Karin Johnson’s Testimony

Senang juga bisa bertemu dan berkenalan dengan Mrs. Karin Johnson, awal pertemuannya sih ketika beliau berkunjung ke sekolah pas saya sedang mengajar, waktu itu beliau sedang melakukan survei untuk sekolah yang siap menjadi “base project” OLPC (One Laptop Per Children).

Setelah bertemu, saya beberapa kali berkunjung ke kantornya di Jl. Monginsidi sambil berbincang mengenai OLPC, saya juga diminta untuk mempelajari produk OLPC dan setelah itu menjelaskan ke beliau.

Bukan hanya itu, beliau memperkenalkan saya dengan sekolah pesisir (SOKOLA) yang terletak di daerah miskin pinggir Jl. Metro Tanjung Bunga, saya melihat semangat mana anak-anak di sana sangat luar  biasa dalam belajar dan mengembangkan diri walaupun mereka miskin.

Sayangnya kantor Save The Children di Makassartidak diperpanjang kontraknya dan Mrs. Karin kembali ke New York, dan sesampainya di New York, beliau mengirimi saya email referensi yang saya sengaja publikasikan melalui blog ini. Hehehe 🙂

Karin Johnson Programme Manager at Save The Children UK I have known Romy Steven J. for two years, during which time he volunteered his time and talents towards helping me write the technical section of a One Laptop Per Child proposal while I was working with Save the Children UK in Makassar. His knowledge and skills in IT, particularly hardware, were an immense help to me. His help was essential in understanding what equipment and software is necessary to setting up wireless intranets within schools and how to share signals among schools. He aided in setting down this ICT framework in a proposal. Romy is very much an autodidact, studying English on his own, in addition to learning the ins and outs of computers. He is a quick study, reliable, hardworking, friendly, and very helpful. I highly recommend him as an employee to you.
