A Women About ...

Here this my speech on TEDxUbud:



My name is Lian Gogali. I was born and raised in an area of Indonesia called Poso, which is in the middle of the island of Sulawesi. You have probably never heard of it before because it is very remote and rural, with maybe 200,000 people living in it. It has a beautiful unpolluted lake, which is clear like the ocean, we have a 12 level waterfall, rolling hills, and lots of beautiful natural scenery. Maybe more beautiful than Bali. It is rich in natural resources like gold, oil, gas, marble, many types of wood that were untouched. It was a nice, simple life there. Poso is unique because it has a mix of Muslim, Christian, and Balinese Hindus all living together, we had intermarriage and harmony between all the different ethnic groups and religious beliefs. I come from a small village where my family is Christian. We never imagined what would happen to Poso.
