Those are some of the burning questions raised by our NGO partners during our last Corporate Social Leadership (CSL) training on Media Handling Skills (06-Feb-2008).

From Fashion and Lifestyle to Economy and Politics

In Maverick, we believe that life is about reinventing yourself. So when a friend decided to reinvent herself, it is only natural for us to celebrate that.

Books for the Blind

Yayasan Mitra Netra has launched an anthology of poems by Irwan Dwikustanto and his family in January 23rd, 2008. The funds generated from the anthology’s sale will be used to buy one thousand Braille books for the blind.

The anthology comes in a hard-cover format, and is priced at Rp100,000. If you buy a book, it means that you are helping one blind person to get one Braille book.

For those who are interested, please contact Yayasan Mitra Netra Rehabilitation, Education, and Training Manager Riyanti Ekowati at +62-21-7651386 or through fax at +62-21-7655264. You could ask for the book to be sent to your address or you could come to Jl. Gunung Balong II No. 58, Lebak Bulus, Jakarta 12440 Indonesia.

Yayasan Mitra Netra is the first NGO which joined Maverick’s Corporate Social Leadership program.

Books are windows to the the world. Let’s help open some windows.
