In Indonesia, it’s always a nice gesture to bring a little ‘Australiana’ gift for the various people you will meet during your program.
These needn’t be expensive, but even something little will go a long way and be greatly appreciated. I suggest participants consider different kinds of gifts for the different groups they will meet, including:
- Australian souvenirs for Atma Jaya student buddies and children you may meet through field visits (e.g. caps, t-shirts, stickers, colour pens, and soft toys such as little koalas);
- Some ‘nicer’ Australiana office souvenirs for your colleagues and/ or Host Organisation mentor (e.g. a nice pen set, nice coasters/ tea-towels, a nice 2019 ‘Australiana’ diary/ calendar, Australian mugs/ teapots, picture frames
