My name is Ahmad Audli Natakusuma. I am from Lampung, Indonesia. I am a third year student of Urban and Regional Planning which focusing on Community Development. During my study, I have seen many social problems that is caused by the society itself. All those kind of issues are difficult to be solved, even by government, unless the society is engaged to solve it. Because of my tremendous curiosity, in May 2017 I created a social and educational communtiy called Telur Indonesia with my 2 other friends in order to blend and collaborate with society to solve their problem . With 40 team members, we have engaged more than 150 youths sitting alongside government discussing current issues and find the solution together. Followed by that, we succeed to co-operate with a school in a rural area in making development classes for the students through Fun Learning program. In this program, we introduce various jobs and occupations to the kids and motivate them to dream as high as they can as we believe that a big change will start from the fundamental issue which is education. During my leisure time, I spend my time to read book and play guitar. During weekend, I practice archery and hangout with my friends. I have a dream to make my hometown much develop in 20 years ahead, so I want to be a decision taker in my hometown. That is why I always seek any opportunity to prepare myself become a good future leader.
