Page 4 | Red Nose Foundation Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, Eight years ago I set off to Indonesia to give something back to Indonesia in the form of a three-month performance tour to bring levity and laughter to children living in the slums. Not long after the tour ended, I started devising a plan to re- turn to Indonesia and build an organization that could make a real difference in the lives of underprivileged children. I was joined by my two partners, Dedi and Renny, who helped develop, manage and improve Red Nose Foundation, so that it could touch the lives of more than 100,000 children across Indonesia’s vast archipelago. As I watch Red Nose Foundation grow, increasing its outreach capacity, developing new programs and bringing on new team members, I try to continuously evaluate the sustainability of the organization and its efforts. I believe there are three main components to an organization’s sustainability and indepen- dence: the relevance of its programs, the strength of its team and the reliability of its financial structure. For the last several years, we’ve worked to improve these three areas of sustain- ability, and I’m proud to report that growth is progressing at a strong pace. Red Nose has solidified its methodology of art-based ed- ucation, currently offering four programs to hundreds of In 2016, the doors to our North Jakarta Community Cen- children in North and South Jakarta.
