I notice you’re from Indonesia. I’ve never been there but it sounds like an interesting
place to live.
I've found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don't know much their own country, much
less anyone else's.
I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raise awareness about what's going on in the rest of the world.
Recently I’ve started a personal initiative; if I notice someone on DA is from another country, If I've done their country I let them know. It’s my way of letting them know that others are thinking about their home.
This one is about your home!
