The theme was taken from the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000 – 2015 from the United States (UN) which are still ongoing at the moment. Therefore, the “Post 2015” focus is crucial to make the MDGs sustainable.

Ni Luh Suweni and her friends acted as the representatives of Bali presenting the social-education project entitled “Gold Coin.” This project is about collecting coins for helping school to motivate the elementary students by making kid’s events. For example, coloring, drawing, story telling competition in the school instead of giving money to the school or student directly.
The good news, from among all participants from all provinces of Indonesia, they were awarded the third place for “Best Project Category.”
Congratulations Suweni and team. We are proud of you. Be the future leader! (Made Hery Santosa)
