The Indonesian American Education Foundation is an organization that is focused on providing funds and material necessary to create educational opportunities for underprivledged Indonesian children.
As you might know, the late Guru Besar Herman Suwanda was not only interested in teaching Traditional Pencak Silat but also was interested in creating educational opportunities for children in Indonesia.
The IAEF periodically has events and fundraisers in conjunction with the Asian Community ,as a whole ,and the Indonesian Communities. Their events often involve, ambassadorial / political personnel as well as local Indonesian merchants, community leaders and educators . It is an excellent way for the Pencak Silat schools to demonstrate their community and social responsibility , interact with their local Indonesian communities and support a wonderful cause.
Our group in Dallas Texas , has been supporting their efforts for a couple of years now. We have enjoyed it a lot.
The local community always seems very pleasantly surprised to find Traditional Pencak Silat being practiced with enthusiasm in Dallas Texas ( of all places....). Generally , they love to have some PencaK Silat at all their events.
I encourage you to consider becoming interactive with this organization if you have any interest in connecting with your local Indonesian communities or using you Pencak Silat training for a very worthy cause.
