I'm with Ir. Onno Widodo Purbo, M.Eng., Ph.D., Indonesian information
technology expert and widely regarded as the father of the Indonesian
internet because his extensive works to develop cheap internet network
for many people in Indonesia. This moment was very happy for me of
course because I have known about him for a long time. My mother used to
tell me stories about him, especially about how Mr. Onno tried to
develop VoIP for the people.

I never thought I would meet him and finally I met him in the talk
show of 16th Satu Indonesia Awards by Astra International. I had a
little chat with him while we were taking photos hehe. I would like to
give special thanks to my community, Manado Dinding Community (Komunitas
Dinding Manado) because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have been able
to attend this event.

If others only focused on Ma'am Dian Sastro in that event, I focused
on Mr. Onno. If possible, I also want to continue Mr. Onno's good and
sincere efforts. The internet should be accessible and affordable to
everyone. I grew up with the internet since I was little, the internet
has really helped my life from the past until now and in the future.
With the internet I have also been connected with all of you from all
over the world, especially you my friends. Stay connected with the
internet!
