IMPROVING MYSELF

There is a large gap between rich and poor people in Indonesia. The consequences of this gap are seen especially in the housing situation. Whereas the rich people have big houses and large estates, people with a low income (generally below $ 100 per month) live as squatters in slum areas or inappropriate situations such as riverbanks. With the knowledge and skills about Regional and Community Planning and Development, I could greatly improve my work for the laboratory. Besides improving my self, this knowledge will be passed on to my colleagues through the project-team structure. In the end, I hope to contribute to the improvement of the housing situation of low income people in Indonesia.
