CIS Activities Indonesia Independence Day CIS held its Indonesian Independence day celebrations in Christchurch on Sunday, the 31st of
August 2008 at Addington Primary School Hall. Approximately 130 Indonesian families and
friends attended the ceremony. The celebrations went very well, not the least because of the
presences of our guest performer, Didik Nini Thowok. This year, in the formal and
entertainment segments of the celebrations, we focused on the children. One of the Masters of
Ceremonies and the readers of the Proclamation and Pancasila were Indonesian children from
Christchurch, executing their duties exceptionally well. There was also an Indonesian dance item,
showcasing the home-grown talent of our girls and boys that was colourful and vibrant.
The adults also played their part with a live Indonesian band and a duet who sang a traditional
song from Ambon, both being very well received by an appreciative audience. As well as providing
the main lunch, CIS offered the Indonesian favorites of Bakso and Cendol, both selling out by the
end of proceedings.
Many thanks to the Indonesian Embassy for supporting the CIS celebrations. The Embassy
provided a donation, arranged and funded Didik Nini Thowok’s visit to Christchurch, and Bapak
Subandrio and Bapak Jeffrey from the Embassy gave up their weekend to be present.
Thorrington The Canterbury Indonesia Society (CIS) organised a food stall at the Thorrington Primary School
50th Jubilee celebrations on the 28th of October. CIS sold snacks popular in Indonesia such as
dadar gulung (Indonesian pancake), risoles, bakwan jagung (corn fritters), and tahu isi (stuffed tofu)
along with nasi kuning (special yellow rice). The stall was successful with most of the food being
sold.
By way of a thank you to the generosity of the Christchurch community in supporting Indonesia
after the Boxing Day tsunami and other large earthquakes that followed, CIS decided to donate
50% of the proceeds from the CIS food stall to Plunket; CIS gave Plunket $200.
Election Committee (PPN) There was a good turnout to the “Sosialisasi Pemilu 2009” held on Sunday the 21st of December at
Rob and Yanti’s home. Ibu Dewi, Ibu Yanti, Ibu Nina, Ibu Anggi & Ibu Ida provided the very
tasty food for the occasion. Pak Nino, Pak Ridwan and Pak Subandrio (representing the PPLN
(Panitia Pemilihan Luar Negeri) for New Zealand) made the presentation for “Sosialisasi Pemilu
2009”. They provided background about the arrangements for the Indonesian elections to be held
in April 2009 and also guidance on the voting and how votes would be counted.
Ashley Gorge Picnic CIS organised a summer barbeque that was held at Ashley Gorge on Sunday the 25th of January,
2009. The barbeque was to say thank you to all in CIS and to have an enjoyable day together.
CIS provided the food, barbeque facilities and games. It was a beautiful sunny day. Around 100
people turned out. The atmosphere was relaxing and a great opportunity for all to catch up with
friends and to make new acquaintances. The day was hot all day long but there was ample shade
under the trees and children and adults alike enjoyed cooling off in the Ashley River. The
programme started late morning and the last people did not leave for home until late in the
afternoon. It was a great day out.
Culture Galore Ida and Dessy coordinated the dance practices for Culture Galore. Practices were held weekly
over six weeks at different homes. Thank you for those who opened their homes for each of the
practices.
Those in the dance troupe included Ani, Lulu, Desi, Ida, Ludia, Tina, Anggi (Ibu2) and Ajeng,
Bima, Jocasta, Fanya, Sasya, Puteri, Nadia, Ruben (anak2).
CIS funded the purchase the costumes bought from Indonesia.
While practices were going on arrangements were put in place to organise an Indonesian food stall
at the Culture Galore event.
On Saturday 14th March 2009, the weather was fine and warm and Culture Galore went ahead at
Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Rd. The Indonesian dance troupe performance lit up the stage
with their beautiful performance and colourful costumes. The performance was well received
with representatives from the Singapore club and the Philippine club requesting the CIS dance
troupe to perform at their upcoming events.
The Indonesian food stall was a great success too. Pak Ecca’s family donated a large gazebo
(6m x 3m) to CIS and this was used for the event. Food on sale included pisang goring, perkedel
jagung and pastel, along with drinks. The food sold out quickly allowing the site to be tidied up by
the time the final performance was on stage.
The performance at Culture Galore! 2009 can be seen at:

Singapore Club Evening After Culture Galore the CIS dance troupe were invited to perform at the Singapore Club cultural
evening on the 4th April, 2009. The dancers again performed beautifully and were much
appreciated by the audience; the Honourable Lianne Dalziel MP was among those seated in the
audience.
The performance at the Singapore Club can be seen at:

Canterbury NZAID Students and the International Student staff team. A lovely dinner was
provided by NZAID for the dancers and supporters before the dance troupe performed to their
usual high standard.
Those in the dance troupe included Ani, Lulu, Ida, Anggi (Ibu2) and Ajeng, Bima, Jocasta, Fanya,
Puteri, Ruben (anak2).

Philippines Club “Twirling with Time” The dance troupe is to perform again on the 6th of June after the CIS AGM. Those in the dance
troupe will include Ani, Ida, Tina, Anggi (Ibu2) and Ajeng, Jocasta, Sasya, Puteri, Ruben (anak2).
There is one new recruit: Yanti.
Activities Supported by CIS Farewells The PPIC organized farewells for Rizal and family, Yuana and Dilara, and Suleman. This
included a great get together with another taste yummy Indonesian meal.
Seminar Amalia, Leo, Rijal, and Ani, PhD students at Lincoln and Canterbury Universities reported on the
results of their theses. CIS provided snacks and also a small gift to the presenting students.
Financial The financial report from the accountant was not complete at the time of preparing this report.
The reason for this is that the financial year for CIS ends on the 31st of May allowing very little time
to complete documentation for the accountant and for the accountant to review and complete her
report. This was discussed by the executive committee on the 17th of May and it was agreed that
the end of financial year date will be put back to 31st of March.
The financial report from the treasurer for the period 1st June 2008 to 31st March 2009 is expected
to be completed for presentation at the 2009 AGM. A copy of the financial report from the
accountant will be forward to CIS members as soon as it is completed.
Newsletter CIS prepared and published two newsletters during the period. Thank you very much to Pak
Dudi for initiating and preparing the newsletters. Copies of these newsletters are included in
Appendix B.
Administration During their term in office the executive committee drafted guidelines/tips for organising events.
These are presented in Appendix C.
The executive committee met every two month according to a schedule established early in the
term of the committee. The routine plan meetings assisted in forward planning of CIS events.
Survey At the picnic at Ashley Gorge a random survey of participants was undertaken. The results of the
survey are presented in Appendix D and can be summarized as follows:
•
•
Strong interest in continuing to operate the CIS email list;
Those surveyed indicated they would prefer CIS to support the following activities:
o Provide crisis support such as when a local Indonesian family is going through
tough times e.g. a death in the family;
o Organise day trips/barbeques/picnics;
o Organise farewells; and
o Organise the Indonesian Independence Day celebrations.
Closing Comment from the President The 2008 – 2009 year for CIS has been very successful. There have been moments and mistakes
have been made/ I apologise to anyone I have offended and to those who feel I have treated
them unfairly. However on the whole our community of Indonesian people and friends have put
on some great events. These events have contributed significantly to fostering the great Indonesian
tradition of gotong royong and community spirit. The events have also promoted Indonesia’s rich
heritage to its rightful place in the tapestry of culture diversity in Canterbury. And these after all
are the intentions of CIS.
There are always opportunities for us to do better. So come along to the AGM and let us know
how you think CIS can be an even more effective organisation for its members.
