Welcome briefing and first day
On the morning Monday 25th we we had our welcome briefing and kick-off meeting in the local Government office of Bappeda Province of West Java, in Bandung.
Over 2 hours we were welcomed by the secretary Ir. H. Husain Achmad, and other members of the local government. we also spent some time introducing ourselves and sharing a little information about our experience.
In the afternoon we visited a local library, where IBM and the local Government arranged for 50 school kids to participate in some games and competitions. These games were organised by Santi Diansari Sarino (Senior CC&CA Specialist) and Hartini Haris (Country Marketing Mgr and CC&CA leader) from IBM, and included drawing and KidSmart.
Throughout the day we couldn't have been made feel more welcome by our hosts from Bandung and especially the children who all want our autographs and photos taken with us. :-)
It was a very exhausting day, but so rewarding too.
Tuesday 26th, we started working with our local teams. The day consisted of introductions, and starting to share information relating to our assignment. The rest of this week will be spent gathering information, understanding our client requirements, and agreeing on a set of achievable deliverables within the time period of the assignment

Only 3 weeks to go
Over the last month a lot has happened. It's hard to believe but our assignment begins 3 weeks from now.
ABV:
All the logistics of our assignment are arranged by ABV ( Australian Business Volunteers )
ABV works with the IBM CSC program to identify potential clients that will benefit most from the IBM CSC program, and work with the clients to select us as best they can based on matching skills with clients requirements. It is up to us then to utilize our skills and expand our skills as best we can too, to work as a group and to contribute to other teams as well, to deliver best solutions to our clients. Last week we received details of our assignments. We're split into 3 teams. I am working with Victor, Nitin and Trupty.
Flights:
Through ABV my flights have been arranged and paid for. Unlike other IBM travel, no need to pay using my own credit card and expense later.
Visa Application:
I successfully applied for my 60 day Single Entry Business Visa to Indonesia. There is no Indonesian Embassy in Ireland, so I had to send my application to the embassy in London.
I had to include a completed application form, my passport, 1 passport photo, 2 sponsor letters - 1 from IBM and 1 from Client in Indonesia (ABV supplied both these letters), Bank account statement to show I had sufficient funds to look after myself in Indonesia (no idea how much sufficient is, but I must have had enough), £35 Sterling Draft Visa fee +£10 Sterling to cover cost of return postage.
Unlike some who had to go back to their embassies more than once, thankfully it was successful first time for me
Accommodation:
For 4 weeks we'll be staying in Magnolia Bed and Breakfast
The adventure begins....
On Thursday 21st February the adventure begins. Flying via Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur, arriving in Jakarta Fri 22nd. We have 2 nights in Jakarta, visiting the IBM Indonesia office for meet and greet and security briefing followed by dinner on Sat 23rd. The next day, Sunday, we travel to Bandung to be ready to meet with our clients on the Monday
