Outward Bound Indonesia inaugurates
OBI Care (read: OB I Care) as a commitment
for service to humanity. OBI Care’s mission
is to inspire and empower people to be
confident, interdependent, responsible,
compassionate and caring to the world around
them in the hope of making this humanitarian
effort come to full circle and therefore
grow organically.
I Care!
An important part of OBI Care is the “I”
part, I Care. We each have a responsibility
as world citizens to care about our
community but more importantly to act upon
it. Care is not a feeling. It’s meaningless
unless it’s put into action. As Prophet
Mohammed phrased it, ”A person's true wealth
is the good he or she does in the world.”.
In the same spirit, OBI Care endeavours to
collaboratively with fellow global citizens
help empower those less fortunate reach
their best potential.
OBI Care Collaborative Humanitarian
Project
Through OBI Care, Outward Bound Indonesia in
a collaborative force with 7 of Indonesia’s
major institutions gave an Outward Bound
Personal Development Program scholarship to
16 underprivileged recipients. The
recipients are comprised of men and women of
Karang Taruna (Youth Organization), school
teachers and Yayasan Lekania. The
scholarship recipients went on a 4-day
Outward Bound journey, from 5-8 September
2007 in which their life-skills are put to
the test; they had to work together, they
had to be leaders as well as followers, they
had to be decision makers, they had to be
responsible, disciplined, interdependent and
compassionate for others.
