NEW ZEALAND:
The Convention Center in Christchurch, New Zealand, was the site of the 13th Subud World Congress in January 2010. We are grateful for the vision, dedication, creativity and the plain hard work required in organizing Subud World Congresses, and the New Zealand organizing team stood out in all areas. Add to this the feeling of a relaxed atmosphere, the congress was reported by Subud members the world over as joyous and ‘mature’ and met the diverse needs of a worldwide membership and the business of congress. And as if that weren’t enough for the Christchurch volunteers, they added an addition to their latihan hall, almost doubling the size while planning for the congress.In September 2010 and February and June of 2011 devasting earthquakes struck Christchurch. While all members remained unharmed physically, the devastion to structures, infrastructure and ongoing stress from over 8000 aftershocks have taken their toll. Even the convention center where the congress was held will be torn down. [report below] A successful fundraising appeal from the WSA and SDIA brought in much needed assistance; approximately $75,000 USD including $10,000 donated to local aid organizations.
KALIMANTAN:
Subud has an impact on and is playing a role in the development of Central Kalimantan through its social activities as well as through various enterprises. It is a hub for the growth of Subud. Two visioning workshops have been held in Rungan Sari, the Subud community outside Palangkarya, the capital city. In 2006 Osanna Vaughn, then WSA Chairlady, began an international dialogue on Kalimantan in the worldwide Subud community to better understand how Subud was contributing to the development there. A 2007report remains relevant and provides much background information.
